Never had curry before, but if you can put apples in it, then I'm game.

[no, he's not going to cry!! Dave only cries when crocodiles are cutting onions or if he's having a nervous breakdown over some selfies he took when he was 13. it's just.]

[god dammit. just planting a seed and going forward in time to check what happened to it would be the simplest time loop ever. assuming the station stays put, it'd be like he wasn't even there. he'd just blink in and out, like he's one of the ghosts who haunts the station anyway. nobody would be affected. Dave knows better than to call anything that involves time travel fool-proof, but it sounds enough like that on paper that he'd.]

[ugh, no!! he pulls out one more slice, handing it on over to Ryuji, before he closes the paper towel back over the rest of the apple. he's going to try to make it last as long as he possibly can, before it starts getting dry and weird.]

How long do you figure it takes to grow apple trees, anyway.

[there it is. the hint that he's even having this stupid line of thought to begin with.]
