[ .. wait, hold on.

This is so much all of a sudden, and that's before Daniel even reads the last part. First of all there's the elephant in the room of how awful it is that someone as young as Paul truly thinks he has to take responsibility for the actions of adults, rather than the other way around. Yes, Daniel gets that this is probably how things happen in Paul's world, but that doesn't make it right for that sort of responsibility to be placed on the shoulders of someone so young, let alone for Paul to carry it even into this place.

Then there's the instant question of oh god, does Johnny even know this? Because Daniel has no idea. He figures not, because surely even Johnny freaking Lawrence would act a little more reasonable if he knew that Paul would feel responsible for his actions-- and does that mean Daniel should tell him, since Johnny would never figure it out himself? Should he have conversations with that man about both his sons?!

And then there's finally that really, really obvious implication in what the other is writing that Paul's parents aren't alive anymore. Or that he's at least lost one parent. After all, why else would a teenager be walking around calling himself a duke?

The implications of this all are so much, enough to make Daniel's head spin, every single worry sensor in his head going off, creating pure chaos. ]
