“okay... the fabric softener sheets... go in the dryer. i think. this one’s where the detergent goes. right? first i hit the permanent press button...” as naturally as nabi took to her studies and job as a nurse, somehow the dreaded laundry day still intimidates her. so far, she’s mastered the first step, i.e. transferring the clothes from her laundry basket into the unknowable depths that lurk within the so-called ‘washing machine’ (which she’s not convinced isn’t a portal to another realm, considering the number of her socks that keep vanishing under mysterious circumstances). however, no matter how many kind samaritans come to her rescue and show her exactly what to do next, she just can’t seem to get the hang of it, thus the way she's standing here in front of her machine in lukewarm debate with herself. there are just too many buttons to hit in just the right order, too many measurements to get just right, too many opportunities to mess the whole thing up. “mm...” she’s standing steeped in indecision, pondering, tapping her lip with one fingertip the way she’s seen many humans do when deep in thought — when suddenly the already running machine to her left kicks into her favorite part of the cycle, where the clothes within whirl and twirl in rapid circles of swirling colors and she immediately stops to watch instead with a wide, awestruck smile.
