Fortunately he was cured of the crazy obsession of being happy and giving a fuck about things.

“Look, he said he knows where all the fruit bearing trees in this forest are. Not a lot of them, all of them. He pointed out a squirrel the other day and told it he was glad to see that it made it through the winter.

Imagine being the ruler of that city and letting him get “cured” instead of having him infodump / give daily reports about this.
Lord Vetinari would have him on the city payroll.
Neurotypicals at what they can do the best pathologizing what makes others happy and joyful!
I have to fight the urge to start a debate if trains or ships are cooler
Ships, trains and planes are all cool.

Trucks used for transportation of goods are cool
Where’s the part where he suffers?
