Re: Bruce B/Pepper P
I'm not really selfless, just aware of what my priorities should be. [...] I do enjoy the company of Tony and other people here. You and Gwen, mostly, but I'm working on getting along with more people if I can. I am interested in the work I'm going to do with the company, and with the project Dr. Foster and I have discussed. The toxin was the catalyst that brought me back, but all the rest is helping me stay put.
I wouldn't be lonely elsewhere, but that's because I'm used to being alone. In the past I thought I always had to run, I never stopped and tried to settle anywhere, it was too dangerous. But even before the experiment, I was a solitary person. I could go months without talking to people. It's new, having friends, having people I care about. I had Betty before, but she was the only person. I'm still adjusting. I think this is a good thing, healthier long term, it's just difficult to stick to it.
