conversations.value:  I stopped them yet again as they rapidly approached a third shouting match. Seriously, what a handful these two could be. “We don’t yet have enough information to know for sure whether to trust Lady Riche.” I kept my voice level to try to enforce calm. “Salas’s disappearance is fishy, but it’s still a mystery. Jumping to conclusions now will only hurt us down the road.”

conversations.value:  Misha and Yu listened quietly. They were both sensible people who understood my logic. But feelings could so often run counter to reason.
conversations.prefix: Misha:

conversations.value:  “I think I understand how you feel, Yu.” I continued. “You lost your freedom because of your mother. You can’t bring yourself to trust her.”

conversations.value:  “On the other hand, I don’t understand your sudden change of heart, Misha. You were never fond of Lady Riche.” Misha had even helped us break the curse on Yu in defiance of Riche’s express desires.
conversations.prefix: Misha:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “I’m still not fond of her. Even in the convent, we don’t get along. She tries to separate Yu and me at every opportunity—even compelling Yu to use her own influence to defy hers… But this can’t be right. No mother and child should have to feud like this. Lady Yu matters more to me than anything else—that’s why I can’t bear to see you estranged from your mother like this.” Misha’s true feelings spilled from her lips. “I’m not saying every family gets along. If this were someone else’s family, I’d likely agree with Yu. But this isn’t someone else. It’s Yu. And I want Yu to be happy.”

conversations.value:  “In other words, you believe Yu needs to reconcile with Lady Riche to be happy?”
conversations.prefix: I:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “At the very least, the two of us will never be happy together as long as Lady Riche stands opposed to us.”
conversations.prefix: Misha:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “So, it’s less about wanting to trust Lady Riche and more about ensuring Yu’s happiness?”
conversations.prefix: I:

conversations.value:  “Yes.”
conversations.prefix: Misha:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  Now I got it. I turned to look at Yu. “Lady Yu.”
conversations.prefix: I:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “Yes?”
conversations.prefix: Yu:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “I understand where Misha’s worry comes from now. Lady Riche is a very influential person who tries constantly to separate the two of you. You can see how this is a problem, I’m sure?”
conversations.prefix: I:

conversations.value:  Yu remained silent.
conversations.prefix: Yu:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “So now I ask you: Why do you still distrust Lady Riche? I understand you resent her for how she caged you before, but you’ve been freed. You’ve said yourself that she relented once you abandoned your right to the throne.” I still distrusted Riche myself, but Yu’s point-blank rejection of Misha’s words—to the point of having an open shouting match—was odd.
conversations.prefix: I:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “It’s because…I can’t forgive her for how she treated my dear Misha.”
