Roman thinks that it is an external battle, that it's the terror of night and the sleepy town. Learning to fight would take both. And getting sweat and blood into it would ensure success verses this stillness. That only makes him feel more agitated beneath his skin. Roman does stupid things when he's bored.

"I won't have to go to school today or tomorrow," again with the negatives what is there to be worried about? He really hasn't committed any concern to his displacement. Free coffee and sass on tap and he can walk around and smoke. And maybe, just maybe, for two seconds can be defined by how he behaves as a person not as rich people spawn. Roman follows Verity, resisting the urge to light up just because he can.

"....you're not a teacher are you?"
