Lyra's Diary

by KMCA

Chapter 12

Dear Diary,

The more time I spend around Matthew Brennan the more time I must reassess my conclusions. While Alex is a solid dependable subject of study who I’ve been able to predict. Many actions of Matthew has been anything but. He seems understanding of my studies and sees past the eccentricities, just like Bon-Bon.

His ability to change behavior at a moments notice suggest he may possibly be mentally unstable. Although these abrupt changes usually are followed by a personality that seems remarkably stable. The most radical of these changes occur when the subject is startled or feels threatened. Usually this change is aggressive but when the subject is out of his protective clothing he is more likely to have a fleeing or “flight” reaction. This differs from ponies whose default reaction to fear is flight or freeze. I theorize that humans have an additional reaction, an “attack” reaction.

I would like to create this reaction in a controlled environment but I can’t seem to bring myself to do so, I feel guilty when I think about it. Am I losing my objectivity?

Signed,
Questionable Objectivity
