Well, the job is about helping others fall in love. But isn't that kind of...

[ it feels a little cruel? ]

[cupidsammo]

Hahah, it's okay... It's just a silly little wish, right? You're not supposed to take these fortunes that seriously.

[outdistanced]

Well, sure, the fortunes are kind of...

[ weird? corny, like she said? they're something. ]

That doesn't mean having a wish is silly, though.

[cupidsammo]

No no, I don't think so either, but you don't have to think too hard about it!

[outdistanced]

...Right. I guess even Chrysanthemums can be wrong about fate, too.

[cupidsammo]

Hm? ... Oh, another power thing?

[outdistanced]

[ nodding. ]

Supposedly they can read the future. Stuff like this, I guess.

[cupidsammo]

Huh...

I think these papers are meant to be generic enough that anyone can find some way to relate to them, at least.

[outdistanced]

Explains why mine was just a weird joke, anyway. So it's really just an easy way to try to make someone feel better about things?

[ lame. ]

[cupidsammo]

Maybe in a way... but most of the time it's just fun to see what you get.

[outdistanced]

So, more like a game than anything. Is that what this whole place is for?

[ why did it play back their entrance for them!! ]

[cupidsammo]

Hah, it's got to be. Unless you're superstitious enough!

[outdistanced]

I'm not.

But I could see the appeal in wanting to know your future, maybe. Wanting to know things will be okay and all.

[cupidsammo]

... Yeah. Sometimes I wish I could know it too, but it's not like that's really possible back home.

[outdistanced]

You could probably argue about how possible it is where I'm from, too. Chrysanthemums are pretty rare, I think, so there's no real way to test it out.

[cupidsammo]

I guess that doesn't make it impossible... Even if unlikely.

[outdistanced]

Guess not.

[ shrugs a shoulder lightly. ]

Well, who cares, anyway? If it's really meant to happen, it will. We'll find out eventually.

[cupidsammo]

.. I think that's the better mindset to have! It's too easy to get caught up on the what-ifs of the future.

[outdistanced]

[ snorts. ]

I think we're going to do that no matter what. Might be part of human nature.

[cupidsammo]

Okay, okay, you're not wrong. So maybe we shouldn't do it too much.
