That's what I said.

[maybe the kid is now realizing how mean nehan is. and how much of a bully he enjoys being.]

[grice]

[ oh, ]

I thought I was a good student.

[torpour]

You take everything literally, don't you?

[grice]

[ ....OH??????? ohhh, he wants to hide his face now. good thing this is text. ]

It was a joke, right?
I'm joking!

[torpour]

Perhaps my first lesson should have been to bully you, to show exactly what I'm like.

[grice]

Shouldn't we call this teasing, sir?

[ BULLYING SOUNDS SO MEAN ]

[torpour]

Teasing implies a certain level of affection. I don't have that amount for anyone.

[except for... his boyfriend. and his son but the kid isn't here.]

[grice]

[ ……………that’s cold sensei 😭 ]

Okay.
Is this a lesson on professional detachment?

[torpour]

What makes you say that?

[grice]

The bullying. And that I have affection for people.

[ like, a lot. even strangers can’t escape. ]

[torpour]

No, it is not a lesson on professional detachment. My ability to detach from anything and everything is my own. This lesson on bullying is simply to instruct you on how I operate.

[grice]

Understood.
I'm glad I know, now.

[torpour]

Just don't take it too serious. You're far too young for that.

[grice]

Would it be joke bullying, then?

[torpour]

Take it how you will, as long as you don't take it so seriously. You'll know when I'm actually criticizing you, in any case.

[ well that is— kind, compared to cold! this really is helping him understand nehan just a little more beyond being a teacher. he's a tsundere! ]

I'm sure I'll be able to tell the difference! Thank you for for the opportunity to learn more about you, Mister Nehan.
