listen to your heart 😌

"Can You Handle Your Emotions?"
Emotions are... eh. We all have them, whether we want to or not. Some people have control over their emotions, and some people let their emotions control them. Where does your character fall on this spectrum? More importantly, what's their relationship with their emotions like? Do they bury everything deep, deep down inside, or are they the first one to cry over a sappy movie? Do they even know how they feel about what's going on inside? Pretty meta stuff.
  • No blank top-levels.
  • Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: can you handle your emotions? / are you in touch with your feelings?
  • Get deep. Look within. Hear, think feel... or don't.

[Richard mock snores.]

Does that really work though? Or do you just put more stress on yourself while trying to repress?

It works for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that I just enjoy what I do.

I do other cases as well. One for them, one for me.

Ah okay, that makes more sense.
Still sounds really stressful and boring to be but why do you like it so much?
