Author's Notes:
Yooooooo, not sorry for making another one of these right away.
I've been traveling for the entire week now and I'm too exhausted and too lazy to write an actual chapter and I'm still traveling for another 2 weeks or so, so this will probably my last update for at least the month but I do have an idea for a new chapter, which was given by SomeWeirdGozer wait!?
It was actually MY IDEA! Why am I thanking SomeWeirdGozer when it was obliviously my idea.
Anyways enjoy.

Astraea: Alise has no survival skills, their need to win has replaced them.
Lyra: That can't be true.
Astraea: Watch this.
Astraea: Hey Alise, race you to the bottom of the stairs!
Alise: *Throws themself out a window*
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: But who gets which pencil?
Ryuu: Since they're my things, I get the good one, Bell gets the broken one and you don't get one because fuck you.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: Not gonna lie, I'm kind of afraid of Ryuu...
Lyra: As you should be.
Bell: No, for real, they're kind of-
Lyra: As. You. Should. Be.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Lyra: Alright Ryuu, Bell. Let's go over this one more time.
Lyra: If something breaks?
Bell: We try to fix it before Kaguya gets home.
Lyra: If it doesn't work?
Ryuu: We blame Alise.
Alise: Seriously guys, what the hell?!
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: *visiting the squad* Hey, I just came to-
Bell: *sees Alise shoving Kaguya into the washing machine while Ryuu records and Lyra watches*
Bell: *retreating* Something suddenly came up.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: Are oranges named orange because oranges are orange or is orange called orange because oranges are orange?
Lyra: Which came first, the orange or the orange?
Ryuu: Orange was first used to refer the fruit 1280 years ago but was not used as a color until 1000 years ago.
Kaguya: What was the color called before then?
Astraea: There was no color, duh! Everything was black and white!
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell and Alise are in Paris.*
Bell: I'm...moved. I...I don't know what it is I'm feeling right now. I feel...destiny?
Alise: But...
Bell: I don't know what it is. I feel like... I just never thought I'd see it with my own two eyes. And here it is. It's just there. It's right in front of me, and...
Alise: This is what you wanted to see? The bridge from Inception?
Bell: Yeah.
Alise: But the Eiffel Tower is behind us, babe.
Bell: Yeah, but this is the bridge FROM INCEPTION.
Alise: Okay, alright.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: Which is correct, seven and five IS thirteen, or seven and five ARE thirteen?
Kaguya: Neither.
Kaguya: Because it's twelve.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: And what do I get out of this?
Lyra: I will give you a dollar.
Alise: What do you think I am? A chump? I would never do it for a dollar!
Lyra: How bout two dollars?
Alise: You got yourself a deal.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Kaguya, at Alise's funeral: I need a moment with them.
Everyone else at the funeral: Of course. *leaves*
Kaguya, leaning over Alise's coffin: Okay, listen here you little shit. I know you're not dead.
Alise, sitting up in the coffin: Yeah, no shit.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: Hand me the people opener.
Kaguya: ...
Kaguya: Pardon?
Alise, annoyed: The people opener! Just hand it to me!
Kaguya, stressed: WHAT THE FUCK IS A PEOPLE OPENER?
Alise: How do you not know what a people opener is? Its pointy- you know? With a handle?
Kaguya: Knife. It's called a knife.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: I'm terrible at expressing myself.
Bell: Don't worry, actions speak louder than words!
Ryuu: Yes, but my actions are also bad.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell and Ardi: *eating cinnamon rolls*
Alise: Cannibals!
Bell and Ardi: *confused chewing noises*
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise on Monday: *glues a dime to the sidewalk* Heh heh heh.
Alise on Wednesday: *walking down the street* Ooh hey! A dime!
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: What's up? I'm back.
Ryuu: I literally saw you die. You died. You were dead
Alise: Death is a social construct.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Kaguya: Start talking!
Ryuu: Well, I-
Kaguya: Shut up!
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Lyra: Astraea-sama has no idea I'm high.
Astraea : You're high?
Lyra: Oh, I'm sorry.
