A long-dormant conflict erupts violently between old friends. He shouts, the words like shards of glass in the silence: 'Because you always see them from the outside.' When you insist on clarity, he cuts back, his voice a venomous snap: 'It means… you're a fucking teacher. Grow up. Act like that, and nobody will stand you.'
