Action

Who's he to lay out the choices for you? No, this is just another way for you to hide. You can't stand to even choose the Factory on your own; you've gotta have somebody push you to it!

[He sighs, running a hand through his hair. Last chance, he's got one more course to take with Prefect before he's out of ideas for the day]

Prefect, look at me. I've been in your situation, you know. I had a home, I had a world I loved, that I fit into, and one day, just like that [He snaps his fingers] it was taken away from me. And I woke up somewhere strange, somewhere like another planet. And all I wanted... [He swallows] All I wanted was to go home. Be that man I was.

[He hesitates]

And... you know what? I did. [Nodding a little] I did make it back home, but nothing was right. I felt nothing. I was wrong, the whole of me just... didn't belong there anymore.

So...

I went to the roof, and I took a leap. I let go of... everything, and I jumped. I woke up, back in that strange place that felt like another bloody planet, and I felt alive again.

Sometimes, you... outgrow what you think is home. You spend so much time wanting it, but when you get back, it's not the same, doesn't even feel real. It's like a... dream.

[He looks down, mulling over what he'd just said, hoping some of it was getting through to Prefect. After a pause]

A barman once told me that... you know when you're alive, because you can feel. And you know when you're not, because you can't feel anything.

You're trying to make it so you can't feel anything, and he's pushing you down that path. So yeah, he is destroying you. You both are.
