[Today, the Motorcycle Boy is signing with his hands, and translating after.]

I'd forgotten who I was back then. I wonder if we were supposed to be nostalgic after? That or very guilty, for who we were, or who we became.

What purpose does guilt serve, outside of societal control?

[That last part he had to finger spell, which was exhausting, so excuse him he's taking a smoke break.]

[More people using a language she knows! Esther signs back, speaking as she does just as she learned to do with Max.]

Guilt is just regret with self-loathing.

[Oh. Oh well, now he's awake, and he signs back (slower, making sure he has the signs right):]

Seems like most things people do is out of self-loathing.

[Esther isn't signing fast, but she's signing correctly. ASL is new for her, but spent her time with the Colemans immersed in it and practicing often.]

What do you mean?

[velocette]

[He doesn't know nearly enough sign language to keep going as he speaks, so he pauses, and shrugs.]

Well, what landed most people here? Inmates and Wardens I mean. Trying to change something, right?
