I'm aware that yesterday's curse was about the prenups more than the actual marriage, but it still made me wonder:

What are your thoughts on relationships in the City, given that people might leave at any time, or return without memories? Not necessarily romantic relationships only; I'm sure the lack of stability has a similar effect on friendships.

Sometimes it's worth the pain when they leave.

Only sometimes?

Yes. I find myself trying not to get too attached to too many people here.

Because attachment might mean getting hurt?

Unfortunately.

I think attachment generally comes with the risk of pain; it just seems more pronounced here.

Yeah... The worst is going home and not remembering anything.

Has that happened to you?

Multiple times.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize. Unless you were somehow involved.

It wasn't intended as an apology so much as an expression of sympathy.

I see.

... You still don't need to apologize.

I wasn't.

I don't need the sympathy then?

All right.