Lyra, leaning over to Kaguya: Astraea-sama has no idea I'm high.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: sapnu puaS.
Bell: What?
Ryuu: What language is that?
Alise: Turn your phone 180 degrees.
Alise was removed from the groupchat
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: Do you think different paints have different tastes?
Alise: They do.
Bell: ...Why did you say that with such certainty?
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: Hey, are you okay?
Ryuu: Yeah.
Bell: You don't look okay...
Ryuu: Then stop looking.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: Kaguya, can I ask you a question?
Kaguya: You just did.
Ryuu: Okay, can I ask you two questions?
Kaguya: You just did.
Ryuu, frustrated: OKAY, CAN I ASK YOU FOUR QUESTIONS?!
Kaguya: You just did.
Ryuu: When?!
Kaguya: Just now.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: So, did everyone learn their lesson?
Ryuu: No.
Kaguya: I did not.
Lyra: I may have actually forgotten one.
Bell: Also no.
Alise: Oh good, neither did I.
Astraea: *Exhausted sigh*
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea : Why are your tongues purple?
Bell: We had slushies. I had a blue one.
Alise: I had a red one.
Astraea : oh.
Astraea :
Astraea : OH.
Ryuu:
Ryuu: You drank eachothers slushies?
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: Okay, help me, please!
Lyra: Got two words for you.
Ryuu: I bet they won't be helpful.
Lyra: Your problem.
Ryuu: I was right.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Kaguya: Bell, how do you feel about lifting heavy things?
Bell: Airmid just said I should avoid—
Kaguya: Being a wuss? I agree.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Lyra: How much you wanna bet Bell got a Lap dance from a drunk Ryuu?
Lyra: If that happened, Alise can drink free tonight.
Alise: As much as I love the thought of having free drinks I don't like the idea of Bell receiving a Lap dance from someone other than me.
Lyra: Hey Ryuu, did you give Bell a lap dance?
Ryuu, blushing profusely:...
Lyra, to Kaguya: I guess Alise is drinking free tonight.
Ryuu: Be right back, I'm gonna go bury myself.
Bell, entering the room: What the f-
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: Alise, why are you standing in front of the fan?
Alise: I'm waiting for Bell to look into our window when they come home. When the fan is blowing on me, I look like a fancy supermodel.
Ryuu: You want Bell to think you're a supermodel?
Alise: Giving him eye candy is the least I can do. It'll probably be the best part of their walk!
Ryuu, sarcastically: You're selfless.
Alise: Thank you for noticing.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: Do you feel any better?
Kaguya: I feel much better now that you here with me.
Ryuu walks in*
Kaguya: I feel half better.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu, in a room withBell, Alise, Ardee and Syr : It's calm in here.
Ryuu: It scares me...
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea Familia visiting the Loki Familia
Bell: Here you go Lefiya.
Lefiya:Thanks, nii-san.
Bell: You just called Bell "nii-san". You just said "thanks, nii-san."
Lefiya: What?! No, I didn't. I said "thanks, idiot".
Bell: Do you see me as a brother figure, Lefiya ?
Lefiya: No. If anything I see you as a bother figure 'cause you're always bothering me.
Lyra: Hey! Show your brother some respect!
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea : WHOEVER CAUSED THIS MESS IS GOING TO-
Bell: It was me...
Astraea : ...Is going to be forgiven because everyone deserves a second chance.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: Good night.
Lyra: Sleep tight.
Alise: Don't let the bedbugs crawl up to your ear and whisper threatening things that make you question yourself.
Everyone: ...
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: I made lightly fried fish fillets for dinner.
Kaguya: Alise, It's 1:15 am, what the fuck.
Alise: Do you want the lightly fried fish fillets or not.
Kaguya: Well, I mean yeah.
Alise: So come downstairs while they're still hot.
Kaguya: Wait, you just made them?
Alise: Yeah, I wasn't tired so I decided to make lightly fried fish fillets.
Kaguya: Say lightly fried fish fillets one more time Alise.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: If we don't get out of this alive... If we're both about to die... I love you, Bell!
