"Most people I speak to have at least seen some Japanese television before. I apologize," says Takuma-san. "But you appeared here and Swan-san has been taking care of you?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Would it be all right if I brought you to a hospital where there's a psychic esper who might be able to help with any psychic problems you are having?"

"That's the thing I want most!"

"We will have to go on the train, all right?"

"Ummmm.  Swan-san said you might have clothes for me?"

"She did mention that you didn't have a change of clothes. I think the dress I brought will be a bit big on you but you can try it on." It's in her bag, pink and ruffly.

"Thank you so much, ma'am.  Umm.  We can go on the train."

"It really is a bit big, I'm sorry." She puts it away and leads Kennedy out to the subway station.

"It's okay."

...Even though the dress is horrendously juvenile, she still would like to hold the social worker's hand?

Takuma-san will hold her hand so she does not get lost in the crowded subway station.

There are so many people here and all of them can see her... hopefully, everyone she's talked to has been right and nobody cares about who she is enough to tell that she isn't supposed to look like this.

Well, not quite hopefully, per se, but she doesn't want to cry on the train without Swan-san even being around to help, so she tries to stop thinking about that.  She distracts herself with seeing how many ads she can identify the product in without being able to read Japanese.

It's most of them, there's a lot of photographs involved.

The hospital is busy and clean and bright. Takuma-san talks to a bunch of people in Japanese and then they have to go to a particular waiting room and wait.

"The psychic is an esper. Do you know how espers work?"

"Ummm, no.  I remember every adult always saying that magic monsters and superheroes weren't real."

"...okay. Yoshio-san, the psychic, just comes to work here at the hospital, she doesn't work dungeons, so I don't know if she's exactly a superhero, but she's still an esper. An esper uses their power," gesture, "and then something bad happens to them," reversed gesture. "They can fix their backlash from using their powers in private later, but when you see an esper working, they have some kind of problem at least a little. They don't always tell everyone what bad thing happens to them, and I don't know what it is for Yoshio-san, but it is particularly important that when you see her, you are polite and quiet and predictable. That way whatever is wrong with her will not get worse than it has to be for her to do her job. If there are other special instructions for how to act around Yoshio-san when you see her, her staff will tell me and I'll translate, and if you have any questions about how her powers work, you should ask them through me and not try to ask her. Does that make sense?"

"Yes, ma'am.  Ummmm.  I am always quiet and I always try to be polite, but I don't know if I can be predictable."

"She will probably not expect you to do anything, so it will be very predictable if you don't do anything."

"Yes, ma'am."

"We have a bit of a wait. Do you want to play a game on my phone while we're waiting for Yoshio-san to be ready?"

"Ummmm.  I don't know how."

"I have a bunch of them and some of them are very simple to learn." Here's 2048, how's that.

Well, she has seen people tap on the glass of these phones, so she tries that.  On this two?  ....On that one?  On the space between them??

Takuma-san demonstrates a swipe.

.....Okay, she will try that, slowly.

Huh.

"I don't understand."

"The idea is to make the biggest number you can. It'll keep giving you small ones, and your merge them together."
