The Answer is Right in Front of You

But there are too many “if’s” in the equation, Myers. Like, the only ways I can see myself regretting it are IF I realize too late that they’re going to kill me; IF we have a surefire way home right now and nobody has told me; or maybe IF I get mind-trashed into somebody you guys don’t like and then later I somehow get turned back into who I am now. There’s no guarantee that any of those things will ever happen. Likely, I’ll just be a different version of me with no recollection of anything that has happened here, or during my previous life, or anything that happens to be making me miserable right now.

Bogus or not, my own personal regret is not something I give too much of a fuck about at the moment. You’ll have to do better than that to convince me otherwise, though I do greatly appreciate the attempt.

Tell me, Kyle, did you plead for someone to tell you that it was a terrible idea solely so that you could explain your reasoning for having a visit to the B Room? A cry for… attention in most cases, my notes say. I can see you now standing on a ledge, yelling “I’m going to do it! I’m going to do it if someone doesn’t stop me!” Just begging for someone to pull you back and comfort you.

It is really quite pitiful from an onlooker’s point of view, Broflovski! 8]

You really need your Stanley boy back for that comfort he provided, don’t you? Ha! Well, he has been replaced, and in case you have forgotten, I have the responsibility of keeping an eye on you. What I have to say is this:

 - Yes, it can be agreed that an alteration to your personality cannot be guaranteed, but there is a risk of it happening. Furthermore, as we have seen with Raven, that alteration may be more permanent than some. Your desire for a rendezvous with the detention center is bold, stupid, and selfish.

- “Selfish why?” you might be wondering. To that I will answer with a self-processing prompt that I hope will leave you questioning your motives and trying to understand your personal actions. Frankly, Broflovski, I think you might need to “look inside yourself,” as they say, more than anyone here. You see, Kyle, that daring nature of yours is a threat to the group as a whole. To intentionally experiment with the B Room can cause problems for other people. Surprising, wouldn’t you say?

Of course, it is hypocritical of me to tell another person that they are selfish and to think about the effects that their actions have on the people around them. Do I back down from my previous argument? Certainly not, because at the moment, by instructing you, Broflovski, to consider the causes and effects of what you are feigning to do, I am doing the rest of us a favor.

We have a task at hand in searching for a way out of here, and you are more valuable to our project than you may think. You are correct that the chances of escape are but a mere IF, but if there are hypothetical outcomes, or IFs, then we should aim for the positive outcome. The chances are slim, yet I am confident in our abilities that it is possible.

Still following? Good.

Now then. Get your head out of that depressing grey cloud and back into the game!

If I find that your irrational line of thinking fails to end, I will have to personally dispose of you under the pretense that “it is for your own good.” There are no IFs in my threats, Kyle. It is for the best that you obey.
