My name is Roy, and I suffer from a dissociative disorder that prevents me from feeling emotions. In this crazy world of selling feelings, my "incompleteness" has become the sharpest sobriety. They said I was sick and that technology could cure me. I refused. Because I am convinced that it is not me who is sick, but this world that tries to forget all the pain but also forgets the reality.
