"I have no idea if that's why I'm upset, because I have no idea what happened, Miriam! You're saying you did things too close to Her, so I just have to assume you were...were...letting people fuck me for pennies, or letting the biology class vivisect me, or working as a toilet in the men's room of Maldon station. You're talking about crossing lines; you don't know where the lines are or how they were drawn!"
Will was full-on shouting at this point, animatedly waving his arms around and pacing for emphasis, the other Wills cowering back some from him.
"And If I've blown up at you over Her, I am sorry, but I was tortured. For months! And made to love it. And made to hate loving it. And made to love hating loving it. Everything I was, everything I am was twisted, burnt, exposed and reconstituted at the whims of a madwoman who shares your face. For petty revenge, for...for sick perversions, for...just for the fucking hell of it; I don't know why, I can't justify it or make it make sense. So yeah! It was kind of a big deal. And when you imply that that can be...can be skimmed off like scum from the surface of a pond, so you can enjoy having an expensive dress which talks back is....is just...it's so far out of line it's in an entirely different queue."
He was in full throat now, not just yelling at Miriam but the whole world around him.
"And here I am, trying, once a-fucking-gain, to figure out how to do the impossible, only this time it's not just my future that's being jeopardized but everyone else on the mission, everyone else here at the school, quite possibly everyone else here in this dimension, if I can't figure out how to do something a billion times harder than anything I've done before; things that were only hypothesized by yet another villain I ended up at the beck and call of, and being taunted with things I can't remember is not exactly helping me reach my happy place!"
Will panted, legitimately out of breath, shaking from anger and tension, as his rant got away from him, saying more than he meant to say.
