Summary
In truth, coffee didn't wake Jouno up — to the point he often believed caffeine to be a hoax — nor did its bitterness or scalding heat, no. Because Jouno was stubborn, and it seemed his body followed in suit, the adenosine in his body refusing to stop for the foreign chemical roadblock, dispersing around it like he did with his enemies. Jouno didn't drink coffee for all the conventional reasons; but that is exactly why he drank it. Drinking coffee, something so mundane, it was normal. For a while, he wasn't a weapon for the state, wasn't a hunting dog, wasn't disposable — he was normal. Normal people drank coffee. And though it had no effect on him and he rather hated the taste, he drank coffee. And that was normal enough.
