I read a pre-(H)istory short story about a city made perfect, but that perfection required the eternal suffering of a child. What do you think about that?

-Cynthia

Oh... that's poignant. Did people in the story accept that suffering? Did they walk away?

-Kay

Hm? Oh, that's not what I was asking. Do you think that it would be possible?

-Cynthia

Would what be possible?

-Kay

To create "perfection" with such a small sacrifice?
