[Daniil posts live from a café near the museum. He has no patience for typing responses, and his own visage should explain why. His nose has recently been broken and reset. He looks exhausted and irritated, but he has a duty.]

I need a couple people to come down to the café near that absurd museum with the sewn up fruit exhibits. Bring a stretcher, we have a patient who could use some more urgent treatment.

[From somewhere offscreen, a voice that is distinctly not Daniil’s states:] This Etrayan shot me in an attempt to get information I did not possess. I would appreciate his removal from my presence.

Now- That’s not true at all. That is not the reason you were stopped. [Daniil now regrets making a video, but what’s done is done. ]

[On the concept of “ii”, the part of Daniil that is considering Sollux’s whole vibe and iconography wonders if he perhaps absorbed a twin in utero. He doesn’t know there’s no real utero to speak of here, but still.]

There is much to be distracted by. Perhaps that is for the best.

Cameras all around sounds incredibly useful. I wish I had such a thing to check on experiments. And my work station. I swear, the number of times someone has touched something on my desk even with explicit instruction not to truly boggles the mind. But that’s technology far beyond what I’ve ever had access to back home.

You know, we didn’t really even have electricity when I was a boy. Much has changed.

What will you do when this is all over? Getting back to normal may even be surreal.

[ Daniil you can't just assume someone has an unborn twin. ]

I’m not old. I’m young, I am simply from an earlier point in time.

[Get it right or I’ll go insane.]

They had just figured out fire when I was born. It was a really startling culture shift from caves to medical school, you see.

Is a corpse party what you call a funeral or the way you view human funerals?
