David (Jason)/Side Tale 1

Q: David, what's going on? Didn't sleep well last night?

 David: No, I slept pretty soundly throughout the night.

 David: But I wish I was still dreaming right now! Look, can you see what this is?

 Q: What?
David pushes his face close to Q, pointing at a spot in frustration.

 David: Look here, on my face.

 David: A pimple!

 David: A big, red, shiny pimple!

 Q: It's just a pimple, you'll be fine soon enough.

 David: Did you say "just"?! No, it's not "just" a pimple!

 David: It is an intolerable, abrupt blemish on my otherwise perfect face!

 Q: Err... is it because of the coke and fried chicken last night?

 Q: But Lucas and I didn't experience any reactions after that.

 David: Gods... it seems like it's the prettiest face that must go through the toughest challenge.

 David: If I knew this would happen, I never would have let myself eat like that yesterday.

 Q: Last night was a celebration party for our amazing Union Ops Chief - David!

 Q: We've worked so hard for our mission, so rewarding ourselves with our favorite food shouldn't be a big deal, right?

 David: But my face is still more important.

 David: I have decided. From this day on, I'm on diet!

 Q: Um, all right... if you say so.

 Q: Good luck!

As David, Q, and Lucas walked into the restaurant, a special sale ad caught all three of their eyes.

 Lucas: David, look! The coke and fried chicken combo is half price today!

 Lucas: Don't you want one? It's your favorite.

 Lucas: I remember you had quite a lot of it during that celebration party the other day, right?

 David: Please don't talk about it. That was the start of my face's misery.

 David: You guys know that I'm still on a diet.

 David: See this terrible pimple? That's a warning sign.

 Lucas: Are you sure? Your pimple will go away one day, but half price doesn't happen everyday.

 Lucas: It's just one meal.

 David: I'm sure, Lucas.

 David: For my perfectly handsome face, I can make a small sacrifice.

 Q: Wow! For the burgers, they're introducing a new flavor: Double Meat Sauce. And the cheese fries in the combo looks heavenly too!

 Q: Are you sure you don't want some?

 David: No matter how much you tempt me, I will not waver.

 David: I have decided on salad for dinner!

 David: From this day on, discipline is my middle name!

 Lucas: If you can resist this delicious food, I'm sure your pimple will be gone very soon.

 David: I hope so.

 Q: Hey! David, how about we go for a meal after work today?

 Q: There's a new vegan restaurant nearby, the reviews seem pretty good.

 Q: Wait, is the pimple on your face gone?

 David: Uh-huh, that's right!

 David: Thanks to my strong discipline, my face is as smooth as ever.

 Q: Wow, congrats!

 Q: Are we still going to go to that vegan restaurant?

 David: No, today I will eat like there's no tomorrow! Coke, double burger, cheese fries...

 David: God knows how much I miss them!

 Q: Really? But what if, I mean what if..

 David: There's nothing to worry about.

 David: Nothing can stop me from eating my favorite food!

 Q: If you say so. Then let's go! I just hope tomorrow...

 Q: ... 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.

 David: Why is there another pimple on my face?!
