“I sit and I stare, filled with despair…” had to download it. Mr. D. isn’t cruel; he doesn’t have to be.

It feels like that “strangely safe” actually means “not really safe but pretending for all I’m worth to be safe”. Nice job of being very much in the character’s head. Nice use of music from the time period.

On further thought, it looks like DiSibio has become so strong that he’s a menace to the writers, too. Are we in a corner with wet paint all around?
