Game hits you in the face right from the start. Dad is dead, you hated his guts, thought that would be the moment you breathe easy, and instead you walk straight into this rotting corporate circus he left behind. Whole thing feels like someone mashed a late night office drama with porn and then sprinkled in jokes that maybe you shouldn’t laugh at, but you still do. You play this guy who is finally “free”, except not really, because every time you click something you discover another way your old man fucked your life from beyond the grave. One moment you’re staring at spreadsheets and company reports, next moment you’re getting a blowjob in a glass office where anyone could walk in, and the game just treats both scenes like they’re equally normal. It’s not subtle. It’s not trying to be smart. But there’s this weird undercurrent of “this is kind of sad, actually” that sneaks in under all the sex and stupid jokes. That mix is what works here. Or doesn’t. Depends what mood you’re in.

What I liked a lot is how the story keeps switching gears. You’re arguing in a boardroom about who really owns what, everyone lying, everyone smiling, and then you go home and suddenly the family shit starts. You think it will be some cozy healing stuff, but nah, it’s pure tension, people holding grudges, some of them clearly using you, some maybe wanting to help, but nobody is clean. The MC will crack a joke right after a heavy reveal, and in same evening he’s going down on a girl in an office chair while worrying about inheritance. The sex scenes themselves are pretty blunt: vaginal, oral, messy, a lot of looking at each other in awkward positions that feel more human than “perfect porn angles”. Sometimes the pacing is a bit off, like you get a huge mystery tease about what your father really did, then the game just throws a goofy scene with you accidentally walking in on someone changing clothes, and that clue you cared about kind of floats away. Also, the UI pissed me off once because I misclicked during a serious conversation and jumped into a scene I wasn’t planning to see yet, and yeah, I never fixed that save. Still, the vibe of this one is: broken family, fucked up office politics, dark jokes landing in the worst possible moments, and you trying to enjoy the sex while wondering if you’re turning into the same kind of asshole your father was. And somehow that’s hot. And depressing. And funny. All at once.

Beth is locked out of her hotel room...naked. Your job is to help her make the right choices that'll lead her to clothes without getting arrested or being seen by too many people in a short Choose-Your-Own-Adventure game with 3D Images.

Includes Miku's Strip Trivia Night.

This thing feels like someone smashed a horny VN with a petty revenge fantasy, sprinkled in a bit of Death Note brainrot, then left it in the oven a little too long. You play this smug, bitter dude who calls himself “Koibito”, which is already a red flag, and he gets his hands on a pink notebook that lets him rewrite people’s feelings if he knows their secret trauma. Not “oh no, she stubbed her toe” trauma, I mean actual deep shit. Abuse, shame, fetishes, all the broken stuff people bury and pretend isn’t there. You write her name, write the wound, then basically script her love life like a horny Google Doc. The wild part is how the game jumps from mystery tone to “ok now she’s on her knees” in like two clicks, and somehow it kind of works and kind of feels wrong in the way you open a private chat from years ago and hate yourself but keep scrolling anyway.

Sex-wise, it’s very direct. Big tits, big ass, camera not shy at all. When a girl gets rewritten, her whole vibe changes. One scene you’re watching this serious, sharp-tongued woman tear Koibito apart with words, next scene she’s bent over a desk, eyes glassy, moaning his name like he’s the only person in the universe. Vaginal, riding scenes, faces smashed into pillows, that kind of thing, with those 3D character models that sometimes look incredible and then from one angle the boobs sit like two bowling balls and you wonder if gravity died. The female domination moments are surprisingly fun, too. There are times where Koibito thinks he’s in control and the woman just flips it and sits on his face like he’s furniture, or pins his wrists while still technically being “under” his command. That power struggle has real teeth. It doesn’t feel like soft, fake femdom; some of the girls feel genuinely dangerous, especially this goddess thing hovering around him, watching like a cat staring at a mouse that already lost.

