[Why are you laughing? That's a ridiculous laugh. Stop laughing.]

Then I shall be happy to prove you wrong, because my suffering has always been tempered by the bastion and refuge of logic. First of all, we will have to throw out anything that is the result of immediate acute stress response by the actions of this town--or to be more specific about some of the criteria, the actions of my brother that resulted in further actions of this town.

As you must well know [Another dig--] the amygdala, triggering a neural response in the hypothalamus, is far faster than conscious thought in the face of stimuli, and therefore must be ruled out in your conditions of 'moving past whatever temporary emotions you are suffering in the moment.'

Considering that...well, everything we've been through since you've arrived has involved stressors that involve the fight or flight response, I cannot be held responsible for the initial reaction. But clearly, as I stand proverbially before you now, I have moved on from these particular problems, including when my brother switched bodies.

[No, he has not moved on from that and likely never will.]
