... correct! That would be terribly boring, wouldn't it?

[ They're briefly interrupted here by the waitress bringing them the extra plates he'd ordered. Rom accepts them with a thanks, before promptly dumping the fresh order of meat into the broth -- half into Edamura's side, the rest in his. To make up for what Edamura had prepped for him at the start. ]

But you do believe me now, I see. You should be careful not to get scammed by any sleazy people in the future, okay? -- ah, I am the real deal, for the record. But just a precaution you should probably keep in mind for the future. It'd be a terrible shame if you signed up for freelance work from the wrong client and came out of it missing a kidney, after all!

[AND NOW WE IGNORE ALL THE SHOKO STUFF THAT AL FOGOT TO REMOVE FROM HER TAG--]

[Edamura looks a bit surprised when Rom shares the meat with him, but hey! he also is not complaining. he'll let a few pieces simmer before he starts picking them out one by one, piling them atop his mound of half-eaten rice]

You worry too much. I can recognize a scam artist from ten miles away, Shindou-san.

[jabs his chopsticks at Rom]

The only reason I'm convinced you're real is because of all of the other weird stuff happening, here!

[and even then he is still holding out for the "drugged and kidnapped" theory]

[phenomerom]

[ He just smiles at the chopsticks pointed in his direction. ]

There certainly are a lot of interesting people in our group, aren't there. [ 'Interesting' is a gross understatement. He hums in thought as he fishes the meat from his side of the pot one by one. ] I might have some familiarity with strange happenings, but it's been a lot to adapt to even so ...

[ A thoughtful hum. ]

Do you think you'll be able to return to your normal life after this? After encountering so much 'weird stuff?'

[ordimame]

[there's that word again. . . interesting]

[Edamura's response is bland and quick]

Absolutely not.

[how can anyone go back to being JUST A NORMAL GUY after seeing the things they have seen on this show??]

Not that any of this weirdness exists back home, but I'll be thinking about it when I'm lying awake at night. Staring at my ceiling.

Wishing I had seen none of it.

[that last part is a joke]
