I still felt bad for how much he seemed embarrassed. I'm glad Hank was able to put him at ease, sort of. I don't know if anyone really could, with all those hangups he seemed to be talking about. Speaking of hangups, he keeps talking about "talent" during the "exams?" Strange. I can't get a read on just what he's motivated by, or why. I got into an argument with Connor at the meeting, and this kid just kept butting in. Okay, I shouldn't be surprised, but in it I think I just made everyone suspicious of Connor to begin with. What a damn mess. Honestly, a spy for the administration was mentioned weeks ago. Why did get get so paranoid and jump down Connor's throat? It's obvious, from the way he talks, why he would defend Ha Mister Young.
I don't think this boy and I are ever going to get along. He seemed convinced that Connor committed the murder, the murder of his partner. Partly because both of us were trying to make everyone understand why they were just pushing us into spilling more blood. But that's not what pissed me off. What pissed me off was, even after Alexander had confessed, he was trying to get everyone to purposely vote incorrectly for Connor! After seeing how messed up he was?! Seeing how suicidal he was?! God, I didn't want to push Alexander to death either, but choosing to take advantage of Connor?! Honestly I think he's just bitter from the meeting. Or it was something to do with that damn talent he mentioned again.
Who would've thought I'd be here arguing for that? Sometimes, it's just When you know, you know. I was wrong before. This time, I'm sure. I'm not ignoring what my heart says.
Maybe someone can reach this kid. Certainly, I know I can't.
