[ It's strange. Even in this situation, Inigo can still feel his heart swell at hearing Roland pay him those compliments. It's muted compared to the usual, considering the kind of topic they're talking about, but Inigo can feel it all the same. Believing those words to be true about himself though is an entirely different matter. Roland is right about that.

But thankfully he doesn't have to address that. Instead he can just listen to the rest of what the other says, even though his story baffles Inigo. He even has to sit down on the toilet - with the cover down, thank you very much - to fully take in the story. ]

You told yourself those kinds of things..? [ Inigo sounds baffled, like he can't wrap his head around it. Roland being bullied is one thing - it sucks, but sometimes you can't help it when others decide to pick on you, no matter how great you are. But.. how could Roland of all people repeat those words back to himself too? He's so great in every way. Not to mention he seems so much more outwardly confident than Inigo ever feels! ] But.. you don't do that anymore now though, do you..?

[ Roland has never seemed like him. Inigo hasn't thought of them as similar, just for that fundamental difference. Roland is confident and capable. Inigo is not. ]

Is it since you don't have to deal with those people anymore?
