[ (The point of fighting when you don't give a damn is so you can keep breathing).
He's no stranger to fighting for things he should care about. Has cared about more, maybe, in a life before his mind clicked off his emotions. Before South America and MI6 and trusting a mentor that he shouldn't have. Strangely it was after that realisation, after he found out Decade had quietly been stabbing him in the back from virtually day one, that he'd really felt something other than a overwhelming numbness. In the face of that, his revenge on Maki had been nothing.
Because being duped is one thing. Being betrayed, tricked, and having Decade say he was sorry had been too much for him to let go. The bastard was sorry alright, at the end. ]
When I got my powers, it turned off my emotions. Completely. [ It feels like it's been so long, now. ] That was years ago; it's not as bad now, but it's not what could be qualified as normal.
