"Everyone starts as a pigeon."

"Even you?"

"Not that you can prove."

"Keep your secrets, then."

"I always do."

"You're definitely not going to beat me to them, either way."

"Keep secrets from your own followers, then?"

"I maintain a multilayered incentive structure."

"It's practically enrichment."

"I shudder to think how much more trouble you would get in without it."

"You're doing the world a public service, keeping me entertained."

"Saving it from destruction."

"I wouldn't destroy it. That'd be boring."

"I think a lot of people would consider the totality of your changes tantamount to destruction."

"Boring people."

"Perhaps."

"Sounds reasonable to me."

"What do you think, Jesper?"

"I think the world would be a much more entertaining place if Inej was unleashed on it."

"Seems we have a consensus."

"Doesn't mean you're free to just stop entertaining me, though."

"Perish the thought."

Giggle.

"Excellent. I'd have so much trouble providing myself as much enrichment as you do, after all."

"You'd have to make me an exception in your changes."

"I won't mess things up for you, don't worry."
