Yes! Manners are very important to me.

[ lmao. lol. ]

[ kazunari believes this 100% ]

Fair and valid! I'll remember that for next time, Tsururun!

[ he doesn't even use honorifics or polite speech and yet, ]

Great.

Has this hotel been treating you okay so far?

I've stayed in better places! Buuuuut I've also stayed in worse, so it's not so bad so far. And you can't complain if you get to meet new people, right?

Everyone here has been... interesting.

[ he was trying not to say something suspect. ]

Right?! It's so fascinating to hear how about all our worlds and how different things were for us all. No two places are the same.

Yeah, but then there are also certain similarities that at first you might not even realize you are from different places.

Mm, true. That part is pretty strange. But it's not that different from having people from different versions of Japan or something like it, you know? Like the ones with time travel or special abilities.

In one version of Japan, the only difference is that everyone's nose is slightly three centimeters off center.

Eh?! But that, like, totally sets off the symmetry!

[ his artist sensibilities are OFFENDED, tsuru! ]

It does... but to them it's normal, so you just have to sit there knowing that it's all not even.

How does it not drive you crazy?! What do they think of someone like us, where it's not three centimeters off?!

[ HE IS REALLY JUST ACCEPTING THIS AS FACT? ]

That we look like freaks.

Nooooooo, that's so depressing! We look amazing!

It's extremely distressing... we'll have to cover our face.

I suppose we could use masks and tell them we're sick...?

[ they're going on a field trip now? i guess? ]

[ he is imagining the types of masks you wear at festivals ]

...

I think I can see that working.

Okay! So the first step is get masks!

[ except this is week zero though. ]

...We'd probably have to get them there, huh? I don't think the hotel has any right now.

Ah, that's a flaw in its design.

[ one of many flaws. ]

Maybe we can ask for some...

It won't hurt to try! Seems like that's the only option we've got right now, anyway.

They can't say no if it's for a good cause.

[ yes they can ]

Maybe if we promise a performance while we wear the masks? Since their priority is "entertainment" and all.

Oh, like a play?

That could work.

Yes, just like that! I'm a pro actor, too, so they'll know it'll be good.

[ he is not the scriptwriter though so who is doing that part ]

Wow! Yeah. Okay, we'll need to think of a plot line...
