Gratitude and Southern Comfort (Jonash and Unna)

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

"That actually isn't the Jedi reasoning. That was my reasoning, or at least what I think my reasoning is. The mind is an incredible thing and it finds ways of protecting us. For me, the lack of attachment does seem to help with lack of pain, however it is not a conscious decision that I make. I hear that we can not choose who we love. I feel like I can not choose who I don't love. I just do not feel a lot of love. I do enjoy the company of certain people, including you, but I do not often feel great loss once the people are gone anymore. Since my family died, I have lost many people who were close to me, but I do not feel it. It is a numbness and I'm sure I could 'benefit' from counseling," Unna spoke the word 'benefit' in a sarcastic tone, "but I don't want to. I think this works for me. Now that I think of it, my numbness is my whiskey. I do not choose to drink my numbness, but I suppose I have been choosing to hold onto it, even if I have not made a conscious effort to do so. I still believe, that as a mechanic, it is a bad idea to be under the influence of a substance while you are making repairs to this ship or any other mechanism for that matter. It pleases me to hear that you think my company is probably better than the whiskey. I do believe that I am better for your liver as well."