What caught me off guard is the humor. For a dark “rewrite her heart and fuck her” setup, the game throws in these petty, stupid jokes, like Koibito overexplaining why he’s not a creep while literally being the biggest creep in the room. There’s a reference to Tinder that made me choke on my coffee, because it hits a little too close. Also I opened Discord mid-game, totally forgot the window capture was on, and alt-tabbed back to a scene where a monster girl is riding him, drool and cum everywhere, and her tail is moving like it’s got its own agenda. Spent a full minute just staring at the tail animation like “who the hell coded this and why did they put so much effort into this part specifically”. That’s kinda the game in a nutshell: some details are weirdly polished, like tongue movement when she’s licking the tip, or the way her ass jiggles when he pulls out, and then another detail feels half-baked, like a facial expression stuck between horror and horny. The mystery side slowly builds around this detective, Leonor, who’s trying to track what Koibito is doing, and honestly she might be the hottest one just because she looks like she’d step on your neck without the help of any magic notebook. The choices feel heavy when you realize every command is basically you deciding how broken you want these women to be, but most of the time your monkey brain just goes “ok, now make her strip and beg for cock.” It’s wrong, it’s messy, it’s kind of fascinating, and I already know I’m not changing a single fucked up thing about it.

Back to the old town, back to the same boring streets, same ugly supermarket, same shitty laundry basket that never gets empty, but suddenly you have this one thing on your phone that is absolutely not boring at all. You play this guy who comes home after being away, supposedly more “mature”, but honestly he is still a horny idiot who stares at big asses like a teenager. And of course the first person he reconnects with is the “very close” girl from his past, who is not really just a girl, if you know what these sites like. Thick tits, big ass that looks like it exists only so someone can spread it and go straight for the backdoor. She starts all innocent, almost shy, like she’s still this pure thing, and you can just feel the game waiting for you to ruin that nicely. Corruption here isn’t instant, it’s this slow slide where one day she blushes when you watch her bend over, and later she is grinding on your lap while pretending she doesn’t know your cock is hard under her. Sometimes she plays dumb, sometimes she gives you this side look that basically says “yeah, I know what I’m doing, keep going.”

The thing that actually killed me is how much the nerd friend on the phone sounds like that one guy in every Discord who never touches grass but somehow knows every porn trick possible. He keeps texting and calling, throwing advice like “no no, you need to get her used to fingers first” or “she’s still a virgin there, take it slow.” Half of the time I had to pause because my kid walked by and this bastard is yelling out of my speakers about lube. The game is a sandbox but not this stupid empty one. You wander around town, you check your phone, you trigger events, you mess up dialogues, go back, try to be more dirty or more sweet. Sometimes she reacts better when you push a little, sometimes she shuts down and you gotta dial back and pretend to be a good guy. And when it finally goes to anal, holy shit, they go all-in. Animated scenes that actually move, not just lazy loop, and the sound is filthy. Squishy noises, panting, that breathy “it hurts… don’t stop” mix that hits straight in the brain. Creampie in her ass looks thick and sticky and wrong in the most perfect way. I was sitting on my chair like a teenage boy hiding Pornhub on second monitor while my washing machine is screaming in the background.

I liked how she still acts like a good girl on the surface, wearing normal clothes, not this plastic pornstar style, but the more you push, the more she starts asking for it. One time I picked the more “respectful” option and the game still twisted it so she ended up with her ass high in the air on the couch, saying something like “if it’s just there, it doesn’t count, right?” and my brain just shut off. The twins in this are… wait, I actually wanted to complain about something. Yeah, the phone sound when the nerd calls is annoying as hell, this sharp little ping that woke up my screen while I was trying to sneak a quick session in the kitchen with Spotify still running in background. Had to alt tab from Chrome so fast I almost closed the whole thing. I wish there was more difference in how she walks after you wreck her ass, she acts totally normal even after you stretch her wide open, like “ok, thanks, I’ll go make coffee now,” which is bullshit but also kind of funny. And I still keep opening it again, saying “only 5 minutes” between chores, then I’m back making choices about where to cum, on her tits or stuffed inside her ass, pretending this is just “checking something quickly online.” Anyway, if you like that feeling of taking someone who starts as a shy, almost proper girl and slowly turning her into your anal addicted toy while some perverted friend on the phone cheers you on, this thing hits way too hard. Dare to play it alone, or invite company?

Game feels like someone took a normal horny road trip fantasy, forgot the brakes, and then just kept pressing the gas while laughing. You start as this dude who is way too confident for how messy his life actually is, stuck in a car with people you probably shouldn’t be left alone with, especially not overnight and definitely not with alcohol in the mix. It has that “this is a bad idea but I still click yes” vibe. Half the time you’re choosing between being a pervy asshole or pretending to be a decent human, and the game kind of rewards both in different ways. It leans into point of view a lot, like the camera is glued to your eyeballs, so when someone bends over in front of you, it’s not subtle. At all.

