[Price emits a small chuckle as well.]

Yes, he definitely needed to have someone else who would keep his impulsivity in check at all times. Despite my efforts, he still got carried away by those urges of his.

[Slightly lowers his head and hums, pondering.]

Unfortunately it seems that romance is still a needed feature. I figure it's linked to primal instincts, to associate someone with safety as a way to find an ally in them that is suitable for breeding, and empathy too is bound to play a role in it. After all, it has been scientifically proven that a bond between two strangers can strengthen by the mere coincidence of finding themselves both having a very dangerous or traumatizing experience where they end up seeking comfort in one another...Or even such a seemingly small experience like having to sleep in the same space.

[A smirk appears on his face.]

Which is ironic, given how empaths tend to call out...Those like us, for not necessarily sugarcoating the fact that it's a mere safety feature. I would love to see how a society with further integration of Artificial Intelligence would change that perception.
