[ Sorry, Rom. It was making sure to compliment her mind the most after asking for a strategy session. ]

Grateful seems kind of harsh, but I guess maybe? It definitely helped us eliminate a whole lot of seemingly solid possibilities quickly.

[ Not at all adding to the perception that he's just in it for the strategy meet he's just going to get straight into it: ]

Harsh, perhaps -- but I don't think it's untrue. Consider: if we had gotten, say, even one light this past week, we would have wasted the failsafe that Miss Furina and Miss Ringo's pairing netted us, while leaving far too many pairings on the table as 'still being possible.' I think it's a matter of mindset. It would have left the door open for too many pairings based simply on intuition and feelings. This way, harsh though it might be, the door has been closed on several that people might have been attached to. We can make good use of it, I think.

[ Strategy is easy in some ways. It definitely would be easy to approach this entire thing as one big puzzle they have to solve without people's feelings being involved, but it seems to her like people's feelings are already involved.

No, she can say with confidence they are... ]

I get what you're saying here. If we're approaching in strictly through logic we actually lucked out big time, because we know a lot more than we would have if we'd gotten a couple of lights in the mix. Still, it feels pretty bad for the couples that people were rooting for, you know?

[ A sigh... ]

At least we can start whittling things down from here after carving out a big chunk all at once though.
