Why did you get such an easy one...

[ he sighs, sitting up. ]

[sengokus]

.... to be fair, I kind of hate not doing things now.

[so it's easy but also.

he kind of hates how easy it is because it reminds him of when he was in a much more pathetic state]

But - Gluttony, right? Maybe if you just keep sleeping you'll be... gluttonous on sleep?

[dotcom]

I usually find something to do with Sheila each week to fill the requirement.

[ it's just them sitting and trying to think of an indulgence that isn't sexy ]

[sengokus]

[oh my god]

.... uhhh.

What have you done so far? I mean oversleeping should still count....

[but he will try to help figure something out]

[dotcom]

Last week we had that big group dinner. [ it went terribly ] But before we just played DDR for hours, and the week before that we marathoned movies all day...

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . ]

That sounds pretty fun? Why are you unhappy with it?

[dotcom]

Do you know how annoying it is to come up with things we could keep up for hours? That we're both okay with doing?

[sengokus]

You could... play more video games? Share stories? Start a book club? Play with dogs? Uhh.....

Stargazing?

[dotcom]

What are you doing, planning a date?

[sengokus]

Oh!

Yeah, those would be great date ideas!

[as they hang out on a beach]

[dotcom]

[ he rubs his temple. ]

You're not going on any dates.

[sengokus]

Oh - yeah, no. Not at all.

[LISTEN he's a romantic]

But those are theoretically things you could do for a couple hours with Sheila-san, right? Or I guess we could...

[dotcom]

We're not stargazing together.

[sengokus]

It's only romantic if you make it romantic, Takeru.

[SAID SO PLAINLY]

It's one of the coolest rooms here! Besides this one.

[he just prefers the simulation of sunlight. he misses it.]

[dotcom]

I don't even mean romantically, that's--

[ through gritted teeth ]

A cute idea.

[sengokus]

[





he looks away to cough aggressively to hide his laughter]

[dotcom]

[ PICKS UP HIS PILLOW AND SMACKS HIM



it only works because pillows are soft ]

[sengokus]

[noooOOOOO HE'S JUST OUTRIGHT LAUGHING NOW AS HE CATCHES THE PILLOW]

Stop, stop - haha! I hope you get to go stargazing with someone, Takeru!

[dotcom]

I won't. Especially not now.

[sengokus]

Why not? Like you said, it's a good idea. I mean - it sounds like something you can do for a couple hours without it getting weird, right?

[dotcom]

It seems like it might be more sloth than gluttonous. You're not really doing anything.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . hmmmm. he pauses.]

Seems like a fine line....

But I can get why it'd be pretty hard to figure out then, yeah.

[but takeru needs to catch up!! now mineo is frowning because he is running out of ideas fast]

[dotcom]

And then there's the difference between gluttony and greed, which can be difficult...

[sengokus]

Gluttony is just having a bunch of stuff even though you don't need it, and greed's closer to just wanting a bunch of stuff in general.... right...?

[he has no idea. he'll just turn over on his stomach on the blanket and reach out to play with the sand]

Your appetite's not back?

[dotcom]

... I'll eat.

[ so he is no longer just eating bread, like he definitely was before, but it's fine. ]

There's just an odd feeling with it now.
