[More real than Jack Morrison is nowadays--or, hell, ever was. He can't exactly pinpoint the exact moment when he stopped being a person and started being an unattainable ideal that he could never really hope to reach. Sure, he knows when it started, but the way he drowned in it was gradual. By the time he realized he couldn't breathe, it was already too late.
Soldier: 76 is freeing, in a way. He feels more like himself than he has in a very long time--if he manages to disregard the hole in his chest where they ripped Overwatch out of him, that is.
He'd suspected she'd wanted to get to know him because of his infamy and status as an internationally-wanted vigilante. That in itself isn't a problem, or at least he doesn't blame her. It's good tactical sense. Now, however, he knows that his recent activities in Dorado are much more personal to her than he initially thought. He suddenly feels like he has a field of eggshells laid out in front of him, but he wonders if he cares enough to avoid stepping on them.
If he didn't care about anything, however, he wouldn't be here.]
