[There’s another blank stare at the motion before she catches on quickly, though she can’t help but be confused. Either Neo couldn’t speak, or... thought herself too good to speak to Sae? Sae figures it’s more likely she can’t, but what did she know? Maybe some foreigners were just like that.

(Could she really call anyone a foreigner here though? They kind of all were now.)

She bows politely] I’m Kurosawa Sae. I’m afraid I’ve only arrived recently so, I...I don’t really know where nothing is yet. I don’t know where the housing might be anymore... I’m lost.

[She can feel the compulsion to follow Neo around loosen somewhat, but she doesn’t think about why that is too much right now.]
