"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.

No, it was when I was in St. Agnes so I was a minor ward so it was allowed. It's fine. I just don't think they could've guessed that I overheard.

You are a little bit but it was manageable. I learned a long time ago to focus on other sounds. I'm not sure why you're surprised.

I'm not going to ask you how that made little Matt feel, because that would be very Wilhelm Wundt of me and he's out of my league.

Not surprised, but a little bit self-conscious, I'm glad I was a good roommate overall though.

It was when I was angry about life in general and thought the doctor and grief counselors were idiots so maybe it's better that I did so I didn't internalize all the ways I'm broken. Besides, it was at the same time that little Matt was training with a blind ninja in a basement so I had other things going on.

Nothing to be self conscious about. With all the things I hear, I'm pretty immune.

I guess that makes sense...as a kid, I imagine it feels like your pain is reduced to a list of symptoms, a problem to be charted. Training in the basement with a blind ninja, did it help...I mean it must have channeled you a bit, huh?

I feel a little better knowing I wasn't keeping you up at nights.

There was a lot of that. Feeling like I was someone's problem to be solved. I learned to fight and to control my senses better than I was doing on my own but I suppose it's up to interpretation as to whether it helped me in general. Some people might say otherwise.

If I was bothered by sound to sleep, I wouldn't get any. The world is loud in general.
