Yep! And then we came back. Hi Secchan!

TALK > Setsuko
Setsuko
how can i assist you, valued customer
Takami
Did you hear that, Mister Salaryman? You're valued!
Salaryman
...What an honour.
INSPECT > Ready-Made Meals
Salaryman
(An modest array of refrigerated and ready-made meals.)
Salaryman
Onigiri with..."Cheeze Wizz" filling?
Takami
It's basically liquid cheese! Except for the cheese part. I think it's made from fluorescent yellow acid from the river.
Setsuko
if you want to buy one, the microwave is self-service
Salaryman
...I'm good.
INSPECT > MANGA RACK
Salaryman
(Manga in the underworld, huh...)
Salaryman
"SkeletonQuest Saga, Volume 693".
Setsuko
that series really went downhill after the writing team decided to have reality itself be an arc villain
Takami
Ooh, what happens?
Setsuko
the protagonist wins
Salaryman
(...So that's why every page in the manga is blank.)
INSPECT > TV
Salaryman
'Enjoying that..."Curby" game, Miss Matsumoto?
Setsuko
kind of
Takami
You said you were doing a "pacifist run", right, Secchan? What's that?
Setsuko
you can skip the boss fights in this game by making your character clip into the stage boundaries
Takami
"Clip" into? Like a paperclip? Or a hair clip?
Setsuko
uh...basically you glitch the game and your character walks through walls and doesnt have to battle things
Takami
Oh!! So Curby's a ghost like me!
Setsuko
...close enough, i guess
Setsuko
it's already a pretty sad game, so im trying to get the good end without beating people up
Salaryman
(...She may be a bit of a grouch, but she does have a gentle side after all.)
INSPECT > SNACKS
Salaryman
(A shelf full of outlandish snacks.)
Salaryman
(...I don't know if I want to know what "Bicycle Flavour Crisps" taste like.)
