[It just goes directly to the beep.]
Of course; take all the time you need to consider it. This is just a preliminary discussion to see if you'd be amenable to sharing your thoughts at all, and if you don't think you can, it's more important to me that you remain comfortable. I would also like to stress that regardless of whether you contribute or not, your identity will remain confidential.
That being said, the only ones I'd speak to would be Intensity and B. Even if the other members of i2 have been vetted, I don't know them well enough to ensure their reaction will be the same as mine.

'Twas not aware it needed to be hidden.
[He sighs.]
And I do not mean to take my frustration out upon you. I would much prefer to work together than not. Between the two of us, I doubt it would have taken much to reconcile. I will vet your peers as I have little time or patience for would be heroes.
Though if I might ask a personal question in return. I do know you are dedicated heavily to your work, but if all you wish is to return home, what do you get out of ensuring the safety of the masses? BARiTONES benefits, of course, but do you truly feel so strongly about their security?

[ she seems puzzled about why he's apologizing to her for his frustration, but she'll just accept it. ]
It probably doesn't need to be hidden, but given the negative sentiments about the Producers— that one in particular... discretion is best.
As for why I do it... I don't really want or expect anything in return. I saw the need, and felt what little experience I have in that capacity could be useful, so I provided it. It's not as though I have any strong feelings about the Producers, or the system, or that my struggles entitle me to anything, be it more lenient treatment or some reward.

Put concisely, you have taken this mantle because it was a job needing to be done.
Basically. It's no different from why I got into unit PR. No one else had an interest. Tenshouin-san even had outright disdain for selling a product as a Live.
And you do the job well. I doubt any would argue with that.
Though I would recommend finding a passion other than being a cog in an elaborate machine. ...Or perhaps you already have, and I am uncharitably belittling it.
Thank you for your candor, Miss Yvette. I will make my inquiries and hopefully be able to provide you with the same.

Alexander: Did I push too hard?
Alexander: I'd offer my apologies but they would be insincere.
Alexander: I'd offer my apologies but they would be insincere.
hurricane: its cool
hurricane: but can i talk to u
hurricane: but can i talk to u
Alexander: Of course. Where and when?
Alexander: Yes. My schedule is free.
hurricane: u wanna come here, or...?
Alexander: To cut this back and forth short, I will just meet you outside your dorm.
[And he will be there in about ten minutes.]
[And he will be there in about ten minutes.]
[oh]
[well]
[that works]
[...gets the door???]

[Leaning on the door frame.]
It probably comes as no surprise that guests to BARiTONES are few and far between. Thus, making a trip down here is easier.
There were side effects for those who did not win that game, so do be thoughtful with your questions.
Now, I'd rather not have a conversation in your dorm. Come along.

...what's wrong with my dorm?
I hardly know anyone on your unit but yourself. Would it not be in intruding?
Nah, it's cool. We can just hang out in one of the rooms people don't use so much.
[Sighs.]
If a crowd begins to form, I will take my leave.
[Pushing himself off the door frame.]
Lead the way.

[Moving aside to let him in]
Whatcha wanna do?
We got an arcade, we could play videogames. Or we got this weird forest, if you just wanna take a walk? Or an anti-grav room if floating around's your deal.

[Taken aback.]
And here I thought you asked me here to scold me for cornering you in the last game.

...I mean.
[Shuts the door behind them.]
I'm gonna ask you about it, I ain't gonna lie. But you backed off when I said, so. We're good.

Ah, then it was as expected. You don't need to entertain me beforehand. Should you have a question, feel free to ask. It is better to be direct with such topics.
[Hesitates a beat or two. Then:]
...how come you asked? During the game, I mean?
