You did read it, right? The Civil War had just ended, there were a lot of people on the losing side still angry.

[ Tim just settles, unpinning, but still sitting on him. Really regular behavior and not at all an indication that he’s getting way too comfortable here. ]

People like to think history is objective, but it isn’t. Not everyone gets the opportunity to tell their story, every writer has a point of view of their own, even when they have all the primary sources in the world. Sure, certain events did objectively happen, but you can contextualize it a bunch of different ways.

[ A beat. ]

Not to defend the slaveowners, obviously. But if they’d won, the tone of that book would be completely different, even the parts before the war.

In a perfect world, maybe.

[ Koby this is why you're even more baby than Tim. ]

Don't even tell me what that is. I don't want to know. The snail thing is weird enough.

[ Alright, that's enough wiggling around on each other for now. Tim scoots himself off, and gives Quentin's leg a pat too, on his way off the bed. ]

I'm going to the chapel. Let me know when you tell him.
