[In all fairness, Ivan might also have passed something like that by back home. He was not someone who "rocked the boat" or rebelled in a way that would get him caught. He was clever and subtle and tried to avoid punishment at all costs. That and, things like that were just a part of every day life. Here though, he thought things would be different. There are no collars around their necks or guns pointed at them but they're no less captive than they were before.]

Depending? You're better than me. I don't think I would have before that happened. This place has a way of changing people, I think.
