Really, Robin, condemning her to be the center of that "rivalry", you might as well be putting a noose around her neck. Like, look, she loves Nero.

But it would take a love bordering on the masochistic to want to hear that woman sing. And... well, that's just not her dynamic with Nero. As for Liz... Well, she's got reservations for a whole host of other reasons with her.]
