[ It happens so quickly. One minute, Reynir and Onni are walking side by side, as they often do these days. The next moment, they are surrounded by these tiny, flying, glowing things, and Reynir bonks his forehead right into an invisible barrier. ]
Ow! What the hell...?
[ He lifts a hand, feeling the air in front of him - the barrier is invisible, but also, without any flaws or gaps that he can feel. Reynir turns looking at Onni, eyes round...
...because he has heard about this. Both of them have. This has been happening to people for days, and the two of them have managed to avoid it up until now. But even before a bot comes striding over to inform them, Reynir knows what's happening. It opens its mouth to speak and Reynir cuts it off, uncharacteristically short: ]
Lemme guess - we're stuck here for an hour unless we kiss, right?
[ The bot, seeming very pleased, congratulates him on already knowing what to do, and walks off. Reynir is scrutinizing that swarm of nanites, hovering above them, emitting a faint orange glow. This is definitely the weirdest bit of technology he's run into in this place, yet. ]
