*like some sort of wisp or ghost, the Alternate Sadame can be spotted in the city.

While they prefer to stay in the safety of the Arboretum unless needed, the nature of the hiding place means they can't establish any permanent method of getting food or water.

Which means they need to wander out into the city to head for a convenience store or something, hoping partially that they'll unblinkingly accept their money.

Or, worse case, be able to steal things effectively enough.

You should help them to not steal.*

... ...

Pod hotels have showers, correct?

[wherethewildthingsare]

Net cafes have those nowadays, but yes.

[timesflow]

I will consider it, then. Respectfully.

*Surprisingly they accept the card. and the bagged food items.*

[wherethewildthingsare]

He's not gonna tell them he'll recharge the card intermittently. Doesn't wanna scare them, now.

I genuinely just want to help.

[timesflow]

*they'd find that very weird if they knew, yes.*

Well... I suppose I can accept that, too. That you are trying.

But it will be better for the whole if you forget you saw me.

[wherethewildthingsare]

In several split-timelines, his next-line is a clumsy compliment about not being able to forget someone as cute as them. Things degrade from there.

I don't intend to get involved in your business 'less you force me.

[timesflow]

*had a horrible momentary expression, before hiding their face behind the hood*

Ah. Well, good. I'm glad you understand that.

[wherethewildthingsare]

...I don't suppose you have any way of getting in contact.

[timesflow]

Giving you a means of contact would rather. Defeat the purpose of me saying "please forget you saw me", wouldn't it?

[wherethewildthingsare]

It could be one way.

[timesflow]

For one-way purposes? No. I don't have any method of that.

*are we even sure they have a phone.*