Neither of them die*
Bell: ...
Ryuu: ...
Bell: So do you wanna talk about somethi-
Ryuu: No thank you.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea : Some people say that I have a god complex. I'd like to think that I'm a complex god.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea : *is hugging Bell*
Alise: Hey! It's my turn to hug Bell!
Alise: *grabs Bell*
Ryuu: *kicking down the door* What do you mean, "yOuR tUrN"? We agreed now is my time slot!
Astraea : No, It's still my turn!
Bell: *suffocating* Guys, I love you, but just because I'm ok with it doesn't mean you can be hugging me constantly!
Alise: But we need the moral support!
Kaguya: And you're so cute!
Ryuu: If I don't hug you right now I think the depression will kick in and my body will stop functioning.
Bell: *close to tears* Well- F-fine.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Computer: Please enter a password.
Alise: *types in RyuuBell*
Computer: Your password is too weak.
Alise: How fucking DARE YOU-
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
In a horror movie situation*
Ryuu: I've got no service in my phone here.
Bell: Shoot, my battery just died.
Alise: Sorry guys, I just broke my phone with a hammer.
Kaguya: Guys, my phone is a book
Lyra: You guys have phones?
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Lyra: Why am I the bad guy?
Alise: I don't know, why am I the pretty one? We all have our thing.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: *cooking*
Alise: *kicks down door*
Alise: *grabs knife from Bell's hand*
Alise: WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR?
Bell:
Bell: What.
Lyra:She's trying to tell you she wants to cook.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: Caffeine no longer keeps me awake while I work, so instead I have Bell periodically send me texts saying 'we need to talk.'
Alise: It gives me the right amount of adrenaline and fear I need to keep going.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Lyra: I've become a bread crumb dealer to four crows at the lake. They pay me with a bit of everything. Like shiny things, fabric, or pens. But recently they paid me with a 20 dollar bill they found somewhere. So I decided to buy them some more expensive bread. They loved it. So they understand what to do. Give me money. I've probably racked up about 200 dollars at this point. Is it morally wrong though, I mean. They're the ones who steal the money from others. Or perhaps they just have a big pile laying somewhere. Should I keep on doing this?
Bell: You sound like the start of a Batman villain.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: I'm totally useless.
Kaguya: You're not totally useless.
Kaguya: You can be used as a bad example.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: I will send my team to attack!
Alise: *releases a dumpster of raccoons*
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: You shouldn't be using a straw.
Alise: I know, I know, it's bad for the environment and stuff.
Bell: Yeah, but I mean... it's a weird way to eat spaghetti.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea : We call that a traumatic experience.
Astraea , turning to Alise: Not a "bruh moment".
Astraea , turning to Lyra: Not "sadge".
Astraea , turning to Kaguya: And DEFINITELY not an "oof LMAO".
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: What's the signal when something goes wrong?
Alise: We yell, 'oh shit.'
Kaguya: ...That'll work.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: You need to be more careful!
Kaguya, who was dragged into Alise's issue: Careful? CAREFUL?! I'LL CAREFULLY WRAP MY HANDS AROUND YOUR THROAT-
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Lyra: But seriously, what is the real plan here that has to do with not fucking around?
Alise: There is no plan that does not involve fucking around. But we will make sure all of our fucking around will be applied in a constructive direction.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: What did you two do?
Ryuu:
Bell:
Alise: You're not in trouble, I just need to know if I have to lie to the police again or not.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: I'm the sexiest bitch in this therapy waiting room.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: What do we say when making bread?
Ryuu, glumly: That's the dough rising.
Bell: And what do we NOT say?
Alise, sadly: That's the yeast fucking.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: How do you know how to kiss? Like who teaches you?
Alise: Well it's actually a class, but unfortunately it's full right now.
Alise: Would you like me to tutor you?
Lyra: That was smooth.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: How late were you up last night?
Alise Ardee, in tandem: Me?
Ryuu: No, not you two. You stay up late all the time.
Ryuu, to Bell: You.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Lyra: Hey, Alise? Can I get some dating advice?
