When it isn't terrible or awful, it is!
(The price is feeling, well, everything, fully as it arises all through until it passes. All the bad stuff, too.)

At least, I haven't found a way to make it work without that part. Not sure if I care to, either.

Even that sounds pretty good, tbh. Drifting along with a vague feeling of impending dread actually seems reasonable these days, but it's not a lot of fun. Having emotions doing what they're supposed to do, however visceral the experience, still sounds like levelling up to me.

Hahahahahah, yeah, I understand if people have those feelings and find them reasonable to cleave to. Do what thou wilt.
But it couldn't be further from what I want. The best help often comes from the least possible care. I'd rather be effective and happy than TRV KVLT.

Grief and sorrow are honest, good feelings of merit. I won't fault anyone for grieving what they love.
But I guess I was never really that invested in this species. Either you figure things out and survive, or you hardly deserved surviving to begin with. Let another step forth.

You're going to have to expand those abbreviations for me, because I'm assuming that you're not talking about Thermostatic Radiator Valves.
But yes, clearly happiness is very useful for effectiveness - and I can see that it's worth paying a pretty high price for it.

It's "true kult". I left out the e. Mocking black metal-esque excessive gloominess, here.
