really? that's so neat you'd find something familiar to you all the way out here

okay so something filling to eat, and a drink should i do anything else to help?

But Arisu and Kuzuryu, they’d say that’s even more reason to be kind, wouldn’t they. Kuina might say that, too, come to think of it. Chishiya sighs before responding.]
There are other types of work you can do. They’ll let you help with things like mending and weaving. That’s what I did.

Maybe take a long break from the heavy physical labor, if you’re not used to it.
