I'd be more unhappy if something vital was overlooked and the unit suffered as a result.

Maybe it doesn't make me happy, but I don't have time to dwell on that. I have learned to love what I must do.

[syckophant]

You have plenty of time, Yvette. We all do. We have nothing but time. There are plenty of times when we don't, but much of our time is simply spent in our dorms or playing in "lives". Do you just not want to think about your own happiness?

[tradesecret]

What is the point in doing so, if everything can change tomorrow?

If I can bear it better than most, why shouldn't I capitalize on that?

[syckophant]

Because we all have to bear our own burdens, Yvette. You can't take them all onto your shoulders, and despite our burdens, that doesn't mean we just ignore ourselves...

I know you work best by diminishing yourself, but... what would you do with no one else to work for? Not as an employee, but in general. You said yourself, everything could change tomorrow. What if we were all made to play solo?

[Sighs.]

I just don't understand anything about you.

[ if she had no one else to work for...? What a terrible thought. ]

Realistically, there's never a shortage of people who would rather hire someone to do something they don't wish to do.

And if I had to work alone... mm... I'm actually more accustomed to working independently. I remember only having minimal direction and making my own judgement calls.

If there's something you'd like to understand, you're always free to ask me questions. I'm fairly transparent about my thought process and methodology, I just can't explain much about my past, since my memory is limited.

[ and she's not going to be looking at memories for a while ]
