In this follow-up from the previous installment of our “Shades of Bae” series, we pick up the conversation from where we left off in “An Unconventional Affair”, which was inspired by Black Mirror’s striking vipers' episode, where two best friends found themselves in a virtual entanglement that rooted itself much further and deeper than either of them would ever imagine. As our conversation progressed we found ourselves unpacking what some would say, the cheater knows best. With assignations afoot, and reflections of the misplaced trust we put, with previous partners for which we have now parted ways. Removed emotionally from journeys we once took, we now convene to take a look at the nuance at play, in the many shades of bae.
