You try so hard to be a rebel.

It's kind of cute, the way you

Rage against authority

And then come running to me

To check my reaction.

When you're practically rabid with your

"justified outrage" and "rational expectations"

You surprise me.

"Help me change this. You're a protestor.

I need you."

I don't know when I became the expert

On uprising,

So I don't know what to say.

"Ethan,

It's not my fight.

I can't tell you anything but

Keep trying."

This is not what you want to hear.

"But… they listen to you."

No. I had my fights but I'm

Satisfied now. I got my change.

Why cause more trouble when

You see nothing wrong?
