Jayce claims to have sworn off this kind of thing, knowing the harm that he caused, but he likes it. He likes the attention and he likes the feeling of contributing to something greater, even if that something is a political body, rather than what's actually important. I've told him how wary this makes me, and he does it anyway, because he truly believes it's a path to do good.

[All of that comes out abruptly, like he's been holding it inside--mostly because he has. He immediately looks ashamed, like he shouldn't have said anything at all, and then his gaze drops to his hands.]

I'm sorry. I suppose all this talk of wind turbines is just a distraction.
