22. Medieval times? Where he could just give up all his craziness and it might not matter?
23. Not by nature.
24. It's horrible given his family history, but John could really use a nice telepathic girl who's a little wild and a little crazy herself who could be understanding and taken him in and perhaps lighten the mental load for him. He doesn't need someone to take care of him, just someone to stand next to him and help. Someone he could help in return and feel useful and a part of something greater than his messy existence.
25. John's hands are kind of gnarly, no callouses or cuts but really knuckly with thick, yellowed nails that look like someone took a belt sander to them (and often he does to keep them from getting long and claw like).
BOOOONUS! John doesn't have a house! He has a room at the school that looks like a tornado hit it, with laundry everywhere, posters propped up against the wall where he might have hung them at one point, those cheap dorm light stands, dishes on top of the TV, most everything is second hand and duct taped together.
