[Honestly, being able to help Kumon feel a little better helps him to feel a little better in return. He pulls back a little, reaching up to ruffle his hair.]
No problem. It's rough out here, but that doesn't mean we can't be there for each other.
--Oh, right. [THE WHALE.] Basically, if you spend enough tokens on the gumball thingy, you'll getthis whale icon on your phone. You gotta go talk to a resident after that and once they unlock it, you can trade coins for stuff from home.
I'm glad we can finally start to talk about stuff a little more openly, too. Like, I couldn't talk about that weird task thing on my phone after that first dream for weeks.

That's what I think too.
[It's just, unfortunately, he needs support more often than he can give it. Local normie is way out of his depth.]
no subject
Mm. [A beat, and then:] Did you talk to him a lot? Atsushi.
no subject
He really is a kind person.
[He doesn't think this refraction is Atsushi's fault.]
no subject
This musta been a pretty rough one, then. I mean - they all are.
no subject
It's never easy.
no subject
Nah, it never is. ...Keep an eye out for anyone acting weird tonight, okay?
no subject
I will. You too. Be careful?
no subject
Mm, I will. ...Thanks, though. Let's do our best tomorrow, too.
no subject
Right.
[Pauses.]
Um... also, you said something about a whale?
[Which he's never heard of?]
no subject
--Oh, right. [THE WHALE.] Basically, if you spend enough tokens on the gumball thingy, you'll getthis whale icon on your phone. You gotta go talk to a resident after that and once they unlock it, you can trade coins for stuff from home.
no subject
Huh... That's a round about way to do something like that. I don't have any powers back home, maybe that's why I haven't seen it.
no subject
Maybe, yeah? But it can be other stuff, too. Like, that's how I got my sword back.
no subject
I'm glad you were able to get it back.
no subject
[Though there's a little flicker of guilt, because this had happened before he knew there were potentially life-saving gumballs to be had.]
It's something to keep in mind, anyway. That it's there as an option.
no subject
Thanks for letting me know.
