“I can,” Janna said. Her words created a reaction. “But I can’t give you the words. You named the emotion, even if you meant the opposite one. Talk about it. Talk around it. Talk nonsense if that help. Courageous. Not Courageous. Tell me more…”

An exasperated sigh escaped Viyara’s lips. And yet she also found that she was … relieved that Janna hadn’t meant what she thought she had with the sentence ‘tell me more’. Chewing on her lower lip for a moment, she contemplated how to reply.
“When do something that takes courage … it makes me feel good … alive,“ Viyara began as she attempted to explain herself. “That’s not how I feel right now. Telling you what little I did about my past … it doesn’t make me feel good or alive. I feel like … I don’t know … as if someone gripped my heart and is now clenching their fist.“ Looking Janna straight in the eyes she added defiantly, “I don’t like it.“

Janna nodded and gestured to Viyara. “You’re a scientist. Tell me had happens to an organism who experiences a constant state of homeostasis.”
