With Johanna, he doesn't have to watch his mouth too closely. It's sort of liberating to spend time around someone who doesn't give a shit what any of his secrets and wounds are like. "I'm literally dead where I should be, so what am I going to complain about?" Which is about as sassy as Bodhi gets. Yes, he does like it here, but only in that context. This is extra, a little more life to make up for the disaster his real one descended into.