Alise: Just because I'm with Bell doesn't mean I know how I did it.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Neze: When I said can you guys get me something back from Melen I meant something like a conch shell!
Alise: *Struggling to hold a seagull* Fucking say that next time!
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: Why don't you go talk to him?
Lyra, sarcastically: Oh. Yeah, sure.
Bell: What? So you go tell Finn he's cute, what's the worst that could happen?
Lyra: He could hear me.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea: I hope you have an explanation for this.
Lyra: We have three actually-
Alise: Pick your favorite.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise staring at Bell and Helun sitting in the couch
Alise: Ok let's just recap
Alise, to Helun: I saved you.
Alise:I paid for your medical bills.
Alise: I invite you to my Familia.
Alise:I teach you to joys of justice.
Alise, shaking a bag of bagels: I go outside and was forced to wait for an hour for a bag of BAGELS! I DIDN'T EVEN WANT!
Alise: Then I come home to find you SACKING YOUR FACE ON BELL'S FACE!
Yeah she's on the list now, gonna write a chapter about this when I get back from my trip
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
The gang at a casino
Bell: Maybe we should quit? Don't you think we've got enough?
Lyra: Bell, don't you know 90% of gamblers quit before they hit it big.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea: Alise, no.
Alise: Alise, yes.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: Do you guys hear something?
Lyra: I hear the sound of you shutting the fuck up.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea: Remember! Curiosity killed the cat!
Lyra: Yes, but you forget that satisfaction brought it back. So yes, Alise, go find out if that thing can catch fire!
Astraea: You're a bad influence.
Lyra: And you don't know your sayings.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Kaguya: Hey guys, today Alise pushed me, so I'm starting a kickstarter to put them down.
Kaguya: The benefits of killing her are that I would get pushed way less.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: Come on, Lyra. Nobody actually believes that Alise is in love with me.
Lyra, to The Squad: Raise your hand if you think that Alise is helplessly in love with Bell.
Everyone raises their hand*
Bell: Alise , put your hand down.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea: Are you laughing at that video of Ryuu and Kaguya fighting?
Alise: No.
Alise: I'm laughing at the comments.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea: If you didn't understand it, why didn't you ask me a question?
Alise: Cause I didn't understand what I didn't understand.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Lyra: How do tall people people possibly sleep at night when the blanket can't possibly cover you?
Ryuu: Lyra, it's four o'clock in the morning.
Lyra: So, you can't sleep, huh? Is it because of the blanket?
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: Hello, my name is Failure, and you're watching my life crumble into pieces.
Ryuu: *waves their finger and sings like they're in a Disney Channel intro*
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: What are you writing?
Alise: The guild wants to know what kind of weapons we have in the house. I'm letting them know it's private information.
Ryuu, looking overAlise'sshoulder: This just says 'fuck around and find out' in calligraphy.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Kaguya: Alise, I don't think I can handle any more of your tomfuckery.
Alise: Oh yeah? Well I can keep going until you're all tomfuckered out!
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise:Ryuu, you're testifying in an aggravated assault case tomorrow, and the D.A. is worried about how you'll present yourself on the stand.
Ryuu: Why? I'm fine on the stand!
flashback to Testimony #1*
Ryuu: Look, I'll make this real simple so even these dumdums can understand.
Ryuu, to the jury: MAN DID CRIME.
flashback to Testimony #2*
Ryuu: I'm sorry, could you make her stop doing that weird thing with her face?
Defense Attorney, next to the crying defendant: ...Crying?
flashback to Testimony #3*
Ryuu: And when this is over, I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna break those little fingers.
Judge: Could the witness please stop threatening the stenographer?
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Store Worker: Would a "Bell" please come to the front desk?
Bell, arriving at the desk: Hello, is there a problem?
Store Worker, pointing to Ryuu andAlise: I believe they belong to you?
Alise: We got lost.
Bell: I didn't even bring you guys here with me—
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Lyra: Syr is clearly taking advantage of Bell, getting them to deal with everything, and making fun of them! You know what they sounds like?
Ryuu: You?
