Okay. Go ahead.

[Sure, he can probably learn something from this.]

Sell it to me.

[clodcuckoolander]

[AHEM.

She's gonna dramatically anime point.]

Do you need a daily dose of interpersonal drama but find having it in your own life exhausting?

[eatsyourscience]

[He leans a little away at the pointing.]

...Sure.

[Drama free would be nice, but no, if it has to happen, it should happen elsewhere.]

[clodcuckoolander]

Then you should indulge your senses with Camp Pining Hearts. The characters are exactly like the people you'd meet in your daily life and even like you- they're just more attractive and from Canada.

[a beat] Are you enthralled yet?

[eatsyourscience]

[He's not sure if he should be insulted by the Canada part.]

I'm not sure telling him he's unattractive will get you points.

[clodcuckoolander]

[a beat.]

But he is.

[eatsyourscience]

Well...

[Okay, yeah, he is.]

But you don't say that.

[clodcuckoolander]

[wait. wait. GASP.]

Are you asking me to lie to our professor? [...why does she sound so enthusiastic about this.]

[eatsyourscience]

[Good question!]

Well...you are trying to sell him something, so embellishing it is probably expected.

[A beat.]

Plus, it's Mr. Pines. He probably lies to us all the time.

[clodcuckoolander]

[She quite literally makes a note of that.] This is incredibly valuable information.

[eatsyourscience]

[This is slightly disconcerting.]

You hadn't thought of that?

[clodcuckoolander]

Of course not! What kind of student decides to believe their teachers are lying? What would be the point of school if it's all based on lies! We should just throw our books out and just throw ourselves directly into the garbage if nothing is real.

[eatsyourscience]

I think most of it's real. I just think Mr. Pines...stretches the truth to his own benefit.

[clodcuckoolander]

Then I'll just have to use his own tactics against him! [....] Oh. Oh I understand.

That's what he wants us to do.

[Look, she's book smart. I don't know what you want from her.]

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji nods and, to his credit, manages not to look like he's about to face-palm.]

I think that's exactly what he wants us to do.
