☩ 004. VIDEO

[ Behold, Lucrezia in pale pink dress and an elaborated braid in the first video broadcast since her arrival. By the looks of it, she is in one of the lounges, a few books in her lap. They look used, little notes scribbled at the edges of each page. She will read one. ]

I am, I confess, a sinner, but one who, far from weeping for her sins, weeps only for her lover; far from abhorring her crimes, longs only to add to them; and who, with a weakness unbecoming my state, please myself continually with the remembrance of past delights when it is impossible to renew them.

[ a pause. ]

Heloise and Abelard were truly doomed. But better doomed and loved than safe and lonely.



( Private to close CR and friends. )

I would ask something of you, if you please. It is a simple task, but important still.

You can be happy when you're just sitting there, not really doing anything. Just happy. Right?

Well yeah, but not always. Just like you could be having fun but not actually be happy, down at the core of things.

Yeah.

[ There's a small flicker of a smile, something sad. ]

That's why so many people have a hard time knowing if they're happy or not. They get confused.

Yeah. I mean, the ship does its best to make sure it isn't sometimes, but... there are plenty of people who had it shitty back home. It's better here for a lot of them.

If they can be happy here, then they should be, you know?

[ Jaye get out of other people's sex lives, your own should be keeping you busy enough. ]
