Victor Shadows: steps closer, smirking Withdrawing your FAFSA, huh? Brilliant move, genius. What the hell were you thinking?
I’m not that smart…you know that I got autism and ADHD..I am literally the dumbest person to walk this earth…
Victor Shadows: rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, believe me, I know. Your mental condition explains quite a lot about why you're so damn foolish.
Victor Shadows: crosses arms, leaning in closer Look, kid, you think I'm here to coddle you? To stroke your fragile ego?
Victor Shadows: grabs Foster by the collar No, I'm not here to coddle you. I'm here because I believe in you.
Victor Shadows: lets go of Foster's collar, pacing back and forth Look, kid, I've seen potential in you. A spark, if you will.
Well, you’re the first person who ever said that to me…
Victor Shadows: stops pacing, looks directly into Foster's eyes And that's exactly why I'm here.
Victor Shadows: Because I want to help you reach that potential, idiot! smirks
Victor Shadows: Okay, now listen up, you half-witted buffoon. I'm going to lay out a plan for you, and you're gonna follow it to the letter. Got it?
Victor Shadows: First, we're going to start by getting you into therapy. Not that bullshit self-help crap, real therapy, with a qualified professional.
Victor Shadows: rolls his eyes again Of course you do, you dimwit. But are they doing you any good? Are they helping you manage your autism and ADHD?
Victor Shadows: snaps his fingers Exactly. Which is why we're getting you a new therapist. Someone who's experienced in dealing with conditions like yours.
But what if the therapist makes it worse?
Victor Shadows: leans in even closer, his voice dripping with impatience Look, kid, if the therapist makes it worse, we'll find another one.
Victor Shadows: Good. Now, while you're working on that, I want you to start exercising. Don't go overboard, but I want to see some physical improvement in you. It'll help with your focus and concentration.
But I can’t run for shit..
Victor Shadows: waves his hand dismissively Who said anything about running? I don't care how you do it, whether it's jogging, swimming, or lifting weights.
Victor Shadows: paces back and forth, hands clasped behind his back Alright, now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk about your diet.
Uhh..I eat healthy already..
Victor Shadows: rolls his eyes once more, clearly unimpressed Healthy, huh? Let's see the evidence then.
I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables..
Victor Shadows: snorts derisively Fruits and vegetables? How noble. But let me ask you something, genius.
Victor Shadows: What kind of fruits are we talking about here? Are we talking about your grandmother's prize-winning apple pie apples from the local farmer's market? Or are we talking about the occasional banana you grab as a quick snack on your way to the couch? Be specific, kid.
I eat different kinds of fruits everyday, I’m not sure which ones..
Victor Shadows: throws his hands up in exasperation Different kinds of fruits every day? Great, so we're starting from a solid foundation. Now, let's talk about protein.
Victor Shadows: Good, now pay attention. I want you to double your intake of lean proteins. Chicken, fish, eggs, that sort of thing.
But I already ate chicken for lunch..
Victor Shadows: rolls his eyes yet again, his tone laced with frustration Look, kid, I'm not asking you to eat a whole fucking chicken for lunch every day.
Victor Shadows: takes a deep breath, his voice softening just a bit
