conversations.prefix: Catherine:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “…Okay.” I agreed out loud, but internally, I hadn’t given up on helping her in the slightest. I tried to think how I could save her. If she couldn’t live on as a noble, then maybe she could as a commoner, or a nun in a convent?

conversations.value:  “Good grief…” After some goofing around, a sudden silence formed. Silence wasn’t particularly uncomfortable for us, given how close we were, but something about it didn’t sit right with me now. Feeling restless, I began thinking of something to say, but she broke the silence before I could. “Claire, could you grab me a candy?”

conversations.prefix: Catherine:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “…Catherine.” I wanted to insist otherwise, but I swallowed my words. I reached into the candy pot on her desk and took out two pieces, giving one to her and putting the other in my own mouth. I immediately tasted the unique flavor of licorice. “Now there’s only one piece left.”

conversations.prefix: Catherine:

conversations.value:  “Then I’ll eat the last piece myself.”

conversations.value:  “Oh dear, I wouldn’t want that. I guess I’ll just have to behave.”
conversations.prefix: Catherine:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “Indeed.” The candy’s flavor wasn’t quite to my liking, but I did enjoy making small talk with her. There was a knock at our door. “It’s me.”
