To the List,
By chance I picked up a book on the history of syphillis at the library yesterday. It strikes me that in Ada physical illness is affiliated with age but not with promiscuity. I wonder why.
I have felt that Aqua's mental illness was probably poison-induced (the vomiting). But I wonder if one of the snakes in the family tree might not be venereal disease. . .
