Hello. Does this go on for long?: No, you actually start college next year. Trinity and all.
That'll be nice.: Yeah, sort of. You know how you don't have to try real hard at this stuff? That'll change.
I'm certain I'll do okay.: Yeah, you are, aren't you? Come here so I can look at you.
What are you looking for?: Certainty. I'm running low these days.
What? How? It's not difficult to be certain, you see the right thing and you do it. It's central to what we are!: Not so much these days.
What do you have if you're not certain?: Something else, something better.
What?: ... I don't know, I can't really explain.
You can't explain because it doesn't exist! You're making it up to pretend that it's good because it's all that you've got!: No!
: ..Maybe.
Anything else?: Dad gets sick in four years time. He gets better and then after another five years he doesn't.
So I should be nice to him for that time?: No, you'll be giving him a lot of grief, the usual teenage stuff. You have plenty of time to make things right before the end.
So why are you telling me this, then?: You pissed me off.
