I understand that it might be a little difficult to handle given that it's only the first week back, but I can't be the only one appalled by the behaviour of the students, can I?

Honestly. It's gotten to the point where detention has become a joke and removing points is a formality. I actually have no idea how I'm meant to deal with the amount of misbehaviour going on when they won't listen to a word I say! A student went so far as to

[Actually. He doesn't really want to announce that.]

It's a little difficult to comprehend. Is there any advice anybody can give me, because I am at a loss here. I think perhaps it's time for a discussion amongst ourselves before things get even more out of hand.


We're much stronger as team than we are individually, in any case.

[In a way it's hard for Bro to keep eye contact with Murdoc as he's speaking. But in another way, it... makes it easier to keep going, because something about Murdoc is comforting. He isn't sure how or what- maybe it's the fact that he's looking at the only man who could possibly know how he feels. That alone is reassuring. But even if it's easier, it's still one of the hardest things that Bro's ever talked about.

There's a part of him that still can't believe he's talking about this. Not in a bad way, though. Because a part of him is glad to have someone that he can open up to. He's never really had anyone that he could do this with. It's... nice.]

I just... she was so fucking perfect. In every way. But I wasn't...I wasn't good enough. I was never good enough. She deserves somebody so much better. I don't deserve her.

[Oh no, he knows that attitude all too well. It seems so strange to hear it coming from another person and so hypocritical to want to reach out and shake him for being so damn stupid.

Instead, he's going to keep a fairly serene look on his face as he presses on with the conversation. Hypocritical as it may be, he hopes that if he can do this for Dirk then maybe Dirk can do the same for him some day.]

I don't know about that. [He smirks softly.] You're pretty damn endearin', even if you are an idiot. [He reaches out to push Dirk's glasses back toward him.] You need to stop hidin' behind excuses and admit that you were scared. Then you need to stop bein' afraid of what isn't and accept what is. Maybe after that you'll be ready for her, I'm sure she'd want you back.
