I'm going to explain this once, because I like you. Nothing's going on between us. We're just buds. Happens to those who have learned to repress emotions because it's too hard to deal with in our line of work and it doesn't do us any benefits. No sense in choking up next time you have to pull a trigger or drop a bomb. And I pretty well damn near quit the last I was directly involved in the death of innocent natives. So yes. You need that distance or otherwise, you'd never be able to your job. And while I'm not involved in the military here, it becomes a part of you before too long. I miss rules, regulations and military rations.
Also, I was in a wheelchair five years ago, flew planes in space (crashed one at one point, see wheelchair), was mentally tortured, lost my own share of crew and captained my own battleship at one point. Pike is in a wheelchair and pretty much zips around in space as well. Because of those similarities, I'm the best 'get the fuck up and work on your goddamn legs' pushy person he can get.
