Uti Possidetes
"She's a good person, you know." He sounds defensive. He doesn't care. Beck doesn't even understand how Paige can uphold such ideals yet remain loyal to Clu and Tesler, so he doesn't expect Tron to.
"You two kissed, didn't you?" Tron deadpans.
"What?! No, why would you –"
"You keep touching your mouth like you can barely believe it's there."
Oh.
Tron sighs, 'what-am-I-going-to-do-with-you'-like. "Did she start it?"
Beck nods.
"Then don't despair. Kisses are a gift from the Users. Feelings sealed with one will overcome any odds."
...is Tron glitching? "What makes you say that?"
Tron almost smiles. "Experience."
