  Maybe there wasn’t enough context. The characters are on an important mission. They step into the casino for a short bit, only to emerge much, much (weeks? months?) later because they were entertained so thoroughly (and addicted to the flowers?). Social media, doom scrolling, etc are doing the same thing to people around me. One day they’ll wake up and find they wasted the best part of their life in front of a screen (and I’m not referring to tech work - we all gotta eat, but that’s only 8 hours of a day.
