Whether you admit it or not, you always need help of some kind or another. I just can't figure out with what I need unless it's help with my sanity, but I'm not sure you want to tackle on that problem.

[ Ender's tone is light because if he doesn't make jokes about his issues, he'll probably let them swallow him whole. ]

I've been deprived of the opportunity to rely on people and get their assistance -- isolated for about five years. So it's something I'll have to work on, relying on people who aren't necessarily myself. Please bear with me in the meantime.

[ Especially since Ender can tell Bruce is pretty much the same way. ]
