I'm thinking of a scenario similar to the way that all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. It may be that not all transfers necessitate that one person lose and another gain. But if something is stolen...that implies a loss, by definition.
[Gosh, Carmen, whyever could your thoughts be going in that direction. What an enigma.]
In your professional opinion, something like that could still be possible?
Given everything I've personally seen and encountered so far with Retrospec, that's possible. Are you worried someone's going to steal something from you?
[No. Of course not. But the last thing she wants to do right now is to confess to the opposite; she's barely willing to consider admitting it to herself as it is, much less anyone else.]
I think it's a concern worth considering, given what we know and what we've seen. Don't you?
Somewhat. Though if someone were to steal something from me, I'd have to ask to what purpose? Call it selfish thinking, but if I can't yet discern the use of what I've been given, and I'm the one with the memories, what use would it be to a stranger?

[Still, though, she looks vaguely discomforted.]
Regardless, it's only a hypothetical.
