[Callaghan knows they're messing with his head. but he also knows, deep down, that this isn't one of those. he knows that there's some nuances changing within him, he's finding it easier and easier to consider and commit things he never thought himself capable of, but he's not sure how much is outright himself and just given the opportunity and motive to do so-
