Does it matter? 

[notrosecolored]

To whether I'm going to take your students? No.
To me? Yes.

[fortitudosalutis]

Then sure

You in one piece? 

[notrosecolored]

Yep. This was a Tuesday.

[fortitudosalutis]

These things happen. They’re not creative
I’ll let you know when I can take the students back  

[ There’s a short pause. A bit more of the truth than he usually gives. ]

I’m not good around other people right now  

[notrosecolored]

You don't have to be. I'll handle the students as long as you need me to.

But how 'not good' around other people is not good?

[fortitudosalutis]

I was good around strangers for a while
And now I’m not  

[ That tends to go out the window when you start hallucinating. ]

Carver, I'm not going to judge you or try to fix you with warm and fuzzy platitudes. What's going on?

[fortitudosalutis]

I’m hallucinating. It happens sometimes. It’ll pass. I know it’s not real so you can skip whatever the fuck you were going to say 

[notrosecolored]

I just said I wasn't going to be a patronizing dick about it and I'm not. All I'm going to say is that sucks, you're right - it will pass - I'll handle the students, let me know when you're ready to get back to it and if you need some kind of delivery to avoid going out.
