Odrett
Odrett had some free time after that, and relaxed at the lounge. His host was depressed as always.
<Try to lighten up a bit. You're beating yourself up too much, Alex.>
<Oh, I'm sorry if my mood inconveniences you, o tiny master. I just can't get over the thought that if I had been more firm about my girlfriend joining the Sharing, she would still be free.>
<You didn't know. That's kind of the point of the whole thing.>
<If I hadn't tried to save her, she would still be alive.>
<She committed suicide to prevent her reinfestation. That was her choice. Seriously, that was months ago. We cry, we mourn, then we accept. I left you to your brooding for a few weeks, but now I need you to get on my team and help me out.>
<Isn't letting you use my body without screaming profanities at you helpful enough?>
<Nope.>
<Forget it. You'll have my body, but you won't have my loyalty.>
