"David, Kyle wouldn't be disappointed in you," Jean-Paul replies, genuinely shocked.

Jean-Paul snorts. "Fucking telepaths are, unfortunately, pretty good at pointing out potential subconscious desires," he muses. "And I must say I am rather disturbed to hear you say having feelings makes you a 'bad person.'"

Jean-Paul tugs David along the ice just a little faster. "You are. And you aren't. I know you've felt it, you've had the knowledge, but it's not the same as living it, David. I know that's going to piss you off, but it's true. And you can't use other people's fuckups to hurt yourself, mon ami. It's stupid."
