That's a pretty big if.
This whole time, you've planned things out on the assumption you're going to be right. That's a dangerous thing to do. Things have already gone wrong. It was harmless, this time.
I know you also don't care because you've never had to. After all, you're smarter than everyone. Everyone's just a bunch of actions and reactions, and if you guess which node they'll flip you can be ready with another. People, computers, machines, whatever.

"If you are attempting to 'get through to me' or 'pierce my defenses,' as it were, then know this - I have heard this same tirade a dozen different times from a dozens different 'professionals.' Each far more qualified to psychoanalyze my actions than you, Mr. Strife. Some I've even sent babbling off to their own psych wards. Yes, my decisions are made with the assumption that I will be right but that is merely because, historically, I have been. And on the rare occasion I am not, I adapt to the changing circumstances to put things back on course. I accept your apology, Mr. Strife but do not attempt to lecture me. Greater men than you have tried."
-...That sounded kind of final for this discussion-

Can't say I know him. Or most of the rest of the people here.
Either way, though, I'm sure you'll find them. They can't have run off.
