      “You have been tested in mutual combat against our slaughterbots. You have proved your romantic and professional compatibility, and you have even proved The Monarch's innocence. Your trial is thus concluded. Now join hands. Monarch, Dr. Girlfriend, the Guild of Calamitous Intent hereby approves your application for duo-ship. I now pronounce you villain and villainess. You may kiss your queen.”
