[ayao]

Forgive me for being...selfish...

And I warn you, the subject matter of my question might be sensitive...

[But why not make this inquiry here rather than in his world where it would surely bring negative repercussions.]

What are your thoughts on two men being in a relationship? [He doesn't dare say married, but he is drawn to the idea.] Do you perceive it as...wrong? Should the men instead continue their respective lines with wives?

[Heirs are important. Yet can they not be had in other ways? Of course said ways are illegal and immoral in the land he knows.]

Comments

[ayao]

My name is Meng Yao. [And the idea of experimenting leaves a flush on his cheeks.] There are so many variables. I want to act rashly, but rash actions are rarely rewarded.

[Frankly, the one he loves deserves better than that.]

Thank you for your wisdom. I will think on it.

[secondconflict]

And 'm Kerry.

And sometimes rash actions are rewarded. That's rock n' roll.

[ayao]

Rock and roll? What is that?

[secondconflict]

It's music, but also a lifestyle.

[ayao]

Your lifestyle?

[secondconflict]

More or less.

[ayao]

What does it entail?

[secondconflict]

Rebellion.

Usually in the form of stickin' it to corpo assholes, but with a healthy dose of sex and drugs too.

[ayao]

I... I see.

Who are "corpo assholes"?

[secondconflict]

Hmm... You know, rich fucks who think that they can use other people however they want? Those who treat people like pawns and think they got a right to rule the world.

[ayao]

Yes, I know of them. [His father is one.] They are frustrating.

[secondconflict]

That's why you gotta stick it to 'em. Fuck 'em up the most. Force 'em all to come to justice.

[ayao]

That is where I erred. I punished my father for his...sins. But I went too far.

[secondconflict]

Ah. So you regret it?

[ayao]

His death...I do not.

It is the deaths that followed that hurt me.

[secondconflict]

Seems like there's a pretty heavy story there, kid...

[ayao]

My future self does...awful things. I have not committed those crimes yet, but the evidence of them exists in the memories of those from my world.

[secondconflict]

Well shit, if you don't wanna go down that path, just don't do those things.

[ayao]

I must address my...anger. That is easier said than done since the source is not present.

[secondconflict]

Any head shrinkers in the train?

[ayao]

...what is a head shrinker?

[secondconflict]

You know, a shrink.

A psychologist? Doctor who specializes in helpin' folks with their headspace.

[ayao]

We do not have anyone like that in my world. But I have read texts on psychology...

[secondconflict]

Some folks see 'em to handle emotions like anger. Others got spiritual leaders who help.

[ayao]

I have plenty of anger. [And a deep desire for vengeance.] How would religion assist me?
