[ His mouth pulls back into a line, almost an apologetic smile. He knows that this is annoying, but it's what he's got.
He decides to swerve a bit for something most people find more straight-forward. Not any less honest but focused more specifically on him. ]
Me, it was all my condition. All doctors and what I can handle and what I couldn't. It ruined my father's life, it ruined my life. I struggled under it, until I finally found something I could do for work. Then I only had that for a couple of years until someone-- Jack- found a way to exploit it. And then it ruined me all over again. And took a bunch of people with it, this time.
But in that ruination, I found a way to struggle free. It doesn't have to be something that only hurts, me and others. I can tame it, I can aim it. It's mine.
So now- I can do what I want. I finally have some agency in my life...now that I'm dead.
