You only live twice.
"Love of the S*n" is an object show created by malues
about the S*n (pronounced like 'sun'), the place objects go after they die, but before they get recovered. The first episode can be found here, and the second can be found here.
The first episode follows Charger Block, a charger block who has recently died, and has woken up in a Lotus-Eater Machine-esque facility where he's to wait until he's recovered back on Earth and his memory can be erased.
Love of the S*n contains examples of:
- Absurdly Long Wait: Charger Block and Michael wait in Charger Block's room for him to be recovered for a month.
