**Codrin Bălan#Pollux:** Thanks for agreeing to this, Dear. I think we're both in a better spot for it now. **Codrin Bălan#Pollux:** Thanks for agreeing to this, Dear. I think we're both in a better spot for it now.

**Codrin:** How so? **Codrin:** How so?
**Dear:** To say that a lot has happened in the last year is not quite true. Very little that counts as dramatic or anything has happened. There were interviews by the Bălan clade and that is about it. The most dramatic of those took place on the other LV however many billions of miles a way, and that was simply one of you getting bounced from a sim, yes? Nothing has happened that feels like it should lead to exhaustion, and yet I am quite worn out by the sheer amount of information uncovered. **Dear:** To say that a lot has happened in the last eleven months is not quite true.

**Codrin:** Emotionally exhausted, perhaps? Like you had to relive two hundred years in the space of one? **Codrin:** Emotionally exhausted, perhaps? Like you had to relive two hundred years in the space of one?

**Dear:** They almost certainly will, yes. Well. [pauses] Yes. I believe I said before that a large part of it is due to me being a hopeless romantic. A large part of that still stands. I am excited to see the galaxy, as it were, and it still tickles me to know that I am speeding away from Earth at some ludicrous speed and that there is absolutely no way back. **Dear:** They almost certainly will, yes.

**Codrin:** Does that play into your thoughts on irreversibility. **Codrin:** Does that play into your thoughts on irreversibility?
**Dear:** [laughter] Of course, my dear. There is no way back. The Ansible on the launch is no longer facing Earth, by agreement with the launch commission that this be a one-and-done project, at least for now. If they create additional LVs down the line, then perhaps they will have separate conversations. There is no going and there is no back, yes? We are here, and we will never see Earth, the station, or the System again. That is very appealing to the romantic in me. **Dear:** [laughter] Of course, my dear. There is no way back.

**Codrin:** I'm sorry, Dear. I wanted to be up front about it. **Codrin:** I'm sorry, Dear. I wanted to be up front about it.
**Dear:** [long pause, calmer] I understand. I... [pause] Perhaps you feel some of the same worry that you might be loved by none. **Dear:** [long pause, calmer] I understand. I... [pause] Perhaps you feel some of the same worry that you might be loved by none. Perhaps it is a universal emotion.
**Codrin:** I think so, yeah. Having it said out loud kicked my anxiety up a notch, so I started to worry, "Wait, *am* I loved by none? Does Dear love me? Do both of them love me?" I know it's not true, but that's why I reacted in the way that I did. **Codrin:** I think so, yeah.
