*except not because we're going to fix your garbage life

...I do too. [ that's a little more uncomfortable, makes him chew the inside of his cheek, prickling at sense memories. ] I'm used to relying on my brain. When it fails me, it's... well. [ a little huff of a laugh. ] What else do I have left?
[ help he can't help but snort, and the winces, and then laughs again at the fact that it kind of hurt. haha ow. god. broken bag of bones. ]
I can be quiet and look pretty without my head, but that's about it, at least here. No biochip, no brains. Just viral immunity and a nice face. The tragedy of academia!
[ as he has learned with his injuries, he's pretty squishy. he's joking, though, not too bothered. ]
When I was little, that was all I had. My senses, from computers. I've always been lucky to be grounded that way; it was difficult to be on the other side.
Feeling like I couldn't trust anything I knew, at all.
[ brain problems >:( ]
And having the physical injuries to show for it, too - that it wasn't even real, but the hurt that came from it was. [ these adventures.... terrible. ]
In the end, though, I was able to rely on someone else to help me through. There's a lesson to be learned from that, I suppose. Still - what a mess.

[besides her brain is. always bad.]
But I like being able to take stock of what is and isn't real.

[she doesn't really want to think about or acknowledge it, but.]
If it did have anything to do with me, then - it is unfortunate to have two such incidents occur.
