[ The amount of people that Vincent dislikes pales in comparison to the people he likes. If he thought about it, there isn't any group of people that he likes. He can only trust in himself; he can only trust in his transactional relationships.
But he isn't completely inhuman. There is a part of him that wants to connect with people; it may be why he feels sympathy for others readily even if he has to first verbally attack them so they know he's superior to them.
Ah well. ]
I think you can have affection without trust. [ A beat. ] Enjoying the sight and sound of someone without really believing that they won't betray your expectations in some way. I think you can lie to yourself and say that they won't let you down, but without taking the time to see if the investment is worth it...
It's just empty affection for something that appealed to your senses in some way.
