I&#8217;m actually pretty terrible. I can be a right prick.<br>Z: Well, you are actually very good and besides, you aren&#8217;t as terrible as I am.<br>Y: I am. I will show you one day but I hope I never do.<br>Z: I can&#8217;t imagine it.

Maybe there&#8217;s nothing wrong with being traumatised?<br>Z: Nothing apart from the trauma, the lifetime of pain, and the flashbacks. No there obviously nothing wrong it. <br>Y: Let me rephrase that&#8230;<br>Z: You just like me being traumatised.
