[Walter has recorded a video message from the point of view of someone who has just come through the door into his cabin and sees Walter at his desk in the chair turned around to face the viewer. He gives a little salute-wave.]

"Oh, so? How humble of him, to admit to something like that." [/s]

Different, Mr Tattersall says. Sebastian most assuredly does not want to talk about it. His warden has had to corner him and drag the talking out of him for any talking to happen.

But... hrm. He does recognise the unspoken exclusive club invitation. It doesn't interest Sebastian, but Mr Cho does keep insisting that Sebastian play nice with the other children*. Make meaningful connections, etcetera etcetera.

"Oh? I suppose that could be helpful, if you would have me. I would be grateful."

"Great!" Walter says. "I was thinking theme for the next meeting would be guests from backgrounds super exotic compared to my own more mundane one, where the movie would kinda. Show off how our little lives work. So, you're a perfect fit! Welcome aboard."

He knows he's being obsequious. That's okay. Go ahead and underestimate him.
