A built in power differential.

He didn’t like the main character of GC, because she ‘didn’t do what she was told’.

I’m having the worst time reconciling how he *talks* about things, how he *describes* them, versus how he actually *behaves* when we’re together. It’s like two entirely different people, almost.
