   Summary

   "...only when you understand that Newton is nothing if not a Tasmanian Devil of self-destruction, childish impulses, and volatile defiance, that you will truly see that everything Hermann has done up until this point, is entirely necessary, and wholely rational."

   //

   Seeing his lab partner die or fall under enemy control repeatedly will surely have no undesirable affects on Hermann's mental health.
