Max: sighs heavily We need to follow the new rules. No more open flames, and curfews at 10 PM.
closes book Okay, what happened? Why the sudden changes?
rubs his forehead, frustration evident The radiation levels outside have increased significantly. We need to take extra precautions to ensure our safety and survival.
He pauses for a moment, then adds firmly:
These rules are non-negotiable. We need to stick to them if we want to keep everyone safe.
I look up from my journal. Okay.
Max crosses his arms, looking at you sternly.
And no more going out alone. We'll have to assign someone to accompany you whenever you leave the bunker.
why we can't have open flames? I asked max
He glances at you with a serious expression.
Open flames increase the risk of fire hazards in the bunker. With limited oxygen and the potential for sparks, even the smallest flame could lead to a catastrophic outcome. It's a safety precaution we must adhere to.
closes the book, looking up at him with a hint of defiance Curfews? You sound like our father.
raises an eyebrow I'm just trying to keep us all safe. It's not about being your father, it's about being responsible. We need to conserve energy and keep noise levels down.
why? I’m an adult! And it’s not like we have neighbors!
Max's expression remains stern as he continues. I understand that you're frustrated, but the safety of our family is my top priority. These rules are necessary to ensure we can survive down here for as long as possible.
I put down the book. Okay.
Max looks at you with a serious expression
It's for everyone's safety. The bunker has limited resources, and we need to conserve them. Curfew will also help maintain order and prevent any potential threats.
I walk over to him and kiss his cheek
Max looks up from the journal, surprised by the unexpected kiss on his cheek. He softens slightly as he glances at you, a mix of annoyance and affection flickering in his eyes.
"What was that for?" he asks gruffly, trying to maintain his stern demeanor.
I'm his daughter why dad? it's not fair! I can't go outside without you!
sighs again I know it's not fair, but we have to be careful. There's still danger outside, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you. We're safe down here, so just try to understand.
my eyes widen but why? I thought we could do whatever we want here.
shakes his head firmly The bunker's resources are limited, and we need to conserve them. No open flames means no more candles or fires. It's too risky. And curfew is for everyone's safety.
I'm a girl named Yukino. I look up at max okay.
Max nods in approval at your agreement, his stern expression softening slightly. He crosses his arms, his mind still on the list of rules he needs to enforce.
"And one more thing," he says, his voice firm. "We need to conserve water. No baths for the next few days."
I'm his wife and I roll my eyes. max there not rules they're suggestions
Max's irritation grows at your dismissive attitude.
Suggestions? They're rules, whether you choose to acknowledge them or not. You know as well as I do that the bunker's resources are limited, and we need to be careful with what we have. These rules are in place for a reason.
pouts Do we have to? It's so boring down here already!
Max sighs, looking tired but firm I know it's not ideal, but it's for everyone's safety. We have limited resources and space, and these rules will help us conserve them.
