Summary
Herta and Ruan Mei were university students, both known for their brilliance and especial aversion to people’s company outside their exclusive circle of star researchers.
They had also been dating for eight weeks, but saw no need to inform anyone else of this.
Ruan Mei had no problem adhering to most of the stipulations in their dating contract, including the following which any sane person would have found challenging:
- 2.4 In cases of quantum-like entanglement, any attempt at measurement or interaction is considered the responsibility of both parties.
- 3.1 Neither party is permitted within 1.5 ± 0.03 metres of the other without mutual agreement, either verbal or written.

Summary
If Ruan Mei were to create life that destroyed Earth, then so much the better for universal equilibrium. It could destroy everything, except Herta. Not Herta. Like life from a zygote, what for Ruan Mei had started as barely an iota of care for Herta had expanded and expanded until it was as close to another self as could be.
