It doesn't bother me, if you're worried about that.

[And again, that does seem to be genuine.]

My parents were pretty thrilled that I turned out to have talent with alchemy. Especially in a discipline as complex as mine. If I had to be crazy, at least I was smart and crazy. Treated me like shit, but at least they had something to pretend to be proud of.

They died when my sister and I were still pretty young. I went off to join the military as soon as I was old enough. Went to war soon after that. That's it, that's the whole backstory. No grand design, no real reason for existing, no real desire to keep on doing that other than maybe to spite people.

I don't know if that's better or worse than whatever you've got going on, and I'm not too interested in arguing that point. It just kind of is what it is, you know?
