As a lover and maker of fashion, Crystal talks about what makes both fashion and art in general meaningful to her. The conversation at first seems to hint at her thinking that something is art because it is emotional and makes her feel a certain way, and Resident Philosopher Rubner comments on that: he points out that she seems to think art is art because it is emotional, and not cognitive. At the end, Andrew stops and reflects on the general point that the divide between thinking and feeling is perhaps artificial and the two are not mutually exclusive. Summarizing a point he saw repeated in all the conversations of the day, he finishes by saying that in the imaginative process, you first see things in the world, you think about it, and then you create art about it afterward. It involves both thinking and feeling.
