Jack and Penelope go to IKEA. Fictional backstories are invented, productivity hacks get weird, and a stranger attempts spiritual intervention over Swedish meatballs.
Penelope says something she regrets the second it leaves her mouth. Jack is unreasonably delighted. A wardrobe is involved.
Chapter 14: Part II - the mushrooms go from “lol feelings” to rearranging furniture.
Feelings happen. Bodies happen. Gravity happens. Jack stops doing his polite-angle thing with his legs and Penelope's nervous system writes a thesis about it without asking permission. Jack quietly clocks a very specific setting in Penelope’s brain.
More emotional flashing in the street. No eye contact please.
Hi everyone!
Dropping Chapter 13
Featuring: one plate of fries, a man named Cam who should not be allowed in public unsupervised, and Jack weaponizing charm in self-defense.
There is also a couch, a bowl of popcorn, and a rapid-fire game that gets way too honest for something invented out of boredom. Everyone’s fine, feelings were just… lightly rearranged.đ„
Hello and welcome to Chapter 12
Joint Idiot Custody: HR “supports” them (with a light scolding), the office reacts like they’ve soft-launched a Super Bowl ad, and Jack and Penelope accidentally end up sharing joint custody of everyone’s bad takes.
