It is when you tell me you're incapable of feeling empathy.

[circumsutus]

I've been assigned to teach them. That's all it is.

[jumpthegun]

Really? Your duty as a teacher is that strong? Why did you become a teacher in the first place? Just an assignment?

[circumsutus]

That's right.

And the only one of my students here is my boss' son.

[jumpthegun]

Can you just, I dunno, pretend your boss told you to protect and care for everyone else here? Would that help you? Think about that duty extending beyond Kid.

[circumsutus]

I'm not asking for your advice.

[jumpthegun]

No. You're asking me to accept an apology from you. That acceptance comes with the advice, mate. Because I don't want this to happen again, no matter how manic this place makes you.

[circumsutus]

It won't happen again. I can promise you that.

[jumpthegun]

[We'll see, the more cynical and distrusting part of him chimes.]

I hope not, Dr. Stein. Let me know if you start getting the urge, though. We'll see to someone stopping you properly this time.

[circumsutus]

I won't need someone to stop me. Now that I'm aware of the possibility, I can stop myself.

[jumpthegun]

[Mmhmm. He doesn't believe that, but the conversation isn't going anywhere.]

All right. Good day, Dr. Stein.
