[ Video ]

[ Gen is lounging in the library, looking a little wistful, putting some book down before the camera can see the title ]

So! I have a hypothetical question, everyone! If anyone could indulge me a little.

Let's play a game.

[ He leaned into the camera's frame with a bright smile ]

Pick three fellow passengers on this train - and tell me, who would you Hug, who would you Marry, and who would you Yeet into the void, if given the ability?


[ Claps his hands together ]

Please, it's all in good fun, of course! Share with me your thoughts!

[Yet again, he didn't know if she was actually serious or making some kind of joke. But, all things considered, it could be entirely possible that she'd never heard of the phrase 'awkward turtle'.]

It's...it's a phrase, I don't know any turtles. Also I have no idea where the phrase came from or why turtles are considered awkward, but apparently they are.

Ah.

[ Somehow there seems to be a certain kind of disappointment in her answer.. ]

Well, the one I know is quite awkward, so I would say that the person who started the phrase may have known a turtle or two, if the Mock Turtle was anything to go by.

Wait, you literally know a turtle?

[Give him a moment to wrap his head around that.]

I guess I shouldn't be so surprised about that, but still. That's...cool?

Yes. Though I suppose he's not an actual turtle, considering he's more related to soup than reptiles, but most people would refer to him as a turtle if they saw him, I'm sure.

[ Though they may be slightly distracted by his captain uniform first... ]

I really knew very few humans before I ended up here on the train.

Related to...soup...?

[Had he...had he heard that right? How was anything related to soup?]

How does that even work?

[He'd met or known a lot of non-human people himself, so he couldn't even judge that part, but he was still hung up on other things.]

Since he's a Mock Turtle, of course! That's what they make mock turtle soup out of.

[ Mock turtle soup certainly isn't made out of anything even remotely related to turtles, but that assumption that Alice made as a child is exactly what lead her to think up a mock turtle imaginary friend in her own imaginary world.. ]

I have literally never heard of that before, so I'm just gonna take your word for it.

[He didn't know anything about mock turtles, or soup, for that matter, so for all he knew this was something that was perfectly logical where Alice was from.]
