This is how some people cope with this sort of shit. It's not that it doesn't matter or that they don't care. It does. But for some people, the only way they can keep themselves from breaking down entirely is to keep a sense of normalcy, to keep on moving forward.

In some ways, this is almost preferable to the alternative. No, it's not getting us anywhere as far as finding the VIPs...but it's not mass hysteria and paranoia. Which is the absolute worst thing we could be dealing with right now and the things we should be avoiding at all costs.
