[Tsuzuki reaches out to poke at the glowing barrier - it feels solid enough. But as soon as he does, text pops up on both his and Yu Junghyeok's screens:
To pass and gain a reward: Describe a moment you would want to relive. Instead of answering, you may choose to sacrifice: A piece of clothing.]
Two messages pop up: 1. To pass south and gain a reward: Describe the worst day of your life. Instead of answering, you may choose to sacrifice: The memory of it, which will eventually be returned to you.
2. To pass west and gain a reward: Describe a close companion or friend. Instead of answering, you may choose to sacrifice: Two pieces of clothing.]
So in my line of work I have a partner - Hisoka. He can be kind of quiet sometimes, but when he's mad you'll know it. [a laugh] I think he's pushing himself too hard lately, like he wants to get stronger. Like he thinks he has something to prove? Our job is dangerous already, so I'm worried he'll end up getting himself hurt.
congratulations, we have landed on a topic that will make him divert to the other thing he doesn't want to talk about.]
... Biyu. She is one of my most recent companions. We spent the past century traveling together on a mission.
She resembles a rather frustrating and annoying person, but she is also resourceful, smart, and reliable. And she also wants to keep training and becoming stronger.

Why does it want our clothes?
no subject
It better be because they're a limited resource.

Do we both have to do it?

I bet she'd be happy to hear you say that. She sounds like someone that doesn't give up.
[Then, a thought] But, wait - a century?
no subject
Give or take.
