"You're too detached, son. I'm afraid you wouldn't make a good human being", he was told on his seventeenth birthday, the day he was scheduled to become a man.
And, just like that, humanity was denied to him.
All of his life he had been told not to mind others' opinion of him, not to care about them, what they thought. He was very proud of his restrain and self-control on that matter. He had become carefree on sheer willpower. That surely had to be an extraordinary achievement. And now it turned out he was too detached to be a mortal man. Well, good. He didn't want to be one anymore anyway. Humans are way too complicated.