Stuff escalates pretty fast. One moment it’s jokes and stupid banter, next you’re watching someone’s girl doing things she really shouldn’t be doing where everyone could see if they turned their head a little. The voyeur bits hit hard because they’re not super theatrical, more like “oh shit I shouldn’t be seeing this but I’m still watching” and the game knows exactly that feeling. There is cheating, there is straight up humiliation, and sometimes both in the same scene. Got one run where I tried being nice and careful and still ended up sitting there like an idiot while the woman I was trying to “protect” got railed by another guy in the next room, with a door that really should have been closed tighter. Audio and facial reactions go pretty far, like the exaggerated ahegao faces make it just cartoony enough that you’re not taking it too seriously, but it’s still hot. And sometimes kind of fucked up. In a good way, mostly.

What I like is how the game lets you flip between being in control and getting totally owned. Some routes you’re the one pushing her against the car in a dark parking lot, making her stroke you while she’s terrified someone will drive past, and other routes you suddenly find yourself on your knees, or getting talked down to while she rides someone else and looks at you like you’re furniture. There’s this older guy character who shows up in some paths and every time he appears, shit gets more intense. He has that big “I know exactly what your girl really wants” energy, and if you lean into the darker choices, you can just let him corrupt everything while you watch, hands tied metaphorically or not. The mix of anal, oral, creampies, all that, it’s not thrown randomly, it sort of matches the mood. Like if things get more degrading, the sex gets rougher, dirtier, more public. Humor keeps it from feeling too heavy, lots of dumb jokes and weird dialogue, but then there’s those moments when the punchline is you losing someone, or letting them be taken right in front of you, and the game doesn’t stop to comfort you. If you want the spiciest content, pick the options that feel wrong, choose the detours, let the jealousy burn a bit, and never trust a “harmless” stop on a long highway.

Truck-kun hits again and boom, you wake up broke in a trashy fantasy world, with a body that actually works and a bunch of gorgeous girls who legally count as your property. Not heroic party members, not “companions”. Slaves. The kind of setup old eroge hinted at but never really went all-in with. You’re the guy in charge, the male lead, the one who gets to fuck, punish, comfort, and “train” them, while also trying not to starve to death. It’s this weird mix of anime isekai gag and grimy brothel management, except instead of nameless clients and dull menus, you’re face to face with the same girls over and over, learning what makes them moan, what makes them cry, and sometimes both at the same time. The game doesn’t pretend you’re a saint either: you’re poor, you’re horny, you love big tits and big asses, and you’re not shy about filling every hole. Vaginal, anal, sucking you off under the table, POV shots of you emptying inside them till it drips out. Lots of creampies, like someone in the dev team grew up pausing old hentai VHS just to stare at the white mess.

What really got me was how it swings between romance and straight-up filth without warning. One scene you’re gently comforting a shy “trap” who looks better in a dress than most girls, trying to ease his insecurity while still grabbing his ass. Next moment you’re pushing a milf against the wall, her tits spilling out, face twisted in full ahegao while she begs for more. The girls feel like a mix of old-school hentai archetypes: clingy little sister type who really, really shouldn’t crawl into your bed but does it anyway, mature milf who pretends she’s above prostitution and then starts grinding on some old guy because you told her to, tall futa who is both your rival and your toy. And since the story is openly netorase, the MC is the rare degenerate who actually enjoys seeing “his” women fucked by other men. Not cheating, not humiliation, more like he sets up the scene, watches from the shadows or right up close, and jerks off while the girls moan someone else’s name, then he still finishes inside them after, marking them again. If that idea makes your stomach twist, this is not a game that will “convince” you. It just assumes you’re the kind of pervert who sees your slave getting railed by two guys and thinks, “Nice, now I don’t have to warm her up.”

