audio; during the valentine's event

[whethertheyshould]

I've done some asking around, and if you're wondering why you were targeted or bitten by the, ah, the so-called 'cherubs', I've pretty much narrowed it down to you being in love. I don't know if trying to not feel loving feelings helps, however. I would say it couldn't hurt to try, but I think what hurts a lot less than that is simply avoiding the areas where they are gathering, which is in the hallways.

[ Ian realizes Alia put a lock on the reply moments later and relaxes in relief. He worries about people being punished for being human and engaging in human indulgences like a relationship. ]

Unfortunately, yes. But it's unfortunate that we are being punished for natural human tendencies.

[It's to his credit, really. Alia will never blame anyone for a bit of anxiety about others' safety. Or the failures of her player.]

I wonder if there's some way we might change that. Or at least convince Corporate to look the other way.

Convincing Corporate? An interesting idea. How would you propose we would accomplish that?

Good question. For something other than providing a powerpoint essay on the Sacred Band of Thebes, I'll have to think about it for a while.

I'm afraid you may have to come up with more than just that, yes. Corporate seems distinctly uninterested in history.
