"I'm not sure what I have to say will be received well," he said quietly, but she was giving him the chance to do this. He took a sip of his new drink, wishing both that there was more alcohol and less alcohol at the same time.

He looked down. "I'm guessing, seeing as you were still in school, you're likely between 16 and 18." None of that really had much real meaning, he supposed...outwardly, anyway. He closed his eyes, taking a drink first before speaking. "I don't know you that well, but I have to say that that man you all followed about was...well, he wasn't stupid, but he was fucked in the head. Completely." There was a brief pause before he continued. "Which, little as I know most of your friends...or whatever you call them, makes me want to think you're all a bit fucked in the head for going with him. Now, you seem a bit sensible when you actually think for yourself, but it's a bit ridiculous to go about letting everyone else think and speak for you. If you do that, you'll end up married to someone with a butt for a face because it'll be beneficial to you. One day, you just have to realise that doing everything because someone else says it's what you're supposed to want to do and being perfectly okay with that is going to get you even more fucked than not. Yes, you're going to make mistakes and fuck up and be a total idiot sometimes...but then you know you had the bollocks to do something because you wanted to."

He waved his hand vaguely at some thought in his mind. "Anyway, if you're doing all of this because that's what you want to do...and you want to take the time to make amends even just to yourself for what's happened, that's aces. Fucking brilliant. I know telling you that you should think for yourself sounds a lot like what I'm telling you not to do...in a way. It's all a bit topsy turvy. Anyway. Even if you thinking for yourself means you disagree with me, you should do it." He shrugged a little. "Because if you still want to go back to everything before and being a puppet, I might stick a fork in your eye."

That sounded a bit more...well, he'd not intended to say 'fuck' so many times. "And...yes. There. That's...a good portion of it."
