If he was already difficult before the head injury, the injury just removed the last brake.And you can't reason with it. You can't shame it into stopping. The mechanism that would allow him to read the room and adjust is just — gone. So he talks for an hour and a half and doesn't notice you're trying to work and doesn't notice the effect he's having on anyone around him.That's exhausting in a specific way.

Haven't looked it once, since I graduated, it seems like a waste of space to keep the both.
