[ it might as well happen. ]

Is this ash?

[ looks up at him. ]

Soot.

I see...

[ that's fine. ]

Do your clothes not get dirty?

They do. I change them often.

I see.

[ fascinating. he starts walking and also they're still holding hands. ]

[ getting pulled along... ]

Er, come to think of it... who are you?

Ryo Asuka.

You are Kate, correct?

Yes. It's nice to meet you.

Same to you.

What do you think of this place?

I think it's hateful.

Anything in particular, or just the situation in general that we all find ourselves in?

The situation is horrible, of course. Everything about this is unreasonable.

But there is also the lack of beds and baths. So, both.

Why? What do you think of it?

It is so far a lot more inconvenient than not.

I wonder if they won't give us a room until we are on a team? It would make sense if they want us to room together, even if it's inconvenient now.

It sounds that way.

... I hope our teams won't all be in a room together. I don't do well with sharing rooms.

It sounds like the teams will be seven to eight people each, so I hope not. It's a lot to be crowding into one space.

I would hate that...

The last place I was in was a bit haphazard with our living arrangements. I don't know what to expect.

Is that so?

We had bedrooms that we shared with another person, but I had a poor roommate situation.

Poor in what way?

He was really hostile. It was a volatile environment with him.

It was that bad?

I never want to share a room again...

Maybe it won't be so bad this time...

Although, I really hope that I won't need to share a room, myself...

Well, you're young, you may be able to convince people to move out.

I wonder...

People in these places do seem very willing to accommodate me, which is quite the opposite of what I'm used to...

Is that so? Do people not have manners where you're from?
