531 Monstrosity & Morality: Dividing Lines of the Self and Other, Section 1

Oh, I'm not the professor! Just a professor, I suppose. You'd want to talk to Hope for that. I'm Grace Yi.

Ah, so it's like that...

In that case, maybe I should ask: is that an acceptable conclusion?

"Well, I wouldn't want you to accidentally violate the university ethics code! But I think that's the sort of thing that would appeal to her, if you make that part of your thesis."

...That the failure to save everyone doesn't mean the whole hypothesis was a lost cause?

"Mm... I do very much miss her, though. Iris."

She rubs her eyes a little bit.

Seems like she missed you too.

"I'm glad that Hope was able to see her... one last time. Even if it was to part ways. I never liked playing favorites with those I considered my children, but..."

I don't know if there's anything you can do about preferences, so maybe the best you can hope for is "fairness."

"Mm. So—I hope that she finds peace, wherever she ends up. She deserves it."

She looks down at him. "Don't let me keep you, though. If you want a little help now and again, though, I'll play teaching assistant."

Is that my cue to get back to researching?

"Work hard! I'll be rooting for you."

I'll do my best!

[Heading over to the shelves... and grabbing all emotion books thank you.]

Well, after the sensitIV baby has been put to bed you can scoop Agape from him.

I'm going to give these to you one at a time but feel free to request them in quick sequence.

[You've got yet more names to go through, he sees.

Next!]

You pick Love off of the shelf.

This volume seems to be sprinkled with a number of photographs tucked into pages—various members of BAD END=DEAD END cooking in the kitchen, Hope teaching a girl who looks like she might be a younger sister how to read, a nighttime walk through the park with Nychta, Sashay giving her a tight hug in someplace that looks like a prison, patting Serenity on the head when the latter looks worried, chatting with Cypress, Ordine showing her to the arcade to blow off steam for shooting games—and one of Iris, taken in Tokyo-F, with Hope giving her a tight hug, face pressed into her shoulder.

There's also a small folded scrap of paper tucked into it.

And also there's writing, because of course there is. Have you met this woman? She can't shut up.

[Well that's nice.

Time to be nosy and look at the folded scrap.]

It's written in black, looping cursive, and reads:

You know, "til death do us part" is considered to be pretty romantic.

[Ma'am. Did that really need to be tucked away.

Next!]

Listen! It's not tucked away, she's using it as a bookmark!!!!

The next one seems to be a list of items.

[Cute.

Next?]

The next one is a sheaf of handwritten notes.

[Depressing. But alright, guess it's time to find new stacks.]
