Emotion is for the weak, that's why you had all of yours surgically removed. You tell people it's easier to kill this way. But the truth is, when no one was around, you used to watch dramatic sea otter videos and snort. You couldn't take it anymore and either sea otter videos had to go or your emotions did. This was the easier choice. You once held a part-time job with The Followers of the Singularity as a set designer. You tend not to talk about it much. Your face has become itchy recently and, as you peel off layers of skin, you're grateful you have a high tolerance for pain.
