"We don't talk about this with other people, because they would think poorly of our family, but she works on reds stuff."

"...why would they think that?"

"Because it's disgusting and choosing to do something disgusting all the time is unusual and makes people not want to associate with you."

"...is she touching them? To work on stuff to do with them?"

"No."

"...then how is it disgusting?"

"People just hate thinking about reds."

"You can't get sick from thinking!"

"I know, but it's unpleasant."

"It is very hard to understand the way other people think at times, let alone other species. But if you underestimate this you will hurt our family."

"How would I do that -"

"If you say to people that the way they think about reds is stupid and reds are fine and shouldn't die, they will assume we taught you that."

"I am a plant with amnesia from not very long ago, you can't have taught me all the things I know."

"If you think something horrifying people will still question whether we are teaching you appropriately."

Sigh.

"I'm not going to touch anything I shouldn't touch."

"Thank you. If you want, you can talk with Isel about what things you could do that would be useful for reds instead of just making everyone decide not to listen to you."

"Okay."

"It's also okay if you don't worry about it at all, you are one."

"...no."

"Yes. All of the bad things in the world are not your responsibility."

"I mean I'm not gonna not worry about it."

Sigh. "Okay. I can invite Isel over."
