[For a brief, blissfully ignorant second, Atsushi is glad for the glasses. It means he won't have to explain the particulars of moonlacing, and how much Chroma you could roughly get from what. You can't live off of handholding but you can get a job, and that's fine isn't it?

But then Ranpo is staring. And then he's actually turning red and--

Oh no, no this awkwardness is infinity worse than explaining things, isn't it? Atsushi's also bright red, especially looking mortified when Ranpo straight up throws his glasses onto the table like he's horrified at whatever information he's gleaned, and...

Atsushi doesn't want to know what deductions he'd made, he's pretty sure he'd die on the spot.]

T-That's... probably a good idea! A very, very good idea. Let's do that! Let's forget we ever discussed this, it's fine, it's perfectly fine, I know you didn't mean it like that..!
