Quentin, however, is an absolute enigma to Professor Sunderland.
Even the dead at Brakebills are as moody as the students.
(More on that in a bit.)

Emily had fallen in love with a married professor, who eventually put an end to their affair.
Her attempts left her face disfigured, and Emily was so horrified that she considered jumping into the fountain.
Quentin returns from his excursion with Eliot to find Alice determining ways to bring Charlie back.
He accompanies her to the fountain where she calls out to her brothers spirit.
To anyone who isnt Alice, this being before them is quite clearly not fully her brother.
Shocks of electric blue flames course through its body, and his voice echoes with an otherworldly darkness.
(This is the second time poor Quentin has been thrown through the air.)
James notices she continues to be distant around him.
As they pick out apartments for their time at Yale, she can barely give him an acknowledging nod.
Marina tells her that shes treating James like a safety net in case this magical pursuit fails.
Julia is tested again by her outside life when Quentin unexpectedly appears at Marinas bodega.
He and Eliot have come on the hunt for a missing book.
The two have found the book via its partner, the literal volume two to the missing volume one.
The reunion between Julia and Quentin is much less joyous but perhaps even more emotional.
She came to realize that he never followed her request to ask the school to take her back.
(Katie, for reference, is also a Physical Kid.)
Hopefully Quentins professors can determine something a little more practical than undetermined for him as well.
