Summary
“I say,” Alhaitham begins, “that if A implies B, and A is true, then B must also be true.”
Kaveh blinks. “...What?”
Alhaitham, calmly: “Let A be: Kaveh is irrational. Let B be: I am still fond of him.”
Pause.
Longer pause.
Very long pause.
Kaveh blinks again, like trying to reboot. “You absolute ass. Was that supposed to be a confession?!”
“It’s a syllogism,” Alhaitham says, deadpan.
“IT’S A DISASTER,” Kaveh shrieks, nearly falling off the table. “Who flirts in syllogisms?! Who—who—expresses affection through deductive proofs?!”
“I’m not flirting,” Alhaitham lies.
Or, maybe love was never supposed to be quantified, but Alhaitham tried anyway—and Kaveh, infuriatingly, kept skewing the data.
