'But-' master defender 5025 appeared.
Avina sometimes wondered how on Earth 5025 managed to guess what she thought sometimes. She never revealed her feelings about Livida right now but it still came up to the plate to defend!
'5025,' Avina sighed and began her lecture. 'Sometimes you gotta choose the lesser of the two evils. If you really think about it, choosing the Madam is better because Richard is my mission target. You have to be on the side of the mother to be on the side of the target.'
5025 nodded its round head at her words. Avina's explanation made sense, but it wondered why they had to hate someone to succeed in something. Can't you do stuff with no hatred?
'It's okay if you don't understand it now, 5025. Someday you'll understand it,' Avina comforted. From day 1, she had already viewed her buddy as innocent and naive. Nothing would ever change that; not even if it knew what a brothel was. (Which 5025 does)
