Well, you've always been a very good friend to me. And I don't think you did that to avoid trouble. In fact, being a good friend to me has probably gotten you into more trouble and I am sorry about that.

I don't think it's like that at all. That would be like when I told Professor Donoghue and Professor Matteris that Gamzee had narcolepsy to keep them from taking house points from him. Because Gamzee always knew he didn't actually have narcolepsy, so it wasn't hurting him at all. Telling us that nothing happened while we were at camp would be like if I'd told Gamzee he did have narcolepsy. I'm not sure this analogy makes any sense.

In any case, I am taking Professor Wulfenbach's class, so that might help to make sense of this.
