Of course it does.

*ring* *ri- ''G-good aftern- no ma'am Lyn can't come to the phone right now, she's cooking. I know it used to be rare, I'll make a kitchen princess out of her yet. Oh, I'm sure she'd love for you to come visit. Yes, I know she often argues with you but she obviously loves you. Of course ma'am, I'll tell her to call you back.'' *click* ''In case you didn't hear, your mom is coming over next weekend and she wants you to call back.''

''Fuck. It's bad enough to argue over the phone but in person it doesn't just make me angry but guilty too. Hey how about we make out the whole time she's here, do you think that would convince her to stop sending boys my way?'' After a cute little giggle she gives you the answer you expected but didn't hope for. ''That would be very awkward and she would probably just see it as an act of rebellion on your part.''

The rest of your pasta preparation and the actual dinner are pretty silent. On your part because you spent most of the time admiring and ogling Lily and on Lily's part because she's audibly appreciating the Carbonara hmm's Yum's and all. Cooking is so much more fun when someone appreciates it. As she's eating however you press pause on the interface in the corner of your vision on to check something on a hunch. And indeed her bio mentions that she has no siblings, never had any good friends and her mother was artificially inseminated. So you were right, to keep the changes to reality as small as possible she was created with as little connections as possible. You feel a little sorry for her. Maybe you could create friends and/or family for her.
