[lingers for a beat before breaking off, leaning carefully over a conference table, desk . . . potato, potahto]

Okay. —Go ahead.

[numberedays]

As you wish.

[Moving behind him and, as promised, spanking him exactly twice. Hopefully there isn't a requirement of how hard it needs to be, the man just can't bring himself to bring harm to others.]

[aiwillneversmile]

[the four chimes from aqua's phone after the first spank says it counts, but aqua is immediately standing up after the second and pulling the costume off, still bright red]

T-Thanks.

[numberedays]

...Are you going to be alright?

[aiwillneversmile]

[after he has a turtleneck and pants pulled on]

No. My pride will never recover.

[numberedays]

You should know by now that it doesn't matter around me. I'll take it to my grave.

[aiwillneversmile]

But I'll remember it. And that's the problem.

[numberedays]

Shall I look into ways of removing embarrassing memories?

[aiwillneversmile]

Mmm, no. There's some kind of lesson to be learned from all this. —Can't tell you what, though.

[numberedays]

This is the last type of place I'd expect anyone to learn anything good.

[aiwillneversmile]

It's possible, but not easy, I think.

[pausing as he considers mikado, gears turning]

Have you ever played with memories before?

[numberedays]

Hm? No. My work is focused on ensuring anything collected by or interacting with the Master Program remains safe and untouchable.

I'm sure it's possible in theory, but all my efforts have been to prevent any such cases.

[aiwillneversmile]

What if it could save a life . . . ? Would you still refuse to explore it?

[numberedays]

That sort of situation would be highly circumstantial, no? Hard to make a call without all the information.

[aiwillneversmile]

Is it a yes or no?

[numberedays]

...I might. So I suppose, yes.

[aiwillneversmile]

[weighing that for a beat before nodding]

. . . Alright. Sorry, I'm just stuck on something, but that option seems a bit extreme.

[numberedays]

Anything you're willing to share?

[He expects not, but.]

[aiwillneversmile]

Someone I didn't expect to get attached to me got attached, and now I have to figure out what to do about it.

[numberedays]

...And your mind went to messing with memories?

[Buddy,,]

[aiwillneversmile]

They have a condition where stress and anxiety cause them to get sick. Even mentioning leaving caused them to cough up blood, so . . . Yes, messing with memories seems like a valid option.

[numberedays]

There isn't any way to ease the condition?

[aiwillneversmile]

Honestly? Therapy, but I don't think that's possible here.

[numberedays]

And that isn't your area of expertise...

Well, if the memories are important to that person, I'm afraid I can't touch them anyway.

[aiwillneversmile]

It isn't in the least.

Why not?
