[player] Yes, you gave me a fright.
[Yui Yagi] You're lying.
[player] You don't believe me?!
[Yui Yagi] Your acting sucks.
[-] Is that why? I immediately cover my chest and make a frightened expression, then I make an exclamation in a monotone--
[player] Oh, I'm so scared--
[Yui Yagi] ...
[Yui Yagi] ...
[Yui Yagi] ...
[Yui Yagi] That's better than before, but you can do better next time.
[-] Maybe my eyes are playing a trick on me, but I seem to see the corners of Yui Yagi's mouth turn up slightly.
[player] But... if this makes you happy, then I'll try my best to be scared next time.
[Yui Yagi] Senpai, you're so nice.
[Hinata Takanashi] Yeah, you're such a nice person.
[player] Thanks, but being told that I'm a nice person is not gonna make me happy. Let's talk about something else. Didn't you two come together?
[Yui Yagi] That's so forced. You lose five points.
[Hinata Takanashi] We came together, but we split up because Yui wanted to chat with the starfish over there for a while, and then I met you.
[player] Chatting with a starfish? Yui, do you like starfishes?
[Yui Yagi] From a nutritional point of view, yes.
[Yui Yagi] But they taste average.
[player] ... Can you comment on them from a perspective that doesn't involve eating them?
[Yui Yagi] From another perspective...
[Yui Yagi] Yeah...
[Yui Yagi] They're really profound.
[player] What do you mean?
[Yui Yagi] Starfishes recover rapidly after getting hurt and can build new tissues and organs within a few days.
[Yui Yagi] So if you cut off the feet of a starfish, you'll end up with several starfishes unless you cook them.
[-] I suddenly feel phantom pain in my arms and legs.
[Hinata Takanashi] Wow, if they can regrow that quickly, then someone who loves eating starfishes will never run out of starfishes to eat if they breed a few of them at home!
[Yui Yagi] Theoretically, yes.
[player] The starfishes didn't work so hard to develop this regenerative ability evolutionally to make it more convenient for humans to eat them.
[Yui Yagi] Do you think that starfish exist as a group or as individuals?
[player] The topic changed so quickly!
