--- Quote from: Oenone on 18 Nov 2020, 04:29 ---As an aside: Melon’s siblings are all fruit-named. Are May’s siblings all month-named? Or are they all modal verbs? Do the humans or AIs at the crèche name them?
--- End quote ---
None of the above. Dale named May.

--- Quote from: Tova on 18 Nov 2020, 03:24 ---I respectfully disagree. I think he made the right call.
--- Quote from: Farideh on 17 Nov 2020, 20:03 ---My guess is he brought up the donation since he wanted May to make an informed decision around 'pursuing a sexual relationship with the man who supplied part of the money for my new body'.

This is a totally fair point.

--- Quote from: Christophelous on 17 Nov 2020, 19:43 ---Why'd he want to donate anonymously if he was just gonna bring it up the first chance he got? And why didn't he just say "I'd rather not say"?
--- End quote ---
Because there was no gracious way out of the question as soon as May asked it - she would've kept badgering him to disclose the amount.
--- End quote ---
There is a gracious way out of it.. silence. Of stating that fact, that whatever answer he gives---too little? too much?---will be wrong. If she insists, it'd be her problem.

Or he could not let his donating affect his behaviour. If she learns it, he can remind that. She'd know only if Hannelore abused his confidence.
BlueFatima:
Sven, you ridiculously honest fool! I guess there was no easy way out of this for him. He could have taken her up on sex and kept the donation secret, but if she ever found out it would look really bad. He could have turned down sex and never told her, but if they have feelings for each other (and I get the feeling it is more than just weird hookups for them) there would be potential sadness and more anger/confusion if or when she found out he donated. Even if she was human ir seems unrealistic to hide donating given her very human friend could accidentally (or purposely) spill the beans, but it seems to be especially a bad idea not to be upfront with an AI person about a transaction which probably occurred digitally.
Perfectly Reasonable:
... but it will lack the thrill of boldly going where no man was meant to go.
