displacement of reasoning

Good night!

What did you do?
Gave him a nightmare
I can't believe you, now they won't listen to me
Oh, well, maybe that's for the best
What are you talking about?
You were really going to force him to make the biggest decision of his entire life
One that would impact every single part of his existence, without even consulting with me?
Well you would, you would shut it down
Of course I would shut it down, do you know how stupid an idea that is?
This isn't working
No, it's not
