My Home's Toilet Light That Turns Tsundere on Scorching Days, and the Dance of the Bare-Butt Fairy
Hello, it's me.
The light in my home's toilet is a convenient LED with a motion sensor that turns on instantly when you open the door.
……Or at least it's supposed to be, but when a scorching day hits, this thing suddenly goes into "tsun" mode.
No matter how many times I open the door, silence. The stall remains completely still.
Apparently, it's the infrared sensor's doing; when there's no difference between the room temperature and my body temperature, it seems it can't recognize me as a "human."
In other words, to the sensor, I am just like the air. A man who doesn't exist.
The tragedy continues. If I'm in the stall for a bit too long, the sensor decides, "Oh, there's no one here anymore," and mercilessly snaps the light off.
The surroundings are plunged into pitch-black darkness in an instant.
On days when the temperature is low, if I wave my hand a little or do a weird dance on the spot, the light turns on, as if to say, "Oh, you were there."
However, this is a toilet in the middle of a heatwave with room temperatures exceeding 38 degrees Celsius.
No matter how much I wave my hands or dance frantically, the sensor ignores me completely.
As a result, I turn into a madman who is just dancing suspiciously in a dark toilet with his butt completely exposed—that is what I become.
I have lived for half a century, been saddled with a grand role like project manager, and spend my days at the office pushing through resource management and the like.
And yet, here I am, in a confined space, desperately shaking my hips to appease an LED.
I cannot help but feel both sorrow and humor in this intense gap.
No matter what social title a human may have, we are powerless before the laws of nature and the whims of technology.
If you find your existence denied by a sensor this summer, please, cast aside your pride and try dancing. The light might not turn on, but you might gain something important—a sense of letting go.
That is all from the scene.
