[ The nice thing about living with your twin is that your laptops can do double duty. That’s how this whole thing happens: they have one laptop facing them, webcam on as they stand in the middle of their living room, and the other laptop is on the table behind them. There’s a video playing on it that’s tough to see, but the twins aren’t watching it either.

What matters is the song that’s playing.

The looks on the twins’ faces are very serious as the song gets started. It takes only about fifteen seconds for the beat to really drop, and they hold perfectly still for that time. But once the music really gets going…

… so do the twins.

Like, the whole shebang. Hand motions over their heads, swinging their hips, it’s perfect. They do the spins, they have choreography, did they actually take the time to learn all of this?

(Of course they did.)

Then they come to the part of the song with the… spine twisting. You know. That spine twisting. Souji will stop because Yu stops, and they just kind of look at each other.

Then Souji … does it. Like, does it perfectly. It’s amazing. Who knew a human could defy all logic and anatomy like that?

Yu tries it…

… and it’s actually audible, the way his spine cracks. He’ll end up stumbling off camera, holding his back and wheeze-laughing to go collapse somewhere. Souji just looks back at the camera and immediately goes to turn it right off. ]

[ Five minutes later, this text accompanies the video. ]

Taking Yu to the hospital. One like = one prayer . Send gifts and flowers to dorm #211 please and thank you.

I'm sorry, but I must speak the truth. Both you and your bouncy ball cannot continue to hide behind the fog of lies.
