"Hello! How are you?"

“I’m good. A little hungry, I was starting to think about causing breakfast while holding onto you. Which is much easier when I can talk.”

"Poptarts are coming soon." There they go. "Voilà."

“Oh! Good!”

They can eat poptarts together. "Psychological backlash often admits of some pushing around, if you notice any different states you can get into at the same level," he mentions. "I have to do this a lot. I don't know if you work that way."

“I’m…not sure. I can try.”

"Do you think blog posts on the topic will make sense to you?"

"I'm not sure, but it's worth a shot." 

"I'll text you some links then. If that won't mess up your shopping workflow."

“I’m not shopping right now.”

"Yes but your note referred to my most recent text."

“Oh. I…think it should be okay? My plan was already to put links there.”

"Okay." Links for Lucy.

She tries following the links. The blog posts are…befuddling, but mostly the kind where banging her head against them admits of any progress.

Pop tarts diminish into nothing.

When the pop tarts are all gone Lucy decides to give her brain a break by jigsaw puzzling some more for a while.

Much of the day can pass in this way! Perhaps basically all of it. Lunch is cold cut sandwiches.

She gets low enough on backlash to have much less trouble with the blog posts. She has…some thoughts…but it remains to be seen how well she can retain them at higher backlash, though.

Cold cuts are fine, obviously.

Cricket appears to demand attention from Haru but Haru is not spending all day hovering beyond what it took to get her talking in the morning so he is going to spend most of the day watching Avatar: The Last Airbender in his window seat.

Reasonable! It’s a good show. Her backlash doesn’t always let her appreciate most of it but she still has the opinion cached even when she can’t remember why.
