It's true. Vacation aside, we're always in mission mode while we're here. And sure, there are ways in which shared stress like this brings people together, but at the same time...
I wish I could see you like you were back in your home world. Just messing around like someone your age should be. I know you're more than capable of handling it, don't get me wrong, but... I've never liked the idea of you doing these sorts of things.
Just because you're strong and just because you can doesn't mean you should. You look way happier talking about your friends than I think I've ever seen you... and I wish you could feel that way all the time.
