conversations.value:  “The point is, first loves rarely work out, and it’s even harder for queer people. That’s why you must prepare yourself for rejection.”

conversations.value:  “It’s okay to go off on a tangent sometimes,” Lilly comforted us while Claire and I tried to pull ourselves together. “B-but to go back to what you were just saying, Rae… Ideals don’t always line up with reality, do they?”

conversations.value:  “Th-the Church has many ideals that we would like to see made reality, but politics get in the way,” Lilly said, suddenly sounding like a middle-aged lady. “I-I believe the Church is coming to the end of its ability to work with politicians.”

conversations.prefix: Lilly:

conversations.value:  “I believe you.” Honestly, her involuntary swearing was enchanting.

conversations.value:  “Thank you so much for your hospitality, Cardinal Lilly. Please let us know if there is anything we can do in return,”
conversations.prefix: Claire:

conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  “Ch-challenge?”
conversations.prefix: Lilly:

conversations.value:  “Yes. You’ve helped us a lot, so we’d like to return the favor.”
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “Ah… That makes me so happy to hear.”
conversations.prefix: Lilly:

conversations.value:  “Don’t start making out with her,” Claire muttered.

conversations.value:  “W-well…” Lilly said. “I’m researching something I could use your help with. It’s called the Crosswise Curse…”
conversations.prefix: Lilly:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “Ohh, that’s the one that affects someone’s gender, right?” Obviously, curses and such didn’t exist in Japan, and this one in particular had some dubious implications outside of its fictional status in the game. The curse made a person appear as a gender other than their true one, and Revolution used it for comedic leverage. This frankly troubled me a bit, given some of my personal experiences…but more on that later. In any case, the topic of cross-dressing and so forth interested the game developers and the players alike—as might be obvious from the cross-dressing café we constructed at the Foundation Day Festival, where the princes took on the role of beautiful maids.
