There are people who write to imprisoned serial killers with offers of marriage. It's not just fanbrats who think stone-cold bastards can be reformed with a little love. People don't view the world clearly and cleanly, they view it through a filter of their own priorities.

I don't think it's that improbable that Prime's "domestic squabble" statements could get picked up by someone. He's said it more than once, one time in the middle of a public area.

Well then, yes, you've rather gotten the point before reading the story, so it probably does feel a bit like I've clubbed you with something nasty. Sorry about that.
