Lorin didn't request Lincoln to permanently remove the [Marriage Contract] and [Lover Contract] over the phone.
He just relayed opinions as tactfully as possible, suggesting that when setting rules for the virtual world, they could be more lenient and not restrict conditions so rigidly to avoid causing such intense and widespread public outrage.
An outbreak of divorces might cause very serious social problems.
Lorin also comforted Lincoln, saying: "Emotional issues are bound to have some gray areas."
At his age, he had already bid farewell to idealism.
Lincoln, of course, understood what Lorin meant.
But he didn't want to compromise.
In his eyes, infidelity is infidelity, scum is scum, there's no gray area.
If they want to flirt, keep a fish pond, look for side chicks, keep affairs, or play multiple partners, they could do it in reality.
Don't even think about doing it in the virtual world!
