Of course, context is important, but so is individual reality and intent. I don't know that I'm ever going to receive some kind of confirmation that I am or am not my one true physical self in this place. But I feel that I am myself, and so I move forward as I would do in any other circumstance.

It's the nature of life to seek balance, relative normalcy-- I can't simply proceed from a place of complete distrust. If I could not trust my senses and emotions to a certain extent, then I'd become paralyzed. I do have an affection for you, and a desire as well, obviously. It's my belief that I would feel this way even if I weren't in this place. If we were thrown together like this, of course.

I would never want you to feel pressured or coerced into-- wanting to be intimate with me. Do you feel that's something that you wouldn't want otherwise?
