Why this must be read: Lancer finding out that Danny Fenton is Danny Phantom is practically a genre in its own right, and this is one of the best examples of it. Lancer’s confusion, curiosity, and conflicted morals are perfectly blended, and this characterization of him has been very influential. The take on an older Danny is also excellently done, and, okay, characterization is excellent across the board.
“Okay, what’s on your mind Lancer?”
“What makes you think that there’s something on my mind?” Lancer shifted slightly under her scrutinizing gaze.
“Let’s see, you’re sitting here, not drinking your coffee, at a table you only use when you want to work something out in your head. Should I continue?”
“I think that covers it.” The teacher idly stirred his coffee while gathering his thoughts. “Do you know Danny Fenton?”
“I know him,” Kat’s face had gone blank. “He likes to sit at this very table and draw, has talent, by the way. The boy is head over heals for that Goth friend of his and wouldn’t know how to tell her if his life depended on it. Good kid, he’s helped me out a few times.”
“Yes, well, he’s a troublemaker at school. He’s always late, or skips class entirely. His grades aren’t what they should be, probably because he’s forever falling asleep in the classes he does go to, or running out during the middle of them. He’s been the cause of some considerable damage to school property over the last three years. . .”
Kat waited for the frustrated educator to run out of steam, “But?”
Lancer sighed, “But I feel like I’m missing something. For a long time I put it down to Danny just being problematic and doled out detentions appropriately. Lately though . . . I just ran into him, and you’re completely right, Danny is a good kid and none of this makes any sense. I admit that I get caught up in petty school politics sometimes, so I don’t always see what’s in front of me, but I like to think that I actually care about my students. Yet it took me three years to even realize something was wrong, and for the world of me I can’t figure out what it is or what I can do to help.”
