I wonder if Kate would like opera’s too. Maybe even plays but it would still be audio-only. Either way, it’s a good way for her to interact with the micros without actually talking to them.  

Anyway it’s a good development for Kate. I didn’t think it was rushed. But I suspect this is going to cause problems for her since actually caring about micro’s is borderline looked down upon with the other caretakers sans a few.

I didn’t expect you to leave us on a cliff hanger. Gary’s probably a care taker that shrunk before the lock down like Rachel’s ex-husband did.

Finally you didn’t need to be so foreboding with Gary potentially dying >.< I hope Kate doesn’t have to scratch her ears or anything. 

 

Author's Response: I thought about that, but... even with (spoilers) it would be impractical for her to understand what is going on. Keep in mind that we have decades of being used to different aspects of culture - from internet and television to theatre, opera, ballet and more. The more abstract forms would take a very long time to catch on, music seems more "natural" - and even then I feel like I am already stretching it, but it feels emotional and at least feasible. If any paleoneuroscientist knowing much about the origins of music enjoyment is reading this, he/she could probably enlighten us, but otherwise...

Well, You did not have to spoil it for everybody... Fine, it was obvious.

I guess we will have to wait for him to tell us about that. And what husband? Lauren had a boyfriend, I do not recall giving away any other details on their marital status - is this another one of Your premonitions? :>
When it comes to Gary.. obviously You guessed wrong - or at least incorrectly, such simple explanation would be silly - how can You suspect me of coming up with a trivial reason like that to turn the story around... seriously, there must be something more going on than that and he should really tell Kate about it. Especially how at his current situation it does not seem like he has much choice... or has he! *dun dun DUN!!*

On the other hand I do not want to break my habit of killing all the named little people...

By the way - five stars from You.. I am honored!
