There is an accordingly longer delay before this reply, while Devin goes to a different room so he does not break the yimo with his bare hands. Almost ten minutes pass before he has wrestled back enough calm to answer her cutting words.

I am what I am.

Some day, Valdis, perhaps you will stop trying to motivate me so viciously. I don't suppose it occurred to you that I lack your perfect equanimity, or that my weakness and my selfishness might make me less than useless to X until I could look at him and not see what she did to me?

Or maybe it did, and you just don't give a damn. Next time, Valdis, all you have to do is bloody ask.

I will be there in an hour.
