Re: [Endgame]
I listened to you on the first two points, didn't I? I haven't gone near Lepus or Canis since then. But-- I want you to understand, too. I had my whole life dictated out to me, Scowl-- from birth to death, with no choice in the matter. Told who I had to be, who I could and couldn't make friends with, who I had to marry, what job I was going to do when I graduated, what clothes I had to wear, what hobbies I had to have-- I'm really... I'm sick of it. This is the first time I've ever had the freedom to make my own decisions. And maybe they're bad decisions! But you have to let me make them! Or I'm only going to continue to be some naive kid who's been sheltered all his life by others...
I just... I've listened to you about everyone else. I just want the freedom to choose this one friend you dislike. I don't expect you to trust me, or to like him, but...
