Ice cream in Allston — always chocolate; the involuntary laugh

texture · YDAU present

• When: YDAU present, a warm-evening walk.
• What: At the ice-cream counter Schtitt tries exotic flavors while Mario "always chickens out and opts for good old basic chocolate"; at the table Schtitt answers the unvoiced tennis/suicide question (maybe no difference except the chance to play) and roars laughing, and Mario — who involuntarily laughs whenever anyone else does — echoes it and loses a dollop of chocolate down his chin.
