You know, normally I wouldn't have seen Daniel as this cold either. But I felt that after witnessing the death of his "real" team, and having to somehow accept these people who are so like his family (because I've always felt they had become a family), and yet don't really know him, or care about him, would do things to him -- that at some level, he'd have to either push his emotions down where they could no longer be found, or go totally insane.

Anyway, that's how I posited it.

And thanks -- great comments. I appreciate it.
