Andy was very smart but sneaky. Like, street smart, he didn't even take tertiary education. He won by a whisker in the competition by making the other candidate distracted by a couple ranting and raving about some news near the set. He knows how to utilize situations and people around him. However, he couldn't do anything when he faced the imminent accident in his car. Often our brain stops when we see an obvious impending situation. That urgency serves as a hinderance in part. He's now in hospital. The public room was pretty much an aggregate of janky things. The room was full of old peole, and they were so set in their ways, his attempt to manipulate their mind was like a water off duck's back. When I got to his hospital room, I could read him loud and clear. He was out to escape the room. That was not a spur of the moment decision.
