Use time units.

[ Gemini. ]

[guestservices]

Years?

[joonghyuk.]

[malewife]

… Half of your age?

[ Gemini. ]

[guestservices]

Obviously not. I am aware of what a vacation is, and it hasn't been that many years.

[malewife]

Then you are aware of the benefits of a break.

[guestservices]

Yes? [why do they sound confused.] Breaks are treats for a job well done, wouldn't you say?

[malewife]

[ why do you sound confused... His expression is the same, though his wolf tail lashes. ]

Would you say they're mandatory?

[ this is the death sentence question ]

[guestservices]

[why the fuck is this so ominous.]

I believe breaks are necessary, but those who choose not to take them are within their right to do so.

[malewife]

[ It's only ominous if you're scared. ]

Then the answer is no. You do not think they should be mandatory.

[guestservices]

That's not what I said. Do you not believe in freedom of choice, Mister Yoo?

[malewife]

I do. I also believe people make bad choices.

[guestservices]

And what precisely would you consider a bad choice?

[malewife]

Overworking.

[guestservices]

Okay, sure, but what qualifies as overworking...?

[malewife]

Not taking a vacation once a year, multiple days in a sequence, is the baseline.

[guestservices]

And when precisely was your last vacation?

[malewife]

Within the year. [ SURPRISE ] We went on a company picnic.

[guestservices]

Wait, does it actually count as a vacation if it's still tied to something with your company?

[malewife]

Company is what our group is called. "Kim Dokja's Company."

[ Joonghyuk

seems tired having to admit to this. ]

[guestservices]

...I see. [they also seem kind of tired upon learning this.]

...there really wasn't a better name?

[malewife]

... It was short notice. We were at the Constellation Banquet already and Kim Dokja proposed it on the spot, in front of everyone.

I had intentions to change it once we had petitions of recognition.

[guestservices]

Ah. And precisely how long ago was that?

[did you guys stall.]

[malewife]

[ He looks off to the side. ]

... Eight years ago. Four years in the most recent worldline, then four in the previous where the event happened.

[guestservices]

The regression occurred after the event itself took place then, I assume? If it didn't change in the eight years since then.

[return to a save point past that.]

[malewife]

[ Time stuff is so annoying. ]

I met Kim Dokja during my 1,864th run... On my 1,865th, my ability evolved to Group Regression, so I took as many people as I could with me.

The name stuck, unfortunately. Everyone that came remembered the group as that.
