❖ video (accidental) 01

[There is this guy going around picking up every single piece of trash he sees. He doesn't seem to be aware that the video feed is on.]

There's some here too.

[Could he be a janitor, maybe?]

It'll take me all day to clean up this city.

[Cleaning up cities is totally normal.]

This would be easier if I had a broom to work with. [Pause. He's probably asking for too much.]

Well, now's not the time to complain. I'd better do a thorough job cleaning.

Someone's going to benefit from my actions. That's all that matters. Might as well make it worth it.

What economy?

This place's economy.

Wherever we are.

[This is the kind of guy you're dealing with.]

[...he actually reminds her of someone she knows.]

... You sure got your priorities straight, huh?

[is this a good thing or bad thing?]

Of course I do. I'm just taking on a task so large that it could take more than one day to finish.

In other words, my finishing goal is so far that from me that I haven't even reached the starting line yet.

[it is a very good thing! m...ostly. (protags always have to be a little weird, don't they?)]

...

Wow, uh, that's... deep?

It just means I shouldn't give up even if my goal seems far away.

See, I like that kind of thinking, but... you're probably better off using it for other things, y'know?

What kind of things?

I don't know anything about this place I'm out of the loop.

Wait, are you new?

You can say that.

How about yourself? You aren't new like me are you?

Uh... I've been here for a good two weeks or so?

Do you know what they meant by "restore color"?

I thought it had something to do with the city. So I wanted to clean it up thinking it would help.

... Yeaaaah, that's not it. It's something about... making connections and stuff...?

Connections with other people?

Or could it be the land itself? You've lost me.

I-I dunno! I'm not the one who came up with how this place works!

That makes both of us.

Don't worry, we'll figure something out.

Yeah... no use being a downer over it, right?

[Nod.]

Getting depressed over it won't help.

We have to work hard together and make sure we're safe.

Right! And I'm all for that!

Good.

Teamwork will surely get us out of here fast enough. There's no use arguing over it.

... Have you seriously gotten people arguing with you about it?

No.

I'm just saying we shouldn't waste time with pointless arguments.

Oh. Well, fair enough, then!
