Connie usually wore a thick bangle around her left wrist.

Plot[]
Hunters Arc[]
In Constance’s first appearance, she is at her shop while the The Handymen trio fix it. After a while of working, Connie invites Alex in for a cup of tea. She is really friendly towards her guest and starts small talk. Apparently, brawls often occur at the gun shop, since many gangs encounter in there. Then, Connie awkwardly grabs Alex’s boobs and is amazed about how real they feel, ignoring the fact they are indeed real.
Granny Joel gives a surprise visits to her granddaughter's place. Constance shows concern for her grandmother’s safety. Carrying on with the talk, she doesn’t shows any signs of being uncomfortable or against the fact that Alex was a former whore. Furthermore, she heavily implies that Granny Joel was also a whore when younger. She bothers her elder though, and is scolded.
Connie is curious about if Alex is planning on going back to her family. She quickly regrets asking after Alex gets really upset about the question. Trying to help her new friend, she suggest to get The Handymen to find her brother. After finishing the work, Granny and Connie invite the whole The Handymen crew to eat Navarin, which Connie really likes. [1]

Instantly after her arrival she jumps into Marco’s arms and starts crying in relief. Between sobs, she asks for her her ring, the one Marco always has to give back, even if he is about to die. Galahad calls this “a curse”.
Later, most probably the next day, Constance gives Alex a key. Alex is baffled, but Connie explains that if Alex wants to live to meet her brother, she can’t stay at The Handymen forever. This heavily hints that the key opens an apartment, one that Alex is free to use.[2]
