Dismantling

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days. The nearby stables are still maintained with a number of well-heeled equines.

Dismantling

In the little side garage off the carpark, Tereza is currently leafing through a book, comparing the diagrams in it to the beaten up motorcycle that leans hard on its kickstand in front of her. She frowns and then sets the book aside, starting to take the parts off the bike.

There was the sound of rapid breath intaking behind her. "Be a little delicate with that one; he looks old."

Tereza takes a deep sniff, trying to pick up the scent of the newcomer over the scent of old bike parts. "Most of the parts on this are junk."

"That's the general plan, but I'm probably going to have to replace some of it. It's sort of a long term project." She frowns at a particularly stubborn bolt.

"On the other hand, if it wasn't busted up like this, I would never have been able to afford it, so there are trade-offs." The bolt finally gives and she takes the part off.

"Yeah, don't hold your breath," Will sighed. "They're more interested in what the stuff is doing to me, and what the possible repercussions are if it's left here, than actually making sure I'm better."

He walked over and leaned one hand on the seat of the bike. "They still want the me from before I came here, and I'm just not fully that person anymore."

Will shrugged. "I don't know. It used to be a lot simpler, before Sam opened my mind. Easier to be this guy," he said, patting the seat of the motorcycle. "A clear purpose, a full tank of gas, a pretty girl wrapped around your frame... sometimes, life's too complicated."

"I suppose I could," he said, taking his hand off the engine.

"I suppose I don't really want that, though, do I? It'd be throwing away who I am just to try to please others. And not even all others. Plus, it'd be....running away. I don't like the idea of running away.

I'm sure I'll be fine in a couple days when everyone leaves and things slowly trickle back to normal...just, you know. Bad memories. Life being complex, when I want it to be simple."

Tereza nods, "I can certainly understand the 'wanting things to be simple' part." She gets up and grabs another wrench, offering it to him. "When that gets to be too much, I try to focus on things that *are* simple."
