Not really. Not when most of the gay kids Sitwell had met had a pretty solid grip on what energies they could and could not manifest. At best, it was just another piece of Mr. Kaplan's very curious genetic markers, if it meant anything at all in this conversation, or was even true or just a convenient excuse that Mr. Kaplan chose to settle on. As it was, it served as a convenient inspiration for Sitwell to ask, "Is that the only reason you think we're so different?"
This was another question that Sitwell made clear that Billy wasn't supposed to answer, but consider his words carefully. While he was doing that, Sitwell adjusted in his seat, redirecting the conversation since clearly this path was getting Mr. Kaplan agitated. "I want to do a kind of exercise with you," he announced. "There's no winning or right answer here, and it's very simple. I'm just going to give you a name, and you tell me what you know about that person. It can be any way you like; it can be a list of facts, or your relationship with them, or a specific memory, anything. We'll start off easy, you'll get the hang of it. Tell me about Billy."
