Hi! [After he conversation with the trolls, Elaine's trying her best to not let the event get to her. In other words, she's trying to fake being cheerful.]

[echo_of_utopia]

Good to see you, Elaine. [ Lamb's smile is as genuine as always. ] How have you been? Most of us are quite strained at the moment.

[demiurgos_girl]

I guess that's the right way to put it. Just strained.

And you?

[echo_of_utopia]

Merely relieved that the clinic is empty at the moment. Several transmissions appeared quite tense and I admit I found myself imagining worse.

The fortunate lack of patients has given me time to wonder about this event's origin. Should such a way to organise one's emotional connections be a social norm rather than personal experience then I would be quite interested in speaking to a member of that world.

Oh. This is from the trolls.

So you're actually enjoying this?

[echo_of_utopia]

Would it surprise you if I did?

[ The question stands, though she supplies her own answer as well: ]

As a concept to be discussed I'm certainly intrigued. I imagine the theory to be quite insightful, but in practice we hardly require our whims to increase fourfold.

[demiurgos_girl]

...It's little bit surprising, to be honest. I don't like feeling anything that isn't me.

[She laughs.] Ever the psychiatrist, Sofia.
