(op) I love every part of this! You lay out the consent issues so beautifully. While I don't think of Steve as insensitive to nuance or intolerant of moral complexity, I do think that he has a clear and powerful sense of Right and Wrong. If the Asset, who can't say no, is offering sexual service simply because he has to, accepting those offers would be Wrong - it would be taking advantage. But if the Asset, who can't say no, is offering sexual service because he wants to, telling the Asset that he isn't really able to want or that what he wants is somehow invalid is . . . not exactly Right. God, now I'm imagining Steve reaching a place where he's come to accept the Asset's identity and autonomy just enough to be tempted, but not yet enough to give in. I would love to watch him navigate (read: SUFFER THROUGH) this moral morass!
