A Conversation with Eris, part VIII:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
MJD:<\/b> How many hints do I need before I get the hint?<\/p>\n
Eris:<\/b> I’ve been asking myself that exact question for months.<\/p>\n
MJD:<\/b> Hey, babe. Been a while. You’re as beautiful as ever.<\/p>\n
Eris:<\/b> I’ve been out of town, and you’re as annoyingly flirty as ever. Don’t ever go changing, Green.<\/p>\n
MJD:<\/b> You know me, babe. I only know one way to interact with people.<\/p>\n
Eris:<\/b> One of your many quirks. So how many hints does it take to get to the brain of PCtG?<\/p>\n
MJD:<\/b> You always ask the tough questions. Apparently, a hell of a lot.<\/p>\n
Eris:<\/b> What’s the issue, Green? I know you get it. Deep down, you get it.<\/p>\n
MJD:<\/b> I know. It’s just. . . so hard to let go.<\/p>\n
Eris:<\/b> Look, Greeny: you know I hate to lecture. Especially when you already know everything I might have to say.<\/p>\n
MJD:<\/b> I know. But taking the hint might mean I have to accept a reality I don’t believe I should have to accept.<\/p>\n
Eris:<\/b> I know how you feel, but look: This one isn’t interested. That one is. The other one doesn’t matter, and the fourth, well, the timing is horrible. You really only have one good route to take.<\/p>\n
MJD:<\/b> But you understand why I’m afraid of that path?<\/p>\n
Eris:<\/b> Of course. Choosing one road closes off the others.<\/p>\n
MJD:<\/b> Exactly.<\/p>\n
Eris:<\/b> But a number of roads are already closed.<\/p>\n
MJD:<\/b> I know. And I see them closed. But to say that they are closed by choosing another route instead would make it true.<\/p>\n
Eris:<\/b> It’s already true. None of them are true.<\/p>\n
MJD:<\/b> But it’s permissible that they all are.<\/p>\n
Eris:<\/b> Green, you have to make that choice. Do it now. Love you, you stubborn little bastard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
