   Summary

   Tony's had a long time to come up with answers to the question; "Don't you feel anything about all this?". In his old life, he'd shrug it off, 'Merchant of Death' wrapped around his shoulders like a protective jacket. In this new life, things are a bit more complicated.

   In truth, Tony feels everything, all the time. In truth, Tony is, to his very core, to the smallest gene, unfeeling. These things are hard to live with.