There’s humor sprinkled between all the filth, the kind of dumb fantasy jokes that feel like some 90s otaku brain never updated: jokes about slimes, about guild quests, about “ancient evil” that keeps getting pushed aside because someone needs money for new underwear. Half the time the protagonist talks like an overconfident dilf in a doujin, half the time he’s a broke loser jerking off in a corner while his girl earns cash on her knees. Sometimes that contrast is hot, sometimes it’s just awkward, but that awkwardness is oddly nostalgic to me, like those old pc games where tone changed panel to panel. Scenes are animated enough that blowjobs and group sex feel messy, with bodies moving and faces reacting, instead of just still images. Watching a full harem pile-up, girls on top of girls, a futa pounding some poor slave while your POV is buried in milf ass in front, feels like catching a lost episode of Bible Black someone remade with modern tools and less shame. You’ll catch yourself thinking “this is too much”, then immediately clicking the next scene to see your favorite girl spread again for a stranger while you stand there, smiling like a proud owner.

Everything in this game starts in such a painfully normal way that it kind of hurts more. Just a guy, absolutely obsessed with his girlfriend, like "she is my whole world" level, the kind of dude who keeps cute couple pics in a hidden Telegram folder and thinks that makes him lowkey romantic instead of a clown. Then you walk into the living room and she is there with another man, not even trying to hide it, like this is a casual Tuesday. That first scene feels almost boring visually, but the timing of the voice lines and the silence between them, that stuff hit me harder than any fancy effect. His voice cracks when he tries to sound calm, like he wants to say "what are you doing?" but it comes out half breath, half broken laugh. And her tone is not cartoon evil, it’s soft and a bit annoyed, like he just interrupted a Netflix show. That tiny detail made the whole thing feel way dirtier than if she was just yelling "you’re useless." I’m a VA nerd, so I notice where they cut the breath sounds, and here they leave them in, slightly messy, like a real cheap porn audio, but somehow it works. I had my headphones on and legit felt uncomfortable in a good, fucked up way.

Once his whole impotence thing starts becoming a real plot point, the game leans hard into teasing and humiliation, but it doesn’t scream it at you. She starts talking to him differently. There is this one scene where she’s sitting on the couch in just an oversized t‑shirt, legs bare, feet in his lap, and her voice goes all sweet while she is casually stroking the other guy with her toes, not even looking at him. Voice actress there nails this fake girlfriend tone, like "you know I still love you, right?" followed by a moan that is very clearly not for him. I paused the game and actually replayed that line in VLC just to study the drop in pitch when she says "love". It’s not clean studio quality, you can hear the room, maybe a cheap mic on OBS or something, and I weirdly liked that more. It gives this voyeur vibe, like you’re hearing something from a neighbor’s wall instead of a polished hentai OVA. At the same time, sometimes the male moans from the bull feel copy‑pasted between scenes, which pulled me out of it once I noticed. Now I can’t unhear it and it annoys the hell out of me, but I kept playing anyway, so I guess that says something.

Later parts go pretty hard on the whole psychological spiral. The protagonist’s internal voiceover shifts from shame to this creepy acceptance way too smoothly, and that is where the multiple viewpoint thing kicks in. Hearing her thoughts while she’s getting pounded in the bedroom, knowing he is in the hallway "guarding the door", is wild. She’s thinking about how small his pride feels now, while her actual voice is all breathy and playful, half laughing when the other guy tells him to come closer and watch. And there is this balcony scene that got stuck in my head: she makes him stand outside while she rides the guy on the sofa near the window, telling him in this light, joking tone to "keep an eye out for neighbors", and the actress throws in these tiny giggles every time the couch squeaks louder. It sells the exhibitionism perfectly without needing some huge monologue. Also, I’m not even a big foot guy and still the way she uses her feet on both men, with those smug little comments, made me go "ok, maybe I get it now". The whole thing is messy, sometimes the timing is off, one transition cut is brutal as hell and made me laugh, but the rawness of the voices, the awkward breathing, the moments where someone talks over someone else and they didn’t edit it out, that all makes the NTR hit much harder than some ultra-polished VN with sterile moans. It feels like listening to a relationship slowly rot in your ear, and yeah, that’s exactly as hot and as miserable as it sounds.

The sky in 2059 is this ugly, sick orange, like somebody pissed on the sunset and never cleaned it. You play a guy who basically grew up in that shit, no nostalgia for the old world, no “remember when we had internet” crying. Just concrete bones of cities, blown-out highways, and horny, desperate survivors who learned pretty fast that a hard cock and a sharp weapon can both save your life, just in different ways. The whole thing is built around trying not to die while everyone around you is trying not to wear clothes. You wander through ruined malls that look like war museums, find half-melted billboards with smiling people from before, and then two minutes later you’re in a scav camp where some big-titted raider queen is laughing while she makes a guy strip naked in front of everyone because he lost a bet. She tells you to choose if you wanna join in humiliating him, help him, or just watch and jerk off behind a broken vending machine. And the fucked up part is that all three options feel valid.

