[ she may be so far gone that she forgets, but shirley doesn't require omniscience to note body language and expression. to feel what others do, even this far beneath the city. ...a broadcasted memory helps, though. ]

[It never not hurts to see these things, and worse - it feels intrusive. It's one thing to read a file and stare at photographs, or to piece together what's played out, but to watch it play out like this on the inside of someone's head? She hates it.
She can't decide if its worse with a friend or with a stranger. Two different kinds of wrong. Both with their own sets of issues.
The polite thing to do might be to ignore it, leave it uncommented on and go about her business (which happens to be an invasive file that concerns no one here.
That might be polite, but it also seems wrong. So...]

[ there's no file for you to see, lilly, and little more than a paragraph in the history books (books that in your world are completely true, and in his, lying). ezio's not even in any books; why have such a force-- the papal army-- sent after a man who, by all rights in records, doesn't exist?
polite, wrong, those are all things to consider, but discretion is hardest when things are broadcast.
okay fuck it i can't do prosey things unless i'm half asleep, i guess. ]
Grazie, Lilly. Both, though?
[ ......... are you insinuating something about shirley. :| ]
