week three

[handfast]

[ waddles in here

they are in the parking lot. i guess yuma is driving hak??? what are your dreams jae, i am here to make them come true ]

[isdf]

[The dream is for Yuma to drive in Purgatory.

The incessant honking doesn't bother him in the slightest. He's entirely relaxed behind the wheel as he carefully navigates the packed parking lot.]

Do you see a parking space?

[handfast]

[ does he see anything that isn't endless rows of cars tbh ]

I can make a parking space.

[ how ]

[isdf]

What do you mean?

[Is he going to divert the traffic?]

[handfast]

If you stop the car, I'll show you.

[ :) :) :)? ]

[isdf]

We haven't parked yet. I cannot stop.

[Obey the law, Hak.]

[handfast]

[ no........... ]

Just stop right here. It'll only be for a few minutes.

[isdf]

I can't do that. A few seconds are already too long. You must remain in the car with your seatbelt on until it is parked safely.

[handfast]

[ UGHHHHHHHHHH




unbuckles his seatbelt just to be contrary ]

[isdf]

[Hearing the telltale click, he glances over at Hak with a frown.]

Hold on a moment. Did you unbuckle your seatbelt just now?

[handfast]

No.


[ yes ]

[isdf]

Please put it back on.

[handfast]

No.

[ leans over to toggle the level on his seat so it reclines and he can lie down instead ]

[isdf]

Why not . . . ?!

[His eyes are on the parking lot, which continues to be filled with angry honks from other drivers, but his expression is one of bewildered frustration.]

[handfast]

Because I don't feel like it.

[ teenagers, amirite ]

Besides, you're a good driver.

[isdf]

[Hello? That's a terrible reason.]

Whether I'm good or not has nothing to do with it. The seatbelt is there for your safety. Reclining like that is dangerous.

[handfast]

But if you're a good driver, then I don't need to worry about my safety.

[ what kind of terrible logic.... ]

We're not even going that fast anyway.

[isdf]

[He just explained why that doesn't matter. Is Hak ignoring him? This level of selective hearing is worrisome.]

That doesn't matter. If someone were to run into us at a greater speed, the damage would still be considerable to an ordinary person.

[handfast]

Wouldn't it be better if I didn't have my seatbelt then? That way I could jump from the car before they hit us.

[ guy who has never been in a car before this week and therefore does not understand how car crashes work ]

[isdf]

Jumping out of a moving vehicle is also dangerous. Furthermore, you wouldn't be able to leave if the crash were to come from your side.

[handfast]

Then I would just jump out your side.

[ oh but—he sits up a little. points forward and to the left. ]

Think that guy's leaving. [ free parking space?? ]

[isdf]

[He is driving, so Hak can't jump out his side. Does Hak understand how a car works?]

I see him.

[After confirming Hak's view, the car crawls to a stop. Yuma turns on the indicator and waits. Behind them, the horns blare even louder.]

[handfast]

[ hak will be a good child again and pull his seat back up into a sitting position. mostly so he can roll down his window and stick his head out to yell: ]

Shut up! We're trying to park here!

[isdf]

[This is not the behavior of a good child.]

It's not good to harass other drivers, Hak.

[handfast]

They're the ones harassing us first.

[ he is simply retaliating? ]
