Compartmentalized is a good work for it. Soldat is pretty good at that, it's probably only natural the rest of their brain would follow suit.

"That's one way to describe it." They hardly even remember what a quiet brain sounds like anymore-- and if Sarge, the first of them, goes away... will the Asset and the Pit? (Doubt that last one will, unless that Solis person does wind up figuring out how to fix death-problems. Yeah. A brain with just me, Asset, and that sounds.... No. Yeah.)

Soldat puts the journal to one side and gets up again. They're done thinking about it for now. "Thinking about getting better shouldn't be depressing," they say, somewhere between grumpy and apologetic, and start gathering their collection of ferry stuff to put away.
