Alright. Ah, but I can help with dishes first - it's the least I can do after the food.

You sure? It won't take me long.

What, you think it'd take me that long?

[Reaching out to collect the dishes.]

I'm used to housecleaning. I'm pretty good at it, too, if I do say so myself.

Oh yeah? You a dishes pro or something?

Kept a whole apartment so clean, there wasn't even dust to scrape off the windowsills! This shouldn't take long at all.

[Time to wash!]

Man, you even dusted? Dusting sucks.

I was crashing at an apartment while the actual owners were hospitalized, so I figured the least I could do was get it back into shape while I was borrowing the room.

Ahh. Man, yeah. Nice of you to look after their stuff.

Well, it's not like I didn't have my own ulterior motives, too.

Still, they coulda got a house sitter that sucked at it.

They didn't even know they had a house sitter, actually.

[Almost done though!]

Oh yeah? Bet they were glad when they came back and everything was clean.

Probably half and half. They didn't exactly know I was crashing there since Kiyotaka doesn't really bother to explain these things.

[Aaaaaand... all done! He'll dry off his hands.]

Ready to go?

Yeah, all set.

Thanks for doing the dishes.

No problem!

[To sIV! And to his bedroom, which is extremely tidy this time; he wasn't kidding about cleaning up. He'll walk over to one of the coffin-shaped cabinets, pausing in front of the sets of pull-open compartments.]

Actually I'm going to need your help with the start of this, too.

Sure. Whatcha need?

I put the apple from heaven on the right-handed side and the apple from hell's copy on the left. But if I know I'm eating the one from heaven, I'll have certain expectations, see?

So it would be better for the test if I was looking away while you handed me one without telling me which one it was. You can keep a closer eye on me if you know you just handed me the hell apple of course, but as long as I can't see how you're reacting, it should be good enough.

Oh - right. Yeah, that makes sense.

I can do that.

Thanks! I'll leave the kit right here so you can grab it if you need it.

[Setting it on his bed as close to the cabinet as can be before moving to the side of the bed facing the window, settling there.]

Alright, ready when you are.

Okay - good to go. You wanna close your eyes?

[Closing his eyes!]

Ready!

[Which will be first? Heaven or hell apple?]

[Heaven apple first]

[He presses it into Izanagi's hand, and stands so he can't see the remaining apple]

Ready.

[Taking a bite, eyes still closed. A thoughtful hum as he chews, and then swallows.]

Crisp, light, refreshing... actually, literally refreshing, I feel a little more energized now.

[Handing it back for the other?]

[Taking notes, more so Izanagi can't hear that he isn't taking notes and tell which apple it is]

[He takes the first apple back and hands over the second]

Give it a go, dude.

[Raising this one to his lips and taking a bite, chewing...

Pausing.

Slowly beginning to chew again, swallowing... and taking another bite, chewing and swallowing this one normally.

He opens his eyes.]

It doesn't taste like anything.
