I really do hope that liking the majority of people here is not a requirement of graduation.

Because you are a very difficult group to like. You complain and insult for little to no reason. You threaten and murder - or are hypocrital by threatening and then not following through. Cowardly, I will add to that in those cases. You ignore some things that may be of importance yet jump all over certain other things that essentially should be ignored.

I am speaking about both inmates and wardens here. The vast majority, anyhow - not every single one of you. There are a few exceptions but they are very few.

It is not surprising that there are very few graduations, considering most inmates have no wish to and so do not even attempt to be better people and most of the wardens do not care less about those in their care. An occasional punishment once your inmate has slaughtered multiple people is hardly keeping a decent watch on the situation.

I am honestly tired of the pettiness displayed here. I can understand inmates being stubborn and thinking they are right all the time but wardens should set better examples and do what they are here to do. Or they should leave.

Most of you are bringing about your own misery.

And truly, if you do wish to remain here then you could at least stop complaining.

One of the Doctors was very helpful early on. We had some good discussions.

See? And I'm sure there are others, too.

Like I said, this doesn't apply to everyone here. But there is a lot of negativity around.

I do like that you are so optimistic.

Well, yes. It helps when you look at the other stuff, too, though.

How old are you?

Seventeen, why?

I was much more optimistic at your age too. Not that I ever truly lost that, but...

Unfortunately I was also very careless at that age and I made a grave mistake that I'm paying for to this day.

I did something very careless before I came here, too...though it was quite different from your own.

Obviously it was something ultimately good though. Or else you would be an inmate, not a warden.

Oh, it was. I was trying to save Earth, only I didn't realize that I'd already done what I needed to, so I didn't get on the escape pod and so...well, I ended up here.

Very noble indeed.

Do you believe me when I say I did not do what I did with bad intentions for the world at large?

Well, yes. I just think you underestimated non-magical people when you thought that wizards would have to rule over them.

That would have been likely only a temporary measure. Only until they realised that we were not be be put down or used like lesser beings ourselves.

I don't think it was a very wise temporary measure. It seems like the sort of thing that would make them be more trouble to you than if you'd just had faith in them. I've seen what non magical people do when a group that seems more powerful tries to rule over them, you know.

I was about your age when I made these plans. I guess I never really grew out of the idea.

But I'd do things differently if I had the chance again - however, I do not want that. I just want to move on.

Move on?

I mean when I graduate. I do not want my life to be restored.

Why not?

Because I want to move on to where I should have been if I hadn't been brought here. Do you believe in some kind of afterlife, Adric?

I suppose. I mean, I believe in the Barge, but I never really thought of a possibility of an afterlife before here, so...I don't know.

There are ghosts in my world. They have not moved on, mostly because they are fearful, but I do believe that there are other forms of life beyond death. And I think that, if I graduate from here, I will get there. To a better place, perhaps.

...I'd probably be a ghost in your world. I don't know if my universe has ghosts.

Do you fear dying?

Yes.

You shouldn't but at your age you deserve to have more time, so I do hope you get your own life properly restored at some point. It wouldn't be very fair otherwise.
