In Love's name and for Love's sake, I assert that I will employ the Art which is its gift in Love's service alone, rejecting all other usages.
I will spread joy and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what loves and rejoices well in its own way, and I will change no object or creature unless its joy and love, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened.
To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside despair for hope, and hatred for love, when it is right to do so-- Until Universe's end.

Wen Ning feels a bit over-dressed. (The pink and black button up with the flowers and the parrots is a bit showy for work, and in hindsight plausibly deniable dates).
"It's good to see you."
"You too! I like your shirt. You aren't that fashionable at all at work."
"That's cool! I'm not fashionable at all but I used to be not fashionable in a way that involved wearing a lot of T-shirts I got for free from tech companies and now I'm not fashionable in a way which involves unicorns."
"Life's too short not to wear adult sizes of clothes intended for five-year-olds!"
"Exactly," He says, only recently convinced of this philosophy.
"Has, uh, life? Been good to you recently?" Small talk is great and he loves it.
"I spent the past forty-eight hours hunting down a bug and it turns out to be because I'd written an 'and' when I meant an 'or.'"
"But I eventually got it so I'm going to celebrate this weekend!"
"That's sounds nice. Do you have any plans yet?" Look at all this small talk. He is saying words and it's mostly going okay.
"I'm going to watch my favorite six episodes of My Little Pony 'n Friends," Margot says, daring Wen Ning to criticize her.
"That sounds like an excellent plan." She's doing a thing she enjoys; he definitely has no place to criticise.
"Also only knowing each other as PinkiePie50 and bubbleteapony."
"Yeah I've... never really had a friend outside the computer screen."
"Aaaaaand saying things like that is probably why I don't have friends outside my computer screen."
