See, where I'm from, it does kind of reset every week? I mean, not completely, we still remember stuff, and sometimes there are callbacks, but... once you move on to the next thing, you're back to normal if you got hurt or died, and you don't usually think too hard about what happened the last time, even if it was really fucked up.
Mmm... it must have been a really major leap to adapt to here, then.

Well... the company I work for is pretty powerful, and one of the leaders in the industry. It has reach in the government and military, even. Lots of very powerful people want pieces.

I'm one of the higher-ups. A co-founder, and one of the head directors. So, there's plenty of people who want to try to get close to me because of my position, or just want me out of the way entirely.

It's... been a challenge.
