second time around? not a clue why.

there was a lot of toxic clique behavior aimed at staff around the time of damien's resignation (there still is, but it was worse then), and damien was an easy target due to his age and history
while it's still a concern that damien might resign again for similar reasons or still react poorly to instigators, and full maturity obviously doesn't happen the instant someone turns 18, these sort of things are easier to deal with as you mature, along with learning better general judgement and responsibility

but I feel like we should take Damien seriously.

no we shouldn't
