You read a lot about people who are mean to people because they don't know how else to talk to them? That's weirdly specific, man. You gotta broaden your hobbies.

( Yeah, Chris doesn't know enough about doctors and degrees to catch Bruce in anything substantial, but he does mean it as a compliment. Bruce seems really good at picking people apart. Sort of like his father, but without exclusively targeting Chris's insecurities, fears, and regrets.

Chris likes this guy. He feels like home. )

You played D&D? Did you fuck imaginary bitches with your imaginary troll-elves?
