But the even-measured air of friendliness isn't broken even slightly at that, since dealing with perceptive people is far from unusual, and Kaoru hadn't tripped up with that offhanded mention. It was a means of establishing distance: "in the same way that people from the future have learned your name second-hand, I also have" - something like that. The question is met with a nod that lacks hesitation.]
Those names have spread far even in my own time, of course, though the distance that it travels only grows.
[Those dang gumis and their notoriousness... and later just straight-up fame how rude.
But that statement - most people have someone they need to have around - ah... that's a little bit of a sore spot. Kaoru's hands fold together somewhat uncertainly.]
Most people, perhaps... Though I'm not entirely certain if that's the sort of "lost" that can be fixed easily here. Helping new arrivals settle in and get used to the technology and the layout of the city is the most that many can do. If anything, I would say an individual's ability to make plans and decisions would benefit them the most when adapting to life here...
LMAO no worries!! ive been doing that a lot lately myself...
