"I appreciate you looking out for me," he says pleasantly, almost teasing. "I know that John isn't your favorite person."

"He isn't," Nana says. There's a moment as she takes a minute to put her thoughts in order.

"Everybody's got a role to play. It's got multiple aspects. Some of them we choose, some of them are innate to us. I can't play the role of a bird or a fish. You can try and modify it, of course. I could get a jetpack or scuba gear. But there's a difference between modifying it and trying to run away from it. John...he seems to completely ignore his assigned role."

He tuts softly. "That sounds like the old Nana talking," he tells her. "People don't play roles. They're people. And John is- his own person."

Nana shakes her head before pointing out, "Both can be the same. You're playing a role but you're also a person. You've just got to find a way to balance them out. And John...he tries too hard."

"I suppose it's easy to see that way." He shoves his hands in his pockets. "What role do I play?"

"Dozens of them," Nana shrugs. "Warden. Husband, soon enough. Human. Psychiatrist, though I don't know if you want to play that one or not."

"I - do. I still do. But the problem is making sure I find people who want to play the client, right?"

And not friend.
