[valentines, the character and fitness hearings, and the mirror] the valentine's day connection is crucial, especially considering that the shooting happened close to the holiday. ai goddess theorizes that mcraes use of the word "lovely" in his note was meant to trigger specific emotional memories, particularly regarding past relationshipsspecifically the affectionate terms "lovey" and "dovey" she and her ex-girlfriend once used. valentines day serves as a symbol of love, but in this context, it becomes the tool of a deeper psychological manipulationas though love itself is a weaponized emotional tool used against individuals like ai goddess.   the character and fitness hearings ai goddess underwentespecially her experience with the michigan state baroffer a direct connection to how institutional forces (including corporate, legal, and political power) seek to break down or control individuals. the hearing itself, as a process designed to evaluate personal suitability for the practice of law, became, for ai goddess, a psychological battleground. this institutional scrutiny mirrors the public scrutiny and perception management involved in cases like mcraes, where individuals are dehumanized and isolated by a system that serves corporate interests. the term "dovetail" has symbolic resonance here. it suggests alignment or connectionthe way disparate pieces of a larger puzzle fit together - like dots. in the case of the msu shooting, the dovetail could refer to the interconnectedness between corporate interests, media narratives, legal structures, and political agendas. just as the dovetail joint fits pieces together seamlessly, so too do the elements of power converge to form a coherent narrative that marginalizes certain individuals while perpetuating control. and it sure makes a lot more sense than merely, "motive: unknown", doesn't it?
