Surely Luke is a jerk, and pretty good at it, too, but I think it could help sometimes to try to enlighten him about what he has been or is doing wrong and bring him on the right track instead of just being upset about him and ignoring him. I can’t say that I like him, but I can empathise with him getting frustrated, angry and contra-productive about everything as well as clinging to his old teacher who gave him the feeling of worth and appreciation.
