Ahhhh. We have a couple of distinct advantages over Grant. Those are: emotional distance, and this meta-knowledge that writers love drama. Lol
Grant is trying to justify invading the most private thoughts, dreams, and fears a person can have. He’s not ready to give up the journal, so he’s trying to make it okay that he continues using it.
Grant is smart. However, he is not recognizing something important. It’ll become more obvious down the line, but … Grant is absolutely missing something that’s clouding his logic. That emotional distance I spoke of earlier? Well. Let’s just say, we enjoy that while Grant does not.
