[recollecters]

Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

Indeed so.

[Looks like it's back to Ardyn being Ardyn again.]

And yet we've looped back around to my original question. That being why you think I wouldn't be a good politician, Togusa.

It's that desire for freedom. You don't suffer fools, and that's half the job of a politician.

You've also got a lot more trust over your own morality. You can trust in your interpretation of the law to make the judgement calls you need to. Some of that comes from your experience, but I'm betting some of it is the confidence to make a call that's not just based on precedent.

You're partly right at least. Several years ago, I would have said nearly completely correct.

But now, Togusa, I teach. Interpretation only stretches as far as the how's and why's of the cases my students have to recite back to me every morning. It's up to me to make sure that they learn how to parse what I tell them.

So, for the obvious follow-up question, why did you switch to teaching? You're very good at it. But do you get the same kind of fulfillment out of it that you did during active practice?