What sells the game for me is how it mixes “oh shit I could die” with “oh shit I’m hard” in the same scene. Like you’ll be low on food, trading bullets for a place to sleep in an underground bunker, and the guy in charge says the only open bed is already taken by his sister. You expect some cliché, but she’s the one who looks you up and down, this tall woman with thighs like she squats cars, and asks if you have any “special talents.” You can brag about your combat skills, or you can say something like “I’m good with my hands.” That tiny choice flips everything. In one route she tests you in a training room soaked with blood and sweat, in another she just grabs your belt, shoves you against the wall, and makes you prove it with her tits bouncing in your face while her brother “guards the door” and politely pretends he doesn’t hear her moaning loud enough to wake the dead. It’s gross. It’s hot. It’s weirdly funny. And somehow you still care if your character survives the night and doesn’t bleed out later in some sewer tunnel full of feral mutants.

There’s this scene that stuck with me where you’re escorting a small group through a ruined overpass. Wind howling, chunks of car skeletons everywhere, that feeling that someone is watching. You can choose to sneak slow and careful, or move fast and loud to scare off scavengers. I picked fast, like an idiot. Snipers open fire, one of your companions gets her leg shot and you have to drag her into cover. She’s this smug, curvy trader who kept flirting with you earlier, joking she’d “pay in kind” if you helped her find a safe town. When the bullets stop and it’s just the sound of her breathing hard, she asks you to cut her pants open to check the wound. You kneel between her spread legs, knife in hand, and instead of panicking she starts teasing you, saying “You’re blushing more than I’m bleeding.” You get this choice: focus on first aid like a good little boy, or let the tension flip into something filthy right there behind a burned-out truck. If you go lewd, you’re literally eating her out while she winces and laughs, leg wrapped in a bloody bandage, telling you to go faster before someone spots you. It shouldn’t be sexy. It absolutely is. And somehow that moment changes how she talks to you later when you run out of supplies and she offers to “share body heat” in a cold storage room that’s definitely not cold anymore by the time you’re done. The game keeps doing that. Serious survival, then stupid horny, then a joke about pre-war porn nobody gets anymore, then someone’s brains explode on a wall. It’s messy, and that’s exactly why it works.

You start as this worn out taxi guy who looks like he slept in the backseat more than in a bed, and honestly, he kinda acts like it too. Long shifts, shitty tips, sick mom at home, and a brother who treats responsibility like an optional DLC. At first the game almost feels too normal, like, alright, another day, another drunk passenger who smells like cheap vodka and regret. Then this one woman gets in the cab. High heels, tight dress that looks expensive enough to pay all your bills, calm voice that somehow makes you feel both safe and like you’re about to fuck up your entire life. From that point, the story just quietly shifts from “I’m broke and tired” to “oh, I might actually die or worse, catch feelings.” It doesn’t shout at you, it just slowly pulls you into this mafia family drama, one choice at a time, one blowjob at a time.

The sex here doesn’t feel like some random bonus level, it’s tangled right in with the power shit and the manipulation. You think you’re just flirting for fun in the backseat with some big titted milf who likes to lean forward so you can see all that cleavage, but then your next ride, her husband’s cousin is asking questions, and suddenly that quick titfuck scene you just enjoyed is a massive problem. The game loves doing that. You agree to something because her lips are wrapped around your cock in the front seat and your brain is halfway melted, then later you’re realizing “oh, yeah, I kinda sold my soul for that blowjob.” One of my favorite early moments is in the taxi at night, rain on the windows, when she slowly slides over from the passenger seat, puts your hand on her thigh, and asks this very simple question that actually locks you into a whole route. You’re thinking with your dick, click yes, she unzips you, starts sucking, and the camera angle goes low so you see her throat working, spit shining your shaft while the city lights move behind her head. And in the middle of that, she’s talking about loyalty and what you’re willing to sacrifice. It’s hot and fucked up at same time.

