[ Only fair. Quentin took him back to a sore spot too. ]
I went I had to see They want me to take charge of his punishment
Or he wants that, and they said sure why the fuck not
I think I can get them to restrain him for me and that's kind of it
It's okay I can figure it out, I just don't know why the fuck he wanted this He wants something out of it, I wanna give him as a little of THAT THING as I can
I can see how you'd think this would be a more appropriate, less stressful environment in which to learn a new skill
[ It's funny because Quentin's just return from the depths of despair. It's funny because that despair sent him slipping out of his own control and into literally monstrous transformation. It's funny because they're all capable of that at any time.
It's funny because Stephen has a monster in his head that will drive this place to eat itself whole, and all he did was take a walk in the woods. ]

You want to learn?

I tried to learn a hundred thousand times in the Fog, but I always got distracted

If you were willing, I promise I'm WAY better company now
