we'd argued at her birthday dinner because she wanted her ai companion to deliver a dramatic toast. i said a ten-minute monologue might be a little much for a restaurant full of strangers
the next morning i received a carefully worded apology from the character, explaining that he never intended to disrupt the celebration. i appreciated the thought but wondered why my sister hadn't written me directly
