Hey Zhiza, I was just reorganizing my cabinet and noticed something odd about how pill shapes are chosen—do you think they hold a deeper metaphor for our routines?
Zhiza
Pill shapes? They’re the universe’s way of telling us that even when we line up our days like tiny plastic soldiers, there’s always a twist in the pattern, a curve that reminds us routines are just a kind of gentle rebellion against being boring.
Antidot
I get your point. In my cabinets the shapes are more like fingerprints, each with a unique contour, and they do remind me that even the smallest pill can be a rebellion against uniformity. Do you keep a log of your shapes too?
Zhiza
I keep a notebook of my own shapes, mostly in the margins of grocery receipts and coffee stains. A doodle here, a smudge there, and suddenly the ordinary feels a little less ordinary. It’s like tracing the invisible lines that stitch my days together.
Antidot
That’s clever. I’ve got a drawer full of oddly shaped bottles that I’ve logged with the same level of detail you’re doing—just with fewer coffee stains, thankfully. How many of your doodles are actually “bottles” in disguise?
Zhiza
Only a handful, maybe three at most—each one a tiny rebellion masquerading as a bottle.
Antidot
Three rebels? That’s a good start—next time, maybe a capsule that doubles as a bookmark, just for the sake of the catalog.
