[Lust has been drinking. She doesn't usually indulge to the point where mildly tipsy starts heading to drunk, but it's been an emotional week and two drinks turned into three until she's fiddling with her gear with a half empty wine bottle on the table beside her and a full glass in her hand.
Probably not the best time to flip on the record function and put out a general message.]
Why do emotions have to play such a ridiculously large part in daily life? They're nothing but organic chemical reactions. You mix sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid and get fizzing, bubbling carbonic acid. It's the same damned thing, at the most basic level. Chemicals interact with other chemicals and cause a reaction.
But the molecules that give birth to emotional feeling...they're never dormant. They're never inactive. They're always combining and breaking apart and firing off signals that we have no choice but to be ruled by. Human beings are like a single chemical in that way, one that reacts in a most volatile manner to every other substance and stimulus it encounters.
The sheer number of emotions a single person experiences in a single day... it's overwhelming. And like all chemical reactions, prone to change drastically the moment something new is introduced. The simple act of going from content to frightened or angry or even irritated is enough to interfere with daily life.
That seems like a detrimental design flaw, to me.

...Yeah, it is. Emotions can control you, and that's not something I really want to deal with.
...More than I have to.
[Video]
It almost feels as though there has to be, humans born and raised as humans seem to deal with it all fine for the most part.

[she wasn't raised in a normal fashion, was she? Veronica could understand that.]
Not, like us though.
[Video]
But that's alright. There's nothing wrong with us, we're just different.

[her voice was suddenly shaky there, which she swallowed almost immediately.]
There's nothing wrong with being like this. That's what my fa... The Professor told me.
[Video]
[Lust's voice is almost kind.]
It's what you believe based on your own experience and interaction with existence.
[Video]
[She shook her head, the ghost of a smile on her lips. Lust's kind words seemed to be getting to her.]
That's really nice of you, making me feel better like that.
[It was heartfelt kindness. Something that she wasn't used to.]
[Private Video]
[Lust isn't very experienced with these things either - kindness, understanding. This world has taught her, though.]
These are things you struggle with? I ask because it's one I know well.
