    So, Grace . . .
    Gaius reminded me a lot of a certain . . . “entity” which not-too-long-ago had been the leader of a particular nation, and at the time this story was originally published, that entity had made a lifetime career of shittily treating everyone as subordinates.
    Was Gaius inspired by anyone particular, maybe?

      I cant really think of who you might be specifically referring to, after all there are many Gaius’s in our world.
      The old saying goes, “Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority, still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority.”
      Lord Acton (1887).
      But then he also said, “Subjection to a people of a higher capacity for government is of itself no misfortune; and it is to most countries the condition of their political advancement.” (1862)
      So maybe he wasn’t quite so smart , or at least so moral, as he thought.
