ROSE: But it's more complex than that.
ROSE: We'll leave it at that.
DIRK: An understandable position.
ROSE: We keep digressing.
ROSE: What did you mean by "things left undone"?
DIRK: I'm going to keep it real.
DIRK: So real, it's a little bit uncomfortable.
DIRK: Hyperreal.
DIRK:
DIRK: ...
DIRK: It's just a feeling.
DIRK: I'm pulling on the threads, and coming to no concrete conclusions other than a vague sense of anxiety and a non-committal hand wave.
ROSE: Helpful.
ROSE: Is it homophobia?
DIRK: What.
ROSE: Are you afraid of lesbians being in love?
DIRK: No I don't-
ROSE: Why are you so afraid of women loving women, Dirk?
DIRK: ...
ROSE: Yes, I'm fucking with you.
DIRK: Okay, thank fuck.
ROSE: Did you really think I would accuse you of that?
DIRK: ... No.
ROSE: Ehehe.
ROSE: I'd like to have a ring made, also...
DIRK: Why not alchemize one?
ROSE: It's... different.
DIRK: How so?
ROSE: It's... different, knowing something came from a real person.
ROSE: I suppose most things came from people, but I don't think about such things often... or at least I try not to.
ROSE: It's a rabbit hole that's truly inescapable.
ROSE: You understand my sentiment, yes?
DIRK: I get you well enough, yeah.
ROSE: I expected as much.
DIRK: Send me your schematics, I'll get some rough ones made if you want.
ROSE: Thank you.
ROSE: I'll be seeing you, then.
DIRK: Peace.
