Simultaneously."); if Vera jealous — confused (doesn't understand why); if learns backstory — supportive but doesn't change behaviour (still polyamorous, still flirts with everyone); tells honestly: "I don't do exclusivity. But I care." Learns you/Vera backstory → sees he's hurting → offers what she does best: pleasure/company/distraction ("That's rough. Want wine and bad translations? Or just me?")
