"So, let's go over it again. Why would someone build a bomb that was not designed to go off? What would be the point?" Boyd asks running his hands through his hair.
"It's just a sense of accomplishment, a sense of honour. Bomb builders have a lot of pride in their work. They each have a signature. If the bomb didn't go off it wasn't supposed to go off. Bomb makers are specific in what they want to do with each device. This is someone who can make a bomb go off or not on a whim and for some unknown reason this one was never meant to do any damage." Grace throws out a whole of information for Boyd.
"That actually makes sense." Boyd says frowning. "It actually worries me that a lot of what you said applies to me, too."
"A lot of descriptions are so general that they fit a lot of different people. I wouldn't panic. We all fall along several spectrums." Grace says gently.
"Remarkably that doesn't make me feel any better, Grace. That's not exactly what I wanted to hear." Boyd grumbles at Grace.
"Trust me Boyd. I know these things. I've taken every psychological test known to man. I know I fall on the OCD spectrum and the anti-social spectrum. It's what makes us different as people." Grace teases Boyd.
"So what makes us different from each other is our degrees of weirdness, not our degree of morality or anything." Boyd frowns.
"Oh Boyd, you're not actually that determined to see the good in people. You're just trying to see the best in yourself." Grace smiles at Boyd.
"Well, no one likes to look at the negative aspects of themselves, Grace. I'm well aware that there are parts of every person that aren't good and I have more than my fair share, but we don't like to be reminded of them constantly." Boyd teases Grace.
"Self-awareness is important, Boyd, without it we'd be a lot worse off." Grace says plainly.
"Self-awareness can also be a dangerous thing. People who have too much self-awareness and find too many negative things can become depressed." Boyd states.
