Dialogue
Esper Union (Union Lobby)
: David, what's going on? Didn't sleep well last night?
: No, I slept pretty soundly throughout the night.
: But I wish I was still dreaming right now! Look, can you see what this is?
: What?
David pushes his face close to Q, pointing at a spot in frustration.
: Look here, on my face.
: A pimple!
: A big, red, shiny pimple!
: It's just a pimple, you'll be fine soon enough.
: Did you say "just"?! No, it's not "just" a pimple!
: It is an intolerable, abrupt blemish on my otherwise perfect face!
: Err... is it because of the coke and fried chicken last night?
: But Lucas and I didn't experience any reactions after that.
: Gods... it seems like it's the prettiest face that must go through the toughest challenge.
: If I knew this would happen, I never would have let myself eat like that yesterday.
: Last night was a celebration party for our amazing Union Ops Chief - David!
: We've worked so hard for our mission, so rewarding ourselves with our favorite food shouldn't be a big deal, right?
: But my face is still more important.
: I have decided. From this day on, I'm on diet!
: Um, all right... if you say so.
: Good luck!
Esper Union (Cafeteria)
As David, Q, and Lucas walked into the restaurant, a special sale ad caught all three of their eyes.
: David, look! The coke and fried chicken combo is half price today!
: Don't you want one? It's your favorite.
: I remember you had quite a lot of it during that celebration party the other day, right?
: Please don't talk about it. That was the start of my face's misery.
: You guys know that I'm still on a diet.
: See this terrible pimple? That's a warning sign.
: Are you sure? Your pimple will go away one day, but half price doesn't happen everyday.
: It's just one meal.
: I'm sure, Lucas.
: For my perfectly handsome face, I can make a small sacrifice.
: Wow! For the burgers, they're introducing a new flavor: Double Meat Sauce. And the cheese fries in the combo looks heavenly too!
: Are you sure you don't want some?
: No matter how much you tempt me, I will not waver.
: I have decided on salad for dinner!
: From this day on, discipline is my middle name!
: If you can resist this delicious food, I'm sure your pimple will be gone very soon.
: I hope so.
Esper Union (Union Lobby)
: Hey! David, how about we go for a meal after work today?
: There's a new vegan restaurant nearby, the reviews seem pretty good.
: Wait, is the pimple on your face gone?
: Uh-huh, that's right!
: Thanks to my strong discipline, my face is as smooth as ever.
: Wow, congrats!
: Are we still going to go to that vegan restaurant?
: No, today I will eat like there's no tomorrow! Coke, double burger, cheese fries...
: God knows how much I miss them!
: Really? But what if, I mean what if..
: There's nothing to worry about.
: Nothing can stop me from eating my favorite food!
: If you say so. Then let's go! I just hope tomorrow...
: ... History won't repeat itself.
On the day after ending the diet, David stood in front of the mirror and let out a pained scream.
: Why is there another pimple on my face?!
