"I think…" Nancy began. "That you're being a little hard on him."

Debbie snorted. "A puppet like you would say that."

"I'm not a puppet," Nancy sighed. "Now will you listen please?"

Debbie huffed. "Fine. But I don't trust you."

I'm not asking you too. "Scott's not evil," Nancy went on. "He's just… misunderstood."

"Misunderstood my ass."

"That's not nice," Nancy mumbled. Then louder, "At least I don't think he's evil. I just don't think he knows how to deal with other people."

"So he's a sociopath?"

Nancy considered this. "Basically yes."

Debbie looked thoughtful. "That… would explain some things."
