[ he shrugs. ] Well... Maybe you wouldn't. It could've just been me! But I... Hm.
[ what was it exactly that irritated him about the way they cared sometimes... the same reason he gets angry when people tread lightly around him, maybe. when people treat him like a ticking time bomb. he wants to shout at them that yes, he's dangerous, he knows he's dangerous and unstable and he can't help that, but treating him that way all the time isn't helping either. like— like trying to solve the problem without knowing the cause. ]
They don't understand, but sometimes they still pretend to, or they think they do. They... feel bad. [ Waver had said it once. it had been during an argument, but it had stuck, grating against Jack's mind with every pitying look. ] But they don't know how bad it actually is. Nobody wants to think about what's actually happened to you.
[ maybe he's being unfair. but that's how it feels. ]
It drove me crazy when I first got to Union, not having anyone like me around. People just cannot understand, no matter how much you try to explain it - and I know, duh, that's not their fault, but I got pretty angry about it sometimes.
