Hey everyone,
this is Chapter 5! Probably one of my favorites in this story. It's the 101 on transferring a quad (aka Adam, so don't try this at home with a random quad you pick up on the streets... just saying. Try to get level surfaces, in any case). And there are feelings... very briefly. Because why deal with feelings if you could just deal with each other instead, right?
Have fun!

Jack performs routine wheelchair maintenance.
Penelope discovers that basic physics is apparently a personal attack.
Data is collected.
Honesty happens.
Things escalate.
No one behaves responsibly.
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.
