"I can't dream?" Lexx rested his hands on the rim of well that was now before him.
"You can't dream."
"I am."
"Dreams are for the sick and weak." The reflection sneered, letting the words dig in.
"I am." Lexx sighed wearily. He looked at the reflection apprehensively, "I want a life of my own. I want to trust,.. I want that one per-"
"You want the impossible!" The surface of the water exploded violently, arcing toward Lexx. "Look what love got your parents! They aren't here, are they? Chemicals, nothing more. It's not real!" Lexx recoiled and slipped on the slick floor. "It lies, covers the truth, nobody cares!"

All emotions are caused by chemicals, so why are the love chemicals different. To take that stance is to say no emotions are real. Actually, I could see Reflection-Lexx taking that view…

A good idea. Let me take a stab at that.
“This love. It is as fleeting as as a dream, as hunger. Your rage will fade, your fear dulls. All these things are like dust in the wind. They can be memorable, they can be irritating, but they are ultimately fleeting. They have no meaning or purpose. I do not rely on these crude chemicals which cloud your mind and judgements.
“Rely on me, Lex. I will see you through these clouded perceptions safely. I will show you the truth.”
