Comic!

Comment:

Lee is referencing events of strips 225 and 288. Of course, anyone with ADHD knows that "if it were really important to you, you would have remembered" is a sentiment as cruel as it is inaccurate, but, in this case, it worked. It may help that Lee has multiple enhancements on their brain that allow them to keep track of things more easily than you or I could. It's also pretty obvious that they are approaching their relationship with both Zoa and Caleb in a transactional "push button, heart meter goes up" sort of way, which is also an inaccurate model of how attention works.

Zoa (boobs finally returning to normal size): Therrrrrre we go. Just needed a fingerhold, you can tear the rest of it away from here.
LC: Ah, that feels much better. Thank you, Zoa.
Zoa: You’re welcome.
----------------------
Zoa (adjusting itself): Now I just fix my outfit, we wait a bit for your feet to dry out before you put your hoverboots back on, and we head back to your place. Did you want to hover while I walk, or are we re-summoning that cab?
LC: Mm, there is one more thing we need, though.
Zoa: What’s that?
LC: Doesn’t your mouthsleeve need a fresh application of Yunkatsine-two-eight-three?
----------------------
Zoa: Ooh, look who’s been paying attention! How do you know what brand of lubricant I use?
LC: D-two-five-four, the apartment maintenance bot, has chemical sensors. It said you use Yunkatsine as a joint lubricant, and you mentioned earlier this morning that your joint lube is the same stuff you use for blowjobs. Dee also mentioned that you wear a scent called Magdalene and that Caleb uses Precious Elements bodywash.
----------------------
Zoa: Huh. Where’s this Lee-brain when you need to know about Greek philosophy or world politics?
LC (shrugging): I don’t need to buy Socrates a present any time soon, now, do I?
