Twice told still the same

Blue
He is young and angry. He is belligerent and argumentative. I am not irritated. I am merely . . . unsettled by his emotional reaction to a logical investigation.  He violated the academic code. I am in the right to question his actions. It is the correct response to this situation.
I cannot categorize my feelings on this matter. He . . . confuses me. I do not li--It does not please me. I do not approve of him. I will not serve with him. He must be removed.
His actions were not logical, but they have been most effective. I may . . . revise my opinion of him.
I accept.

Green-brown
We are of an age, this man and I. He is decisive and intelligent. He is warm. I do not understand his insistence on familiarity. Offers of friendship are not often given . . . to me. It would be inappropriate to address him informally.
We play games of chess. His smile confuses me. I am unable to ascertain the nature of my feelings. He is my superior. This can go no farther.
I told him my most personal truth. He saved my life. I may acquiesce to his request, on occasion.
Jim.
