[for a long time, there was a peaceful quiet in the library as a young man poured over his book, occasionally scribbling out notes to himself. This began a progressive decay as frustration and confusion warred over his face. Eventually, like a too tight rubberband, he snapped.]

DAMN IT!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY!! YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT ADD

Ah...

Would you like some help?

[touch_sensitive]

Yes! But only if it involves a lighter.

[dr_mcdere]

*coming to sit down next to him*

You'll set off the fire alarm.

[touch_sensitive]

It'd be worth it.

[dr_mcdere]

You'd probably get attacked by the biting books.

Can I see what you're working on?

[touch_sensitive]

[pushes his notes across the table at him]

It's stupid and makes no sense, but mostly it's just stupid.

[dr_mcdere]

*starts looking them over*

Why are you studying this?

[touch_sensitive]

Th-that doesn't really matter, does it?

[dr_mcdere]

Not really, I'm just curious. Are you confused about these formulas in particular or the concept overall?

[touch_sensitive]

Both.

[dr_mcdere]

Ah, all right.

*this is an explanation of the basic principles that I am too lazy to actually think of :|*

[... not clicking... at all]

[dr_mcdere]

...What was the last part you really understood?

[touch_sensitive]

I guess angles and triangles. The A squared plus B squared equals C squared stuff.

*gets up to go pick up the text book and flip through it for that section*

It sounds like you've been covering a lot of ground all at once. It might help to go a little slower.

... It's not like I'm going to be here forever, and it's the best chance I have to do this. Once I go back home, I'm going to have to worry about paying for rent and food. I won't have time for stuff like this.
