November turns the question over in his head– there's not really an easy way to explain this. Because being completely unfeeling isn't quite how it works (at least, not for him, not anymore). But can he really call it feeling when it gets disregarded in favour of the most logical course? Does it count as an emotion or just a firing of synapses? PANDORA hadn't quite figured it out, and neither had he. Years of being a Contractor hadn't cleared it up in the least. ]
Not feeling isn't exactly true, but it's the most direct way to describe it. Mechanically, we feel a level of emotion, but it's numbed over, much lesser than anyone on the normal spectrum would feel. It's fleeting and easily put aside to consider the most rational choice. Present a Contractor a decision based on logic and one based on emotion and they'll always choose the former.
[ Except for Hei, but he's not about to rat him out. Besides, it's not like he understands that man any better than he understands himself. ]
Our main instinct in survival above all. I'm less likely to stick my neck on the line for someone else; it's compulsive. [ Mostly. As is the contract payment. He's about to expand on that when he stops halfway through starting. Bunny, that wasn't very nice. ]

Ah, that's a bit different. I owe her.
