I don't suppose it's very surprising, but it's much easier to work through foreign-borne emotions, than it is my own. They're finite. Even if they start very strong, that single input can't get any stronger. Regular human emotions, though, they can fluctuate from minute to minute, at the slightest provocation. Associations and reminders can unearth the dead long after they've been buried.

... I know that's what ordinary people have to deal with, their whole lives, but when you have two different senses of emotion, it's hard not to prefer the less painful one.
