B'Elanna, why are you intentionally trying to hurt yourself?
I don't know.
Are you trying to commit suicide?
Ff! No!
Then why?
Because.. Because, if I sprain my ankle, at least I feel something.
What do you mean?
I'm not trying to kill myself! I'm trying to see if I'm still alive.
I don't understand.
When you look at those corpses, how do you feel?
Sad, angry, maybe a little guilty that I wasn't there to die with them.
Not me. I don't feel anything at all.
B'Elanna, the Maquis were like our adopted family, I can understand you trying to block out that kind of pain.
You don't understand. It's not just the pain. I don't feel anything. Not about my dead friends, not about Tom, you, my job.
Maybe you're afraid if you let yourself start to feel something, you might not be able to stop.
