I am normally emotionally detached. After taking medication for over a decade, it really messed me up. I normally have to force myself to laugh, force myself to cry, force myself to love...basically I have to force out my emotions at the right times. But for some strange reason, anime can bring them out. An anime death brings out my tears, a random omake can make me laugh, and I can feel love for certain characters. But why is it that i can't do that with reality? A family member I was close to died not too long ago and I didn't cry at her funeral. Yet when Asuma died, I cried for twenty minutes. Why? I don't understand it.
