Everest
Trying to read his friend's tone, something he's notoriously bad at even when it comes to Mateo, Everest frowns at the silence that stretches between the two of them before mirroring Mateo's actions and dunking his bread into his soup.
"I don't know how to answer that." Everest admits after a long moment of staring blankly down into his soup. "People like democracy because we think that whatever appeals to the most amount of people is what's best." He begins, and though this seems totally off-topic, worry not. A point is coming. "And what most people are like, is not at all what I'm like, so in that regard it seems like there is grounds to say that what I am like is wrong and what they are like is right and so that's what I should strive toward." Picking up his spoon, he rescues the piece of bread that he'd put in lest it become any more soggy.
"Another way to put it is that life might be easier for me if I were like other people. I wouldn't have failed my exam, and I wouldn't develop hives when people stand too close to me in a queue."

I've done the math, checked the facts
And there's no changing that
And there's no changing that
