#issue 79

Yor: "R-Roid works hard sho we can live a comfurble life..."

Camilla: "No one care how 'confurble' it is. This is a gripe session, so make with the gripes!" *I want so badly to hear you say your marriage sucks...*

Millie: *I want so badly to tell you to dump your hubby...*

[List of Loid being Best Boi]

Camilla: "I know what this is--He's running some kind of marriage scam. He's conning you, Yor!"

Millie: "Yeah, that! Dump him before he swindles you for all you have!"

Yor: "N-no! That ishn't true! (I'm the one who's scamming him...) Ish...having gripesh about your partner normal?"

Camilla: "YES! HARD YES!"

Millie: "You're only lovey-dovey in the beginning."

Sharon: "It's all the more normal when you live together."

Camilla: "Like when Dominic and I have a date, and he shows up 20 minutes late and just goofily laughs it off. I could kill him dead on the spot."

Sharon: "I feel the same way when my husband wastes a bunch of money or starts giving me excuse after excuse..."

Millie: I know! When my partner starts bad-mouthing all of my interests, I just wanna stab him right in the heart!

Drunk Yor: *What's thish?! It'sh like dating and marriage turnsh every pershon into an assassin! Why didn;t the Shopkeeper tell me marriage would do that?! Is what's shtrange about me jusht that I was a killer before I got married? What should I do? Should I tell Camilla and the othersh about Thorn Princes...? No, I can't do that. Calm down, Yor.*

[Proceeds to dream about asking Shopkeeper to kill off Loid to keep the illusion of normalcy, and then somehow imagines Twilight Loid and Thorn Princess fighting, as if killing him is literally the only moment they could reveal themselves to each other. And has to snap out of it by the picture of Anya crying for them to stop fighting.]
