I'm (extremely) mildly annoyed with Momo. She should have insisted Marigold wait and if she wouldn't wait then Momo should have decided to wait. She's supposed to help Marigold become more social and she let herself be bullied into leaving with Marigold.

As much as Momo expounds AI rights, it's kinda suspect in this situation how she submissively allows Marigold to dictate the situation and not act out her views more thoroughly in the matter, given earlier she literally forced two folks, possibly against their will, into the diner situation to make Marigold be less socially awkward. It's almost like something within her programming clicks on to "obey" Marigold.

I really wondered about that too. Maybe she's afraid of overusing her assertiveness?

Jeph said AnthroPCs don't have programmed obedience, but instead have "absolute" free will. Of course, free will might include taking on an obedient role (employee, for example).

That's the one. Sometimes, you have to be forceful to get someone to do something for their own good, but you can't maintain a friendship purely based on "When I tell you to jump, you say how high, and I administer a small electric shock". If they are resisting, you've got to let them have their own way once in a while.
