I don't quite understand how you can have such idiosyncratic weaknesses and invulnerabilities though, quite singular.

# I wish I didn't.
And Animal Hospital, any show about a zoo, anything where animals are in pain or die or might die...

# Well even if I could explain it,
it would be more a horrible deconstruction of your entire personality, so you'd either deny that it's true or get freaked out by the predictability and lack of free will in your own conscious mind.

# I'm not sure either.
