One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?
Evan put his glasses back on, and his eyes returned to 'normal', and his ears disappeared. He then nodded again, before slightly leaning back in the chair he was sitting in, and raising a hand up a little.
"I'm not going to sit here and tell you to forget your warren. To forget about the people that call you a freak. Or the people that never believe you exist. You seem like you know that already, and you're good at it, until you're not." he reasoned. "Life is hard for one that can truly be called 'unique'." he said further.
"And I'm sure you already know that your life could be so much worse and all that perspective blah-blah-blah." he went on, sounding more and more like someone that actually 'got her', as far as a professional shrink went, anyway.
"But I DON'T know how you assert yourself." he then admitted. "You are an individual, and you deserve the same accordance as any other person here. Or anywhere else." he said. "Anyone that would think less of you because of who you are or what you are, deserves to be put in their place." he continued.
"No, I don't mean the cliché of 'living well is the best revenge', though that IS solid advice." he quickly said. "However, if you are holding back smaller outbursts for fear of repercussions, don't." he told her. "From what I know, this place is run by some very understand people. Or... well, to be more specific, the one atop it all." he clarified with a small laugh.
"If people are going to call you a freak or act like you don't exist, or look down on you, then let them know that you are here to stay, and make sure they know you're not going away. You deserve to be treated with respect, and if they don't like it, then you can raise a ruckus for them until they try and take action, and have the consequences fall RIGHT back on them." he went on, getting a little on the passionate side near the end... before he stopped and cleared his throat lightly.
"Sorry, was getting a bit carried away there." he admitted, a slight hint of sheepishness to his tone.
Why can't I just be
The one
For once!?
