[the sound of Billy's front door closing, and a short sigh]

...Well.
I guess it lasted longer than I thought it would, at least.

[fridge door sound, hiss and pop of a can opening]

--Speaking of things that last longer than I thought it would...are we ever going back to the Castle?
Not that I'm eager to or anything, of course.

It's just that... well.

[staring forlornly at where a certain mad-scientist laboratory should be]

...Anyone else end up somewhere that is juuuust different enough from home to be really unsettling?

Hmm. How are you enjoying the 'normal' life, then?

It's ... passable, but lacking. I haven't had any real work yet.

Y'know...I was almost getting used to this teaching thing. It really didn't suck as much as I thought it was going to.

But...especially now that it's over because of my 'nonstandard curriculum and teaching methods' I realize I could never actually do this normal civilian thing.

Is this a 'once you've started you can't go back' thing?

... Because I think I'm beginning to know what that feels like.

The Accountant

That, or a 'was never meant for it in the first place' thing.

... Either way, at least now I know for sure.

I see. ... Well, for what it's worth? I'm sorry.

The Accountant

Eh, it's no big deal.

...

But, uh...thanks.
