Adam
You took notes on what you had to do
To get the piece of the pie that belonged to you
"Oh, but I'm really cool. For real, I even have friends that hang out with Safrin and shit." Saying that immediately took his mind to Amalia, but with a discipline he'd had to learn over the last years, Adam drew himself out of that particular spiral. He could have that crisis later - right now he was trying to mend the schism in society, which he was obviously qualified to do.
Taking a couple of steps back and sitting down, making it absolutely clear he wasn't a threat, Adam gestured to the space in front of him. "Look, the worst that's gonna happen is that you don't like what I have to say, right? We both know I can't go into the sunshine there. If you really hate me you can drag me out into the light and fry me to a crisp." He punctuated this suggestion with a bright smile and a wink.
You've been waiting for this ever since you were young
Be careful not to choke on your tongue
