[ This was a ...sort of compliment, really. But now it makes sense, it makes horrible, terrible sense. ]
You mean like Rorschach's graduation giving me a lot of questions about just how one gets from breaking fingers in a stairwell to being a warden over a seventeen year old boy? [ He's a little snappy here, now. ] Look, I know. It know it's hard. But someone has to try. And keep trying. You don't just give up because it's hard.
You fail. You learn from your mistakes and you move on. You're a good guy! That's the point!
