Some girl at work today asked me if I hated her, which is absurd. I didn't even realize how I was acting to her. Sure she's slow and a little stupid, but I don't hate her, or any of you. You guys sling that word around way too casually

It doesn't matter.

[empathed]

What doesn't matter?

[repairedbywebs]

Your apologies.

[empathed]

I wasn't apologizing to you, so you can go choke on your opinion.

[repairedbywebs]

I never said you were.

But no one particularly cares, do they?

[empathed]

Some do. They get their feelings hurt when they shouldn't, because they are too much.

[repairedbywebs]

Now you're just talking about yourself.

[empathed]

I'm talking about humans in general. You aren't human, so you don't know shit about what they do or don't care about.

[repairedbywebs]

Neither are you.

[empathed]

...It's my emotions that make me human. Mine and everyone else's.

In that, I'm the polar opposite from you.

[repairedbywebs]

Many non-humans have emotions.

My brother has emotions and he's certainly not human.

[empathed]

Maybe I should say... It's my emotions that keep me human.

[repairedbywebs]

No. Your emotions keep you empathizing with humans, but you are no longer human.

That does not mean you lack humanity, which is a word badly coined because of all the creatures in the universe, the only ones who lack humanity more than the Dahman are humans themselves.

...Don't tell Tsuzuki that, if he ever comes back.

I really, really hate it when you're right. I almost hate you, but it stops at severely dislike.

[repairedbywebs]

I don't suspect he would listen to anything I said at all.

Of course you do. People always dislike it when others are right. It's much easier to correct than be corrected.

[empathed]

He'd reject it. But it would still hurt him, just to hear it.
