L2TM, despite no longer being an iterator, is the most mentally stable iterator across all iterators. This is due to many factors, but chief among them are the facts that:
-He is no longer stuck in a tiny box she cannot escape from
-He is not bound to her own slowly rotting corpse
-It can do things like eat food and take a stroll around its local area
-It is no longer bound to endlessly calculating a solution that might be entirely hopeless from the start
-Not immortal
Unfortunately, this also makes her remarkably unhelpful in anything related to communicating things like "how to not be suicidal" to other iterators, because "you only want to be free from your mortal existence because you were deliberately built to make that existence suck so that you would be motivated to figure out ascension" is a remarkably rude thing to say to someone who is still stuck in that situation and probably knows that already, and most iterators aren't terribly receptive to the solution that L2TM pursued ("if you chop off like 95% of your processing power and almost all of your superstructure you are no longer trapped horribly understimulated in a box for eternity then life improves a lot actually")
