In fiction, the body-swapping trope usually ends with both characters expanding their world view and gaining new appreciation for the struggles and troubles of the other. Unfortunately, those things that are so meaningful in fiction often end up rather lackluster and ultimately insignificant in real life situations. "There was no difference between

I have to say I find it comical that he graduated after this particular flood.

I find it comical that anyone here manages to graduate at all.

But that one goes without saying. Come on. What was dear Gellert here for anyway? Something that actually deserved a punishment?

Read back through his journal. He announced it at one point and asked for feedback.

...You're lucky I'm actually curious and willing to do that otherwise I would honestly have been miffed that you told me to do that.

In the grand scheme of things, I can think of a number of things worse than what he did. I mean really, just...this is insane. I said it once and I will say it again, the ones of us who are reasonably innocent don't deserve to be inmates.

[ ooc | god, so am i. and neither one of them are batting an eyelash at the bitchiness. ]

private-sorry couldn't write at the hour I was typing this lulz

Apologies, I had forgotten what reading his journal was like. [Gosh, so catty.] I was hoping you would be curious, though.

I've also said this before, but not to you. Many wardens here do not deserve their title, either. There are gray areas in between inmate and warden, and I was told, by a warden, which one you end up as can be random. I don't believe there's any definitive criteria that decides. Some wardens are here only to fulfill bargains, selfish bargains even. The world isn't always fair, but once you start throwing terms like "redemption" in, it's only reasonable to expect something a bit more thought out than this.

private- it's okay. the amount of times i edit on you makes it so i forgive you.

I've read better things from a 6th grader. [You can just hear the hissing.] You lucked out, Mr. Veidt. You should feel happy.

I've heard about that from one of them, Ruby, she used to know my friend when she was here, she basically informed me that some of the wardens could use time as inmates. Which is a somewhat terrifying thought, though, it reinforces the idea of there being a gray area between the two. Though...wouldn't technically all the deal by nature be selfish bargains. But you have a point, there seems to be a distinct lack of thought.

It will be a while before I am anything close to happy again. [THE DRAMA]

Debatable. Some bargains are made in order to protect loved ones. Either way, very few are here because they actually want to be, except perhaps one or two very special moral masochists.
