Frequent use of high heels might result in shortening of the Achilles tendon and increases the likelihood of damage to the underlying soft tissue that supports the foot. Furthermore, constraining the toes can lead to blisters, corns, hammer toes, hallux valgus, Morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis and many other medical condition. These risks are more pronounced for children.

I suppose one day will not do much harm, but—

[ A beat. ]

I cannot walk in them.

[Angela knows what those words mean but she's missing the context.]

I'm not understanding what you mean by that. You can't have friends?

I cannot get attached.

It has been known to drive hosts insane. [ And that was hosts who had experienced life and emotions before inheriting the Archive. ]

[thenormalsquint]

That's... sad. [And a lot more Angela doesn't want to burden the kid with.] So what do you do all day?

» audio

[archivy]

I play with my cats. Sometimes, I go out.

[Don't the cats count as an attachment? Angela chooses not to bring that one up.]

Where do you go?

» audio

[archivy]

[ They do. She has been getting attached despite the Archive's reserve. To some extent. ]

A few days ago I had ice cream.

[thenormalsquint]

Kid stuff and you're not insane yet. I think you're pretty safe to do it again.

» audio

[archivy]

I will. [ She has an entire book of coupons for ice cream that Jast left her. ]

[thenormalsquint]

Am I supposed to call you the Archive?

» audio

[archivy]

It is my name. Though people generally seem to prefer calling me Ivy.

» audio

[thenormalsquint]

Ivy. Of course.

[ Archive, Archiv-y, Ivy. That's what Harry Dresden had said. ]

Yes.
