The house of PUNCH

[nietzsche_waifu]

[You've been invited to the Kwan family house - which turns out to be but a small, practically arranged home. Sure, the surroundings are swarming with barely-hidden security agents and it's probably a step or two up from what a normal Gucun citizen can afford... but still, a Chairman General could live in a giant, luxurious mansion if he so desired.

He did not. And more importantly, neither did Devon - who is sitting in the living room equivalent on a simple chair, thoughtful and serious like a ruler of a vast empire in her throne room.]

You came, good. It'll be a while yet before dinner - my daughters are still busy playing outside. But I promise it will be edible.

...

Do you think I should stay here, in the State?
Give me your sincere opinion.

You're running a strange country, you know that?

[nietzsche_waifu]

Would you expect a country I'm running to be normal?

[saikyocivrobo]

I don't think I even need to answer this, do I?

Well then. Which option will it be? Stay, or leave?

[nietzsche_waifu]

It's not a choice I can make so quickly. Or haphazardly.

[saikyocivrobo]

That was a trick question, actually. If you answered it already, it'd probably mean you made a decision beforehand, and now are just asking me for confirmation.

[nietzsche_waifu]

Am I the kind of person who needs confirmation on her actions?

[saikyocivrobo]

It's the opposite. If someone thinks something you want to do is a bad idea, you're even more eager to prove them wrong.

[nietzsche_waifu]

Ha... you got a point there.

[saikyocivrobo]

Well then.

What's for dinner?

[nietzsche_waifu]

Gucun Surprise.

[saikyocivrobo]

It's going to have gunpowder in it, isn't it.

[nietzsche_waifu]

Only enough to add to the taste.

[saikyocivrobo]

I'm looking forward to it already.