What surprised me is how the game keeps forcing you to pick between comfort sex and “good” decisions. You can absolutely be a horny idiot and sleep around with several women, the game doesn’t stop you. There’s this big ass Italian girl with this smug smile who loves to sit on your lap in some fancy office chair, grinding slow until your cock is completely buried, pulling your face into her tits while she rides you like she owns your spine. It’s incredible, and you want to see more, but each time you give in you feel the story bending out of shape. Characters start to notice. One of them will look at you with this hurt expression during a conversation in a quiet kitchen scene, and all you can think about is the time you had her on her knees there, her lips glossy with your cum, while her phone was buzzing on the table and she ignored it. The corruption isn’t just the city or the mafia, it’s you slowly choosing lust over everything. There’s no “everybody is happy and we all share” type ending waiting for you if you fuck them all. The game is kinda mean like that, but honest. It lets you enjoy every blowjob in the backseat, every time you push a girl’s big tits together and slide your cock between them while she moans and drools on your shaft, every time you grab handfuls of ass and pound her from behind against the taxi hood, then later it just quietly makes you sit with what you did. And I really wish the main character would stop making that one weird smirk face during serious scenes, it breaks the mood, but whatever, by the time you’re deep in, following all those messy routes and trying different choices, you’re too busy wondering which woman you’re going to hurt next just because you couldn’t keep it in your pants.

Belle feels like that coworker you always half-suspected was trouble, except here she’s already in your apartment, already in your life, already your partner in this weird blurry space between romance and “we’re about to break something important.” The game drops you straight into that mood where work brain hasn’t fully turned off but she’s bouncing around with this secret purchase, acting smug and horny at the same time. It calls itself lighthearted, and yeah, it mostly is, but it keeps poking at those little power fantasies office people usually bury under spreadsheets and Slack messages. One moment you’re joking about expense reports, next moment she’s waving around a magic thing that messes with bodies like it’s a new productivity app. I actually opened Discord mid-play to tell a friend “this woman is absolutely going to ruin the universe,” then went right back because I wanted to see how badly she’d mess you up first. The humor is very “someone wrote this after a long week at work” and that kind of fits. Sometimes a joke lands really stupid and then two screens later she says something filthy and you forget you were rolling your eyes.

The main kick here is watching bodies change in front of you and deciding just how far you let it go. Belle starts off as that cute, slightly chaotic partner type, then the game keeps handing you these little yes/no moments, or “push it more / let it calm down” choices. Her tits don’t just grow, they creep up on you. It feels like the game is going “this is still fine, right?” until suddenly her shirt looks like it’s about to explode and she’s acting like it’s the most natural thing ever. Same with your own body; at one point you’re this regular guy unwinding after work, later you’re glancing at the screen thinking “ok this cock is honestly too big, where does that even go.” When she teases you about “testing capacity” I had that tiny second of “yeah sure, fantasy logic” then she actually tries and you can almost feel the weight of it, like the scene is slightly too cramped for what the writer stuffed in. There’s a moment where she’s redhead hot, tits huge, climbing on you, and the line between playful and almost predatory is very thin, and that’s what lingers. Not the joke, not the silly world-saving comment, just this woman laughing while she slowly rides more of you than seems physically sane.

The structure itself is that VN-style branching, nothing surprising, but the way it uses it feels like you’re in a dirty lab experiment. “What happens if I let her push that button again?” “What if I say no this time?” The game doesn’t explain shit, it just trusts that you understand how these menus work after playing any other VN in browser. I kind of hated the tiny pause before some of the transformation beats. The text sits there, one more click, you know something’s going to swell or stretch, but the pacing is slightly off, like the writer was tabbing between this and Twitter. There’s also this blonde version look that shows up and I actually preferred that over the red, then the scene cuts away right when it’s getting interesting and never circles back, which annoyed me more than any bug would. On the fantasy side it’s not deep lore, it’s just “we found weird power, let’s abuse it” and that actually says something sad about how we treat bodies as toys in media, but then Belle’s giggling while your cock is throbbing and I stop being a responsible academic and just click the filthiest option. I wish they’d done more with the business angle they hint at, like turning office politics into literal body politics, but they don’t and they probably never will, which is almost charming in a lazy way. Anyway, the scene that stuck in my brain is this: you standing there way too hard, she’s bigger, softer, heavier on your lap, saying something stupid like “for science,” and both of you know this isn’t about science at all, it’s just about how far this evening can bend before it snaps.
