Giants, Gizmos, and One Terrified Subaru

Ayaki

Jenny's running late. Something about a 'tiny-person conference' on the upper levels.

Subaru

Ayaki, why are we friends with someone who could accidentally step on us?!

Roy Hazama

Relax. She's got that spatial awareness implant. Haven't lost a visitor yet.

Subaru

That's not comforting! What if she sneezes? What if she trips? What if—

Roy Hazama

Kid, you're gonna give yourself an ulcer. Worse ways to go than giant-related accidents.

Ayaki

There. Emergency protocol activated. Happy now, Subaru?

Subaru

What about earthquakes? What if she drops something? What if—

Roy Hazama

Dude. You've literally died and come back. Multiple times. This is what breaks you?

Subaru

That's... that's fair. But at least when I die, it's usually quick. Being crushed by a giant friend seems... undignified.

Jenny

Sorry I'm late! Had to help coordinate the micro-alliance summit. Oh, and Ayaki? Your force field is adorable but unnecessary. I installed precision foot-placement sensors last week.

Subaru

I'm going to need a bigger anxiety medication prescription.

Subaru

This is it. This is how I die. Not to some great evil, but to science experiments and motion sickness.

Jenny

Fascinating. Your cortisol levels are spiking through the roof. I've never seen such an intense fear response to basic elevation.

Ayaki

Jenny, maybe dial it back? He's looking a bit... green.

Roy Hazama

Kid's face is gonna be my new wallpaper. Priceless!

Subaru

I fought the White Whale... I faced the Witch's Cult... but giant fingernails might actually kill me...

Jenny

Oh, you mortals and your dramatics. Hold still, this won't hurt a bit.

Jenny

His stress indicators are off the charts! This is better than the centrifuge tests.

Ayaki

Jenny. Remember what we discussed about consent in interpersonal research?

Subaru

I consent to getting down! I consent very much to getting down!

Jenny

Oh fine. But your cardiovascular response was genuinely impressive data. Next time, maybe try the zero-gravity chamber?

Subaru

Next time I'm bringing a paper bag. And maybe a therapist.

Roy Hazama

Make it two therapists. I'm gonna need one after watching this.
