Oh. Sorry. I guess I should have warned you that it's high level stuff. I'm taking trig this year.

[heavenscorpse]

That means you're really smart, right?

[second_destiny]

...Um.

[Ahaha. He's way too humble to admit to something like that. Not to mention having a genius for a father.]

Well, I...am a bit smarter than the average person. I guess. When it comes to math. But this is nothing compared to my dad.

[heavenscorpse]

Even if there are smarter people in the world, I don't think that makes you any less smart. You should be proud of that.

[second_destiny]

[That gets a look of surprise. That's probably the best thing anybody has ever told him.]

I...guess you're right. Thank you.

[heavenscorpse]

You're welcome. What are you going to do after you're done with your homework?

[second_destiny]

Dunno. I haven't decided yet. I might hop on the computer and see what's going on online.

[heavenscorpse]

Won't it be similar to yesterday?

[second_destiny]

What, the Internet? No, it changes every day as new things come out. People talk, news gets posted...stuff like that.

[heavenscorpse]

You could spend all your time looking at it then.

[second_destiny]

I could if I wanted to. But I don't think I'll find that much interesting.

[heavenscorpse]

How big is the Internet?

[second_destiny]

...Um.

[Asemu has no idea how to answer that question.]

I don't think anybody knows, for sure. But it's bigger than any person could ever hope to see in their lifetime.

[Certain commercials notwithstanding.]

[heavenscorpse]

No wonder you don't just finish it in one sitting.

[second_destiny]

Yeah. There's gotta be trillions...no, quadrillions of pages out there.

[heavenscorpse]

That's a big number. I've never heard of quadrillions of anything before.

[second_destiny]

Not even something like stars or astronomical units?

[heavenscorpse]

...Space is really big, but most stars don't matter to people on Earth.

[second_destiny]

Not...really? Astronomers and navigators depend on the number and positions of the stars.

[heavenscorpse]

I mean really big. Most stars you can't know anything about.
