So the three of us met this morning, and Uma admitted that they shouldn't have recorded Yongki for the archive without his consent.
Then she gave him the same pitch I'd gotten, about how vital he was to humanity's survival and the ends justifying the means.
Yongki called Uma inhuman.
She asked how she could prove to him she cared, and the kid challenged her to come out drinking with us.
All night, Yongki kept clumsily trying to pry information out of Uma.
That backfired on him when she finally got tired of his badgering, and let us know how little time anyone on Earth actually has left.
After we absorbed that news, Yongki said he’d rather spend his remaining years with his family.
She told him she'll accept his resignation only if he still feels the same when he sobers up.
He swore he was going to stumble back on site and resign at the crack of late afternoon tomorrow, but I really hope he doesn't.
