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.]

Being touched is precious. It need not be sexually fulfilling. [He has spent years alone, longing for gentleness; longing for someone to hold him - or let him hold them. He is sure just about anyone could benefit from contact.]

I pray the future for my world is different. The nobility hold too much power and the poor suffer for it. [Instead of becoming part of the problem, Meng Yao is trying to be part of the solution. Even if it frightens him to stand against those he used to idolize.]

I'm not sure.

That much we have figured out. [ He has difficulties in that area too, but Gen's figured him out so they have no real trouble in that area. It's all about how he's touched that seems to be the issue. ]

It sounds awful, to make people suffer. I don't like suffering. I like how our community is now, much more than some of the things from the past, where there were distinct social classes like that. I know, however, as we expand population, it will become a sticking point again. It's just too bad.

Humans are ambitious. They like to give into their lusts and their pride. As your community grows, be vigilant of that. Give reprimands where they are needed and perhaps the social classes will not be so discernible.

[When the rich are so rich that they are surrounded by gold and the poor are so poor that they can't get enough to eat, there is a real problem.]

They are ambitious. I'm ambitious. [ He'll openly admit that. ] It's not power I seek, but knowledge.

[ He will give an appropriate bow of his head. ] I'll take your words to heart. I'm equally as disinterested in that kind of outcome as humanity recovers. I'd rather everyone be able to have a safe and honest living.

[ayao]

With knowledge, you will grow wiser. Ambitious fools close their eyes to the truth and refuse to expand their minds. [He is ashamed he grows into such a fool.]

You will be a good leader. I will pray for you.
