MAEA
A small comfort, but a comfort none the less that it wasn't uncommon. Normally she might resent being 'like everyone else' but in this case, Maea was glad for it. "Is there a way to prevent it from happening?" she wanted to know. "While I don't mind the clarity it brings, I don't like the way I act without thinking. The things I say... I wonder if I would still say them if I was fully present." Maybe that's what the 'rudeness' Flora perceived stemmed from? Maea's disconnect must seem cold and unfeeling from the outside, as if she looked down on the other person even though it couldn't be further from the truth.
The question that followed made her wince a bit. "Uh... depends?" she said, squirming in her seat. "If it's a topic I feel confident about, I can argue around it and even enjoy the debate. But, when it strays from the logical and rational, when it becomes personal and starts dealing with feelings... it's not as fun anymore. I can't back that up with anything other than 'because I think so', and that never seems..." She sucked on her teeth, searching for the right word. "Enough? Valid? Everyone's experiences are different, so who am I to say that my truth and my perspective is more valid than anyone else's?"

I see a new horizon, holding on to hope
Say goodbye to all my pain when it's time for me to go
