Someone asked me recently how I'd define moral and immoral, but I think my perspective's a little skewed. How do you define it?

I need to ask you for a favor. Do they have you listed as an adult here? I wasn't sure what your official age would be.

I think I have your software finished. I can send you the file to download and you can check if it needs troubleshooting.

Thanks.

I can do it. I'm used to being bait. If it comes up, let me know.

[Not that Cadel isn't scared. He swallows just typing that. But what else is he supposed to do with himself? For all Cadel legitimately enjoys a chance to go to college and be part of society - legally, no less - there exists in him this belief that when he's uniquely capable of doing something, he should do it. There's no sense letting someone else take on a greater risk when he's better at it. He's faced this situation so many times before. The only difference here is that it isn't Prosper, and therefore directly his responsibility, who's at fault. But he doesn't want to be that sort of person, who only helps when it's his fault. That's not that much better than not helping at all.]

Like you were challenging them? Figures. But they were probably doing something awful before you were around, just more quietly.
