She can barely afford the crayons and paper.

Oh no! Well, she will have to get (she takes a sec-ond to rem-emember his name) Kota a stuffed animal another time too. Which is sad cause he won't be around as long as Vira (she wipes away a tear while she's thinkin about this).

If she wants to daywork at the toy store sometime they can pay her in stock, if she wants.

Oh that sounds fun!

Fika heads off to see Kota, without a stuff-ed animal for her him this time. Maybe they can play with her new cool Amentan Kitchen Stick Machine Thing 'stead?

"...Play with it how?" Kota asks when he sees it.

"I dunno! I thought you would know cause your 'mentan?"

"But I don't even know what that thing is. Is it even a toy?"

"What do you mean?"

"It says... Chef Plus. I think that means it's for cooking."

"That makes sense, it was in a cooking store."

"So you want to cook something?"

"I dunno! Prolly I will someday. Mostly I got it cause it was a cool lookin Amentan thing and I've never had any of those."

"Okay. I don't know how we'd play with it though."

Fika does known but she can figure it out! What's this button do?

Absolutely nothing.

And this one?

Also nothing. It isn't plugged in.

Fika doesn't know that and will keep pressing buttons until she and Kota are having fun.

Kota wanders off to read a comic book on his everything.

E-ventually Fika takes a break for now and climbs onto Kota to look at his comic book too.

He shifts to adjust her and they wind up in a cuddly position and he explains what is happening in the comic book (the Heroes of Justice are beating up time-traveling Imperial Oahkar bad guys with lasers and superpowers).

"What're superpowers?"

"It's when somebody can do stuff that normal people can't do."

"Hm... like how 'mentans can get bigger?"
