i'm okay. .....i think. it's only that.......

[A pause, and then Kirigiri receives a photo attachment. Pictured is an open microwave with oatmeal exploded all over the inside of it. Inside is a cereal bowl holding a very little bit of remaining oatmeal and the empty, soggy instant oatmeal packet.]

i don't know what i'm doing wrong.

[freshprints]

[.............................................what the fuck]

Ah.

[Yes, she really did just send a text of "ah" and nothing else.]

You were trying to make instant oatmeal...?

[goodgames]

yeah. but i never had to make my own breakfast before now.

[freshprints]

Did you follow the directions on the package?

[goodgames]

1. Empty packet into microwave-safe bowl.
2. Add up to 3/4 cup unheated milk or water; stir. For your convenience, you can use the packet as a measuring cup.
3. Microwave on HIGH for 60 to 75 seconds.
4. Stir and let stand for 2 minutes.

i only got through step 3.... that's when it exploded.

[freshprints]

...

Then why is the packet in the microwave?

[goodgames]

step 2 says i can use the packet as a measuring cup for the water... so i added it.

[freshprints]

To be clear, you poured the water into the packet and then put the filled packet...into the bowl?

[goodgames]

[...]

was i not supposed to?

[freshprints]

What would you have done if you hadn't measured with the packet?

Suppose you used a glass or plastic cup to measure with.

[goodgames]

well, it says to add up to 3/4 cup..... so i would have filled three fourths of a cup to put in the bowl.

[freshprints]

And then what would you have put in the bowl?

[goodgames]

the 3/4 full cup.

[freshprints]

The water and the cup containing it both. That's what you would have put into the bowl?

[goodgames]

that's what it says. add up to 3/4 cup.

[freshprints]

...

Nanami-san, you're the sort of person who follows instructions precisely to the letter, aren't you.

[goodgames]

hmmm.... yup, i guess you could say that. even when i get a new game, i memorize the manual booklet or introductory content before i start to play. aren't you supposed to follow the rules when you try to do something for the first time?

[freshprints]

I understand.

[understand her LACK OF COMMON SENSE, maybe]

You don't include the measuring device in the bowl. You only use it to measure the proper quantity of water, so as to put the correct amount into the bowl.

[goodgames]

[...]

oh..... so that's why it's called a measuring cup. it's a cup that only serves the purpose of measuring, huh... okay, i get it.



i think.

[freshprints]

You think?

[goodgames]

i still don't know why it exploded....

[freshprints]

What did you do once you put it in the microwave?

[goodgames]

checked that the power level was HIGH, input 1:15 for cooking time, and pressed START/ENTER. and then i fell asleep.

when i woke up... it was already over.

[freshprints]

You fell asleep in the 75 seconds your oatmeal spent cooking?

[goodgames]

uh-huh.

i conserve energy when i can.
