I can't argue with that... it sounds like a luxury to do so.
[ Imagine being able to travel. ]
But could you tell me about the things you see on your travels? I'd like to hear a story... if it isn't much trouble. I wouldn't want to keep you from eating much either.
Nah, it's no problem. Part of the fun of traveling is sharing your experiences with others, after all.
[thinks]
Let's see... One of my favourite places that I visited was the village of Clearbrook. It's a sleepy, grassy little village by the riverside, so it's big on fishing. They've got two apothecaries there too, so you know if you ever get injured or sick, you're in good hands.
Depends on the apothecary, honestly. I wasn't around long enough to ever need their services, but I heard one of them didn't even charge if you couldn't afford it.
Realistically, it likely wasn't entirely smooth sailing—but from what I could tell of Clearbrook, it was the kind of village where everyone looks out for each other. You couldn't get away with that business practice everywhere.
Mm, that's right. To think that there's a place somewhere where everyone actually looks out for each other... I wonder if this place could be like that too. I think that would be nice.
Scien, Dahut, and Owner, right? Dahut and Scien are from the same place, so theirs is probably for the same reason. As for Owner, I assume it's because he's not human, so maybe he's immortal or something.
[a beat]
He said that wasn't a secret, by the way. I swear I'm not revealing anything private.

Yeah—not to be weird, but I saw you chatting on this [gestures with his i.r.i.s.] device?

[ Right. She forgot other people could see it despite it being a public network. (???) ]
Yes, there seems to be an interesting... function. I didn't want that happen to me, so I stopped using it.

[ thanks charles she will only message people privately now. her public online presence will be erased.
But she takes another bite of the food. ]
But I'll admit that the profiles have been useful for one thing. They wrote out everyone's ages.
...
Kinda.

No, it was at least three. It's as if they weren't sure what their age was.

It's okay. I think it might as well be an open secret now.
[ At least to anyone with a semblance of critical thinking. ]
I didn't think those kinds of people would have existed, unless they underwent a distortion.

"Distortion"...?

... The easiest way I can explain it is that people turn into monsters.
