> Quietly approach Yumi from the left side, floating so we don't make any footfall noise.
> Bend down and, as gently as possible, place a finger on the back of the lower half of her left leg. If she flinches, pull away.

> Keep going until it's done.
> Frown.> Do we need any time to recover? If so, take it.

> "I know...but I couldn't show myself to her in this state, and I wanted to find out what was up with her."

> "Me too. But I'm the disproportionate woman she saw earlier, so I couldn't exactly appear in front of her looking normal."

> "One is asking, at least..."
