Welcome to week two, Teens Who Are Definitely Searching for Love!

Hopefully everyone got a lot of rest over the weekend, and are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the upcoming week, because there are a few things of interest this week.

But first, some changes of note in the house!

First: there is a giant rectangular box on the living room table, addressed to Lessing. It is a care package. The only thing in it is his sword.

There is some Bauernbrot bread on the counter. Ask Lessing about that too.

There is now a hot tub near the pool. It’s large enough to seat about six teens comfortably, but you can get more in there if you really try for some reason.

Okay I think that’s everything. Additionally, Tsukasa is here early this week! He’s looking pretty perky, seemingly recovered from the Match Ceremony, and he’s got some interesting info to share with everyone.

[ He blushes a little. He's been doing that a lot lately. Really...? ]

No, it's okay. I'm fine. [ He nods — really, he is! ] We'll have a better shot at the truth booth now, so it works out.

[ A beat. ]

I think I'm going to vote for you and Dorothea for that, actually... I think you guys were pretty likely as a match too.

[hgeegh]

[He's not sure how much he likes the sound of that, but he'll respect Mark's wishes and let sleeping dogs lie.]

Dorothea doesn't mind going, so I don't, either. If we end up voted in, we'll try to bring back a good result.

Fingers crossed — but she did pick you first, and she's got great intuition. [ he assumes. she's just really neat and all. and pretty. ] So I'd say your odds are pretty good.

[ that's not how odds work. ]

[hgeegh]

[She's absolutely all of those things.]

Trust a lady's intuition, eh? I like the way you think.

[ nodnod. ]

I mean, especially with Dorothea — she just really seems like if she wants something she'll go for it, right? You two would be great together.

[hgeegh]

She knows what she has to do for her dreams; that's for sure. But you think so?

[Sanji is genuinely curious to know what the others think. He and Dorothea . . . How do they look from a distance?]

[titlecard]

Yeah. I mean — you want to be free, right? And she's kind of like a free spirit. [ or at least that's the impression he's gotten, anyway. ] So I can see it.

[ he's also crushing on Dorothea but. this is Sanji's moment!! ]

[hgeegh]

So that's it . . .

[A free spirit, untethered by anything or anyone. He likes the sound of that. Surely Dorothea must, too, after all that she's probably endured. It's a warming thought that has nothing to do with the matches, enough so that a corner of his lips tugs upward.]

Well, we'll find out for sure if that's what everyone decides. Thanks for your input.

[ Sanji's small smile has him smiling in return. Is this what Anna feels like when she's talking people through things? It's a great feeling. ]

Sure thing, Sanji. [ A beat. ] I'm rooting for you.
