“An open relationship?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I’ve heard those are pretty rough. Feelings of jealousy and discomfort and whatnot… Not something meant for everyone. Props, I guess?”

“Oh, it’s easy to deal with those! Just, you know, stop yourself from feeling those feelings! Repression is better than giving into toxic urges, after all!”

“Wait… What?”

“So, let me get this straight: you never talk that kinda stuff out? No communication at all?”

“I don’t understand. Communication is good. Without it, I don’t think Ripp, Phi, and I would have ever made this work.”

“Why would you be open about such possessive feelings? You are so backwards!”
