Summary: Zangetsu refuses to use the save-sofas as they look too much like the dreaded Comfy Chair Mimic.
Note: inspired by a fun way of dying in my favourite Fighting Fantasy gamebook


"Why do you never use the healing lounges?"

"I had a bad experience with a chair mimic."

"That's a chair. Not a sofa. There's no such thing as a sofa mimic. That's why these things always look like a fancy chaise lounge. You're wasting all the healing potions. Stop it."

"Okay, so never a sofa, but once, back home, there was this comfortable armchair. It turned out to be a big, fat, HUGE mimic. It devoured its prey whole as they slept!"

"Is this why you won't sleep on a normal bed?"

"Huh? No, I'm just used to a futon."
