A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Midori is anything but tiny. By the 1890s, department stores and mail-order catalogs were selling mass-produced ready-to-wear clothes in standardized styles and price ranges. A second detail makes the picture even better: Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. So a round of Midori is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer fashion and style timeline.
