The Byzantines, grabbing the mic: "Are you even truly ROMAN if you aren't constantly backstabbing each other, literally that is, in the political sphere and otherwise? Can you truly be ROMAN, if you aren't an utter beauracratic nightmare to navigate? Are you even truly ROMAN, unless you are having a generations-long beef with some big nation in the middle east? HMM?! HMMMM?!?!"
*drops mic, walks off, and then has a ddedicated 'mic picker-upper' servant pick it up so as to not leave a mess behind*
That's when all the students are confused and don't know if the Byzantines were trying to make a screamo song or not.
