This is the question Antonio left you in the previous interview: pick a Premodern player from the LCOS to marry, another to sleep with, and another you would kill. I don’t have to answer this one, do I? Hee hee hee.
I marry Yuse, I sleep with Edu and I kill Roso.
And finally… ask whatever you like to the next interviewee!
