Not exactly.

[but Phillip isn't really sure how to articulate it so he leaves it there.

He leans back a little in the chair, mulling over the question for a moment. It's a fair one, considering the conversation.] ...No. It doesn't.

[The revival itself does, a little, but that almost seems to be entirely separate from Gansey. If he handled it differently, it might also trouble him. But he's not going to have a hard time being around the other boy or anything.]

[he won't mention anything about how he came to befriend the person that ended up dying on the let line that day. Not yet.]

Tell me why this person in particular seems to have you so incensed, [he asks bringing the focus back to Phillip.]

[whatsina_name]

Well his introduction to me was to push someone I was talking to out of the way so he could try and hit on me.

[And while Phillip appreciates other people being forward, that was just rude.]

He just... had this air of entitlement about him. Like whatever he did was justified, like as long as he did it it was fine because clearly he deserved it. He said as much, said he was owed his life back.

[Well that sounds unpleasant.]

You don't have to interact with him anymore, do you? Who was this individual?

[Gansey would rather know who this is. He sounds potentially interesting.]

[whatsina_name]

His name's Lucio. Avoid him, if you can. Apparently he's got a habit of making the life of everyone around him miserable.

[disentombs]

On purpose or by virtue of his character?

[whatsina_name]

I'm genuinely not sure. I think the second one, from what I've heard.
