Nicholas still gets to be an asshole.

"I get to continue being a asshole."

"You do?"

"Yes."

"OK."

"It's just my actions have change. I swapped everything out, but I have kept my personality. I get to still be gruff. I can still be cold and quiet."

"OK."

"It's just my actions are now reversed. They are habit forming just like when they were assholian.  I am compassionate and loving. These are my only actions. Everything else I have to keep barricaded in my head until I can forgive that shit. I can keep that to myself.

"Being an asshole."

"Yes. I can only be a little agressive when someone tries to strong arm the truth from someone else who is willing to digest it. It is not personal. Even though my mind is racing to attack them with a large piece of wood. My actions are to protect truth and in the end. I still get to be myself."

"Interesting."

"Is it?"

"Yes."

"I get to stay familiar with a whole new system in place."

"I am thankful for that."

"Are you?"

"Yes."