Lyra: No, I meant... You know Bell. In spite of being clever and sarcastic he's also... fragile, innocent and weird and they have trouble fitting in. And Syr is taking advantage of he's weakness! You know what that's called?
Ryuu: A Lyra?
Lyra: ...Yeah, but I'm the only one who should be allowed to do that, okay?!
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Astraea: Do you guys ever have a civilized conversation that doesn't require insulting each other every time you get a chance?
Kaguya: No.
Ryuu: No.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: *Pulls a glass a water from out of nowhere*
Lyra: Where did you get that?
Bell: My pocket.
Lyra: How do you keep a glass of water in your pocket?
Bell: Skills.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise drunkenly wanders around the house and Ryuu is drunkenly giggling*
Bell, completely sober: *sighs* Well, looks like it's just me and you against the wold, Kaguya.
Kaguya, going to their room: Nope, just you. *shuts door*
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: *running towards Ryuu with open arms*
Ryuu: *moves out of the way*
Alise: Hey, why'd you move?!
Ryuu: I thought you were going to attack me.
Alise: I was going to hug you!
Ryuu: Why would you hug me?
Alise: WHY WOULD I ATTACK YOU!?
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Kaguya: When Alise has daiquiris they get really into how beautiful they are.
Alise: Hey, I dare you guys to dare us to make out.
Lyra: Hey Alise, you know that's a mirror, right?
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: *falls down the stairs*
Bell: Are you okay?
Ryuu: Stop falling down the stairs!
Kaguya: How'd the ground taste?
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: I am in charge of this disaster!
Alise: I have a name, you know.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: You know what?
Bell: When I join this friend group I thought you guys would be dealing with my bullshit.
Ryuu , Alise and Lyra continue screaming about mold water*
Bell: Not the other way around.
Kaguya: I dunno, sounds like you need to drink the mold water.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: I like your top, Bell!
Ryuu: I have a name, you know.
Bell: *sighs* Why. Why are you like this.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: What? I'm not aggressive!
Lyra: Last Tuesday, you wacked me with a pair of crocs and stole my chocolate chips?
Ryuu: Survival of the fittest, bitch.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: Bell, you love me, right?
Bell: Normally I'd say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere I won't like.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: Question, how difficult would it be to bowl in a bee suit?
Ryuu: Not that hard, I don't think, as long as you can move.
Syr: I'd assume it would be as hard as it is to bowl in a maid outfit.
Alise:Yeah it wouldn't be any harder, but you'd get some WEIRD looks.
Ardee: Are. Are you speaking from experience.
Alise: No!
Alise:
Alise: ...Maybe.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: Alise just said "I have an appetite for destruction" and then they reached down and untied my shoe.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: I think I just figured something out. I got to go.
Bell: Aren't you forgetting something?
Alise: Uuh oh right...*kisses Bell before running out.*
Bell, blushing: No, pay your bill! Damn, who raised you?
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Kaguya: This is a bad idea.
Alise: Then why are you coming along?
Kaguya: Someone has to get your injured ass home.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Freya: Did you take out Bell as I requested?
Helun: Bell has been taken out, yes.
Freya: You have my gratitude, where did you leave-
Helun: It was a great restaurant.
Helun: We had a romantic candlelit dinner.
Helun: Bell proposed afterwards- we're filing the wedding papers.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Airmid: I still have no idea how I'm attracted to you...
Bell: Yeah, well, you're stuck with me, and no take backs, honey.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Bell: This food is too hot... I cant eat it.
Alise: You're very hot, and I still eat you.
Everyone at the table: *silence*
Ryuu: YOU GUYS ARE DISGUSTING!
Astraea: One dinner... I just want one dinner.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Ryuu: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.
Bell: But, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.
Ryuu: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??
Bell: Is it working?
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: That was so hot, Bell.
Bell: I literally called the person who just flirted with you a degenterated dog and told them I hope they get dragged through the streets.
Alise: I'm so in love with you.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Alise: I've been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response.
Bell: Wow. They sound stupid.
Alise: But they're not. They're really smart actually. Just dense.
