Help I don't have any memes.

[holeful]

Ah, that's so, isn't it...
[Looking up at all the stars.]

I do think I appreciate the stars more now that I can't count them, though.

[notaccurate]

Oh? Lost your math sense this week?

[holeful]

[He nods!! He doesn't actually seem bothered by it though?]

It seems like everyone's been forgetting things this week. What about you?

[notaccurate]

We are alike, I haven't been able to do any math this week either.

[holeful]

Oh!
[It might be hard to tell in this lighting but he's a bit excited by this.... alike....]

Well, it's not like you need to do math while we're here.

[notaccurate]

True. We can just watch the stars here.

[They really are pretty, and watching them with someone else is nice.]

[holeful]

Aah.
[So he will sit down next to Luca.]

What areas of science are your specialty, then?

[notaccurate]

[There's plenty of room! Luca will scoot a bit closer to Fukuda once he settles down.]

Sfeer theory, but I'm told that branch of science doesn't exist in most worlds. Have you heard of it?

[holeful]

[Nice... He likes how close Luca is.]

Sfeer? No, I haven't. What is it?
[He doesn't know what it is but he would like to!]

[notaccurate]

It's a branch of science that studies a person's personal boundaries and how they can manipulate them with their willpower. You see, with proper training, someone can exert their willpower in a small space around their body. What they do in that space must follow the laws of science, of course, but you can get some interesting results. One common reaction we teach beginners is changing water into ice, or into steam.

[He sounds. So excited to be talking about this.]

[holeful]

Oh. That sounds a bit like alchemy... Magic with scientific rules applied.
[He thinks it sounds cool, though.]

Though, I think a lot of times, highly advanced science and technology sounds like magic. Like cognition particles.

[notaccurate]

It could be that 'magic' is the earliest explanation for scientific phenomena. That's what I always believed.

[holeful]

I imagine that's so. At least in worlds like yours and mine. It's hard to say for the rest, since no one can use their powers here.

So is that what you do for work, Luca? Studying Sfeer theory?

[notaccurate]

Ah, well.

[He smiles.]

I'm a technician at the school where they teach it. I help keep the labs running.

[holeful]

So you make it so that young people can learn it too. That's an important job.

[notaccurate]

I suppose it is, isn't it? Though they're not exactly young, it's a university. Most of the students are adults.

[holeful]

[hmmmmmmm]

Do you not think your work is important, Luca?

[notaccurate]

Oh no, the work of passing on education to the next generation is very important.

[holeful]

[Smiles.]

Aah. You have a lot to be proud of.

[notaccurate]

[Something like that.]

What about you? Surely you do important work too, no?

[holeful]

Hahaha. Well, I'd say it's a bit complicated, so perhaps it's better left at that.

[Gently evades.]

[notaccurate]

[That evasion tho]

Too shy to talk about it?

[holeful]

[He laughs lightly.]

Something like that.
[It's not that at all but as long as it gets Luca to stop asking!!]

[notaccurate]

We should work on that shyness of yours.

[He's reaching over to cup Fukuda's chin with his index finger.]

[holeful]

[Oh... Fukuda leans into the touch, lightly.]

What sort of thing did you have in mind?
