"What would that even mean."

"Well, I dunno, that's why I'm asking."

"If sunbae's body is thirty-three and fucking is nineteen and perversion is twenty... six? Seven? Then probably one point of lust from eight to nine would be hard to notice."

"And what does that scale mean," he sighs.

"I think you can probably figure it out."

Well, he doesn't feel any more "lustful" or "seductive", so he has no idea.

"Oh, got a response," says Tae-hwan, reopening his commscreen.

And Tae-gun got a notification. His dungeons for tomorrow are being cancelled and... Seo Tae-hwan is meant to have more information?

"HQ wants the two of you to self-isolate for twenty-four hours and report anything weird that happens and if you leave the silo you'll be considered to be compromised and—"

"—you have cameras in your silo, sunbae?"

"...yes."

"Everywhere?"

"Yes!"

Why him.

"Wow. I guess I see where that high perversion score comes from, now."

"Anyway, HQ says that you should set the presence detector in your silo's cameras to track both of you and notify them if anyone else arrives or either of you leaves and presumably they also get notified if you disable that? Sunbae, why—"

"That topic is off-limits."

"...damn, ok."

"Well, if the game isn't going to intercept us then that's probably... fine...?"

"Does your thing say anything about guiding me? I'm still, uh..."

"It doesn't. I assume it doesn't want me to hang out with you guys much longer due to risk of contamination by whatever this is?"

Sigh.

"So if everyone's okay with it I'ma go. Sorry, hyung."

"No, this is sensible, and your idea of writing a report was good, too."

"Yeah. But hey, if this game is real life's about to get a lot more interesting. See you later, sunbaenim!"

He requests a teleport and vanishes.
