Story transcript

Sakuya: You have been watching my hands for five minutes. Is that curiosity, or some kind of hand fetish.

Kuzuno Sekai: Ha? Even if I did have a fetish I wouldn't let it be obvious.

Sakuya: Regardless. you are the first human I've met who speaks about stopping time as if it were a addition.

Kuzuno Sekai: It's a very useful addition.

Sakuya: When the world stops, the smallest sound disappears. Tea, wind, footsteps. Everything waits for me to decide what happens next.

Kuzuno Sekai: Just because something seems out of place doesn't It means every stupid decision becomes your own fault.

Sakuya: You say that with surprising honesty.

Kuzuno Sekai: Eh I have had personal experience.

Sakuya: For me, a stopped second is a room I must put in order before anyone notices it was ever untidy.

Kuzuno Sekai: For me, a second can become a week, sometimes longer. I can train, think, panic, make a plan, discard it, then make the same plan again.

Sakuya: And the countdown?

Kuzuno Sekai: Always moving when I return. Time lends me an ocean and asks for it back before I can dry off.

Sakuya: That is why I am uneasy. You are human, but your ability may interact with mine If our pauses overlap, I cannot assume which one has authority.

Kuzuno Sekai: I mean, it doesn't seem like a problem. Just ask me and I'll unpause.

Sakuya: But would you?

Kuzuno Sekai: Yes. Making an enemy with another who can stop time wouldn't be very great.

Kuzuno Sekai: Still... if I did stop time before you. I wouldn't have any trouble checking what a head-maid wears underneath.

Sakuya: That's very irresponsible and inappropriate.

Kuzuno Sekai: Pft I'm pretty sure you do things with your mistress thats not very proper when you stop time.

Sakuya: ....

Sakuya: Do it then. Press that button and soon as you had your 'fun' being a peeking tom. Soon as I notice a shift in time, you will regret it.

Kuzuno Sekai: That is the most threatful experiment invitation I've ever heard!

Sakuya: Are you asking whether I am bluffing?

Kuzuno Sekai: I'm asking whether I enjoy having all my fingers attached.

Sakuya: A practical concern.

Sakuya: Heh. Your very intertaining.

Kuzuno Sekai: And your oddly scary.

Kuzuno Sekai: Wait. Why is the clock still stopped?

Sakuya: I thought you liked having extra time.

Kuzuno Sekai: I like choosing when the extra time starts!
