He made a math workbook for us to go through together, or whatever. [ which seems like a weird activity, maybe, but dave has always liked math and john probably knows that. this seems innocuous enough? ] And then apparently destroyed his memories of all the problems?
[ dave decides not to append his own opinion to this, simply staring at john to see if the latter half of the explanation gets any reaction. to see if it gets dave's reaction, specifically, and to gauge exactly what he should be feeling.
