Steve takes a slow breath on that one, before he has to admit, "Four years."
He's... not exactly proud of it, and not exactly ashamed of it. It's complicated all over again. But given that he would never leave Bucky here and given that he also still has zero desire to work for the Admiral, staying an inmate seems like the best option.
He also has no idea how to graduate, and he isn't sure he ever did.
"Most people aren't inmates that long," he feels the need to point out, because he doesn't think Bucky will by any means still be an inmate in four years. "Most graduate a couple of months to a year after they get assigned a permanent warden. I've had... three, but one was sent home against her will and one left voluntarily. Cal Kestis is my warden now. If you - ever needed someone to take me down or find me. Or revive me. Lark Tennant would, too."
