[she wants to ask about the future instead of thinking about eating their new friends, but it's fine!]

Karma. [immediately just pinpointing the feral child.]

[ She can ask whenever she finds the opportunity. ]

He'd use people as leech feed.

[she will but now she's scared about leeches?]

Is that better or worse, actually?

This is just like a half-full or half-empty question.

[ IT IS NOT ]

Aren't those questions usually reserved for situations where one outcome is actually better than the other? These are both kind of bad!

Well, in one of them you're technically alive.

[ So! ]

At least until the leeches bleed you dry...does that really count in this case?

It'd take a while and that means time to possibly escape.

[ Yeah! ]

If those are my only two choices, then I guess leeches it is. [a beat.] That isn't permission to actually bring leeches anywhere near me.

I'm anti-leeches.

[ to be clear ]

As opposed to Karma being pro-leeches? [she does sort of sigh tiredly.] Maybe we should find a better way to get people to stop bringing the leeches out of the swamp and leave them where they belong.

I wonder if we can ask the goats to eradicate them. They can live in the swamp, but keep our stream clean!

[ The word "future" floats elsewhere on him. ]

[i'm GETTING THERE HEI.]

If they're able to do other small favors for us, it's worth a try. [her eyes do, in fact, settle on the word again.]

...Gojo, are you aware your tattoo is moving?

[assigns it as traveling tattoo.]

[ I AM NOT PRESSURING STOP YOU DON'T NEED TO i just know i can probably forget after sleeping ]

I requested something already, so it may need to wait until next week. [ looks at word, i guess? ] Oh... Becoming an adult is so scary...

[that is fair, but i want to know.]

I kinda wanna know what, but maybe that's a surprise for later. [because. being an adult is a time. she's silent for a moment as she decides how to phrase this.] Are you worried about growing up? Or what will happen to the future as a whole?

It's not really special, just something to charge my cellphone.

[ HIS ENRICHMENT OF SCROLLING THROUGH HIS PHOTOS LIKE A SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICT

How long can he pretending to be a baby ]

Growing up is eh, it'll happen. Changing a society will be hard and will take time. It's stuff like that.

[ Daunting. ]

Oh. It might not be special but it could be helpful for later. [his ENRICHMENT and she's out here thinking COMMUNICATION.

anyway. she seems to be assessing him with that.]

Is it up to you to change a whole society? [curious. she doesn't say that it doesn't have to be just him or question what that means, she's asking what this is to him.]

If they decide to give us cellular data, maybe.

[ and then him and todomatsu can text each other secrets. ]

No! But! I want to. I wish it was up to me.

I'd say you could ask but that definitely sounds beyond their capabilities at this point. [but my god it would sure be easier to keep track of everyone with phones. instead, she's more focused on what gojo's talking about.]

A want is still pretty powerful, I think. Who's it up to in that case? [do you also have an evil corporation looming over your head.]

[ Satoru also thinks that it would be convenient if they all had phones. Or if they upgraded the crows.

...... ]

Old people.

[ the antagonists of real life. ]

[.......yeah no she agrees, apparently, judging by the look on her face.]

And because they're older and have set the precedence for the world, it's harder to bring the change around even if it's actually maybe making the future worse. Something like that?

That's cooooorrect!

[ Like she's in a game show. ]

"This is how it has always been." "If it works, it doesn't need to be fixed." "Back in my day, sorcerers can take on twenty missions in one single day."

[ Hyperbole... Not real, but similar. ]

But does it actually work? [or does it only work for them...questions.] I can't blame you for not looking forward to that then. Or wanting to be the one to change it.

During their heyday, but things change.

[ Throws arms up and stretches. ]

It's not like I'm dreading it. There's just a lot of ways to mess up.

Sure. Even if it gets messed up, there are ways to fix it. But only if it doesn't get messed up too far. [i.e. the end of the world.]
