This is why you don't learn your social activies from the internet.

Sure, why not? I'd push it~!

[withmorelove]

No hesitation? What if it does something like explode, or close the path behind you?

[rivercrossed]

Why would it do something like that, huh? Seems pointless.

[withmorelove]

That may be the case, but what if it does? It could be a trap.

[rivercrossed]

But the trap would be totally useless if it wasn't pushed! I think.

[withmorelove]

Ah yes-but you just said you would push it.

[rivercrossed]

But what if I didn't? Anyway, it couldn't be that bad, it's just a button.

[withmorelove]

A button could be connected to something quite terrible.

[rivercrossed]

Like...an electric shock? Poison?

[withmorelove]

Exactly. Or a trap door to a spike pit and things like that.

[rivercrossed]

Kyaa. That's awful. What a sneaky, low way of killing someone. Well, if they're trying to kill me...

[withmorelove]

But then, there is the other side of the possibilities-that you'll receive something good.

[rivercrossed]

Ohh. Then I suppose it's worth it.

[withmorelove]

But there is still the chance of punishment-

so the question is, which do you think is more likely? Punishment or reward?

[rivercrossed]

Sigh. Probably punishment. But if I didn't press it I'd just regret it, y'know? A pessismistic attitude is no good in life...

[withmorelove]

Even if optimism gets you hurt?
