Katashi: Let's light up a fire. We're staying here for the night.

Taeko started collecting sticks. He figured out that it was the right time to talk to Katashi.

Taeko: So, how are you planning to make me "stronger"?

Katashi stood silent with his eyes closed. He was resting on a log.

Taeko: Who is that Ethan guy that is supposed to help me?

Katashi: He went through a lot. Sit down, take a break so I can tell you about him.

Taeko sat down on the log beside him, curious about the identity of Ethan.
