"I suppose." He doesn't not want to graduate. It just doesn't feel real, doesn't feel like an actual option, even though he's seen others posting about it when it happens.

But. Maybe the question isn't inaccurate in its premise. Graduation feels like a different kind of obedience. It doesn't feel like something that ends this new limbo. Just moves him to a different stage of the program.

Too bad he can't! Say! Any of that!

Fucking irritating.

The irritation even shows, in the way he bites his lips together briefly and exhales through his nose.
