I sense that you're doing this just to make fun of me.

[Oh, she's not letting it get to her much. You don't survive as an empath or as a counselor without fairly tough skin. But the young girl's wording troubles her.]

Safer?

[temerated]

Less painful in the long run. Like most things, it's better if you care as little as possible, ma'am.

[sensestheobvious]

I wouldn't say that. I think it's very important to care about things.

[temerated]

I care about a few things. But only very few. It's best that way.

[sensestheobvious]

Why?

[temerated]

If you don't care about something, it can't hurt you when it's taken away.

[sensestheobvious]

You've had a lot of things taken away from you. [username relevant]

[temerated]

I'll survive.

[sensestheobvious]

Of course you will. But that doesn't mean it's not hard.

[temerated]

Everything is hard, from the second I wake up to when I go to bed. It has been for seven years. You get used to it.
