[ After we've gotten our clothes and items back, Kate can be found by the stream, changed into her regular clothes.
There's a white robe hanging from a nearby tree branch, apparently drying after being washed. While she waits, Kate sits on a rock by the stream and peers into the water. From behind, she probably looks like an ordinary girl. ]
It would be much easier if there weren't leeches in here, too...

[ a little hesitant at meeting someone new, but she nods. ]

Right... It's frustrating that it's been over a day and we still haven't found any leads, or even any signs of a devil.
[she's going to step closer to the stream to squint at the water... if kate would cover her face or anything like that. girl, your void.]
We'll have to figure out how to get rid of the leeches if this drags on any longer, though.

[ kate's also staring down at the water, but then... ]
Huh? A devil?
[ she turns to look at asa. ]

Yeah, a— [looks. abruptly snaps her mouth shut. her eyes widen for a brief moment, though more in guilty surprise than anything else. like when you've been shit talking someone and realize their cousin is right there.

[ as if to make things a little more awkward, little wisps of smoke start to rise from her head.

I... can't imagine. I've only ever seen devils in storybooks... I didn't think they were real.
It sounds like you come from a dangerous place...

Most days, it's very boring.
