Yeah, they're in my periphery, but it's just something to get used to.

[ Like how you forget that you're glasses the longer you wear them. He takes them off though. ]

Are you looking for a certain pair that looks good on you?

[outdistanced]

Still sounds a little annoying.

[ nods. ]

Yeah. It's surprisingly bright out here. Are beaches always like this?

[chrysanths]

A lot of us haven't been to the beach, huh.

[ That's interesting, but also. ]

Yeah, since nothing is hiding you from the sun.

[outdistanced]

Is it that common?

They could just put out more umbrellas.

[chrysanths]

... You're not meant to look at the sun directly.

[ laurence???????? ]

[outdistanced]

Wh- I'm not stupid! I didn't look right at the sun! I'm just saying there should be more shade!

[chrysanths]

Do you burn easily?

[ He slightly tilts his head while looking him over.

[ ??? ]

I don't go sticking my hand into flames, either, but I assume I would?

[chrysanths]

No, I mean... some people turn red when under the sun for a long time.

[outdistanced]

They do? Why?

[chrysanths]

[ hm.

Hmmmmmmm. ]

You get burned by the sun if you stay under direct exposure for too long.

[ Imagine combustion. ]

[outdistanced]

And it’s too hard for people to just... not do that?

[chrysanths]

Sometimes people have to stay outside for whatever reason, but mostly for work.

[ Adolphe can't mention sunbathing because he doesn't know what that is. ]

[outdistanced]

And there's no way to prevent... getting burned from the sun? I didn't know that was even a thing.

[chrysanths]

That's just a luxury at this point.

[ How long can he bullshit this without getting found out... ]

[outdistanced]

It’s a luxury to put up more umbrellas or something...? Living outside just sounds worse and worse.

[chrysanths]

[ A slow blink. ]

Where did you live before?

[outdistanced]

The Seattle Correctional Flora Tower. We aren't allowed outside without permission, so I've only been a few times, and it was at night, so...

[ never really been outside in the sun. he's only seen it through the windows. ]

[chrysanths]

[ He has no idea what SCFT is, but at least it isn't underground? He's not sure if that's any better. ]

The sun isn't too bad, actually... it's just a matter of moderation like everything else. I guess the tower has a lot of light that isn't the sun, then?

[ Artificial light. ]

[outdistanced]

We have lightbulbs, if that’s what you mean. There are plenty of windows, too, but I’ve never heard of anyone getting burned by the sun.
