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.

[guestservices]

I suppose that's a trade-off of being able to keep a group. [...] How many people are in your party?

[they have likely read notes, but it's easier to ask.]

[malewife]

The company consists of thirteen people, but we had a number of allies... We extended the choice to regress to many others.

[ detailed notes! ]

[guestservices]

If a person makes a choice to regress once, is it possible for them to give up or to lose that ability entirely?

[malewife]

Yes. If they chose not to regress, they could stay in that worldline. It won't be ending anytime soon. As for the ability, you would know when your ability is going to run out.

... Would you accept such a power?

[guestservices]

...it would depend on what could be done with it in that particular worldline, I think
