I've never been in a place this small before. I used to live in Beijing. Suzhou is bigger than here, too... I don't think I've ever been anywhere with less than six million people before. It's quiet here. The air is clean, and it seems like people know each other. I think maybe we could like it, in time. [The weirdness of it is undeniable, but weird is about your established norms. Maybe this place could come to be somewhere they're comfortable for as long as it takes to get home, despite the many differences between here and home.
She has no filter. But he surely knew that about her already. Perhaps that's the skill she's really bringing with her to this place.]
You aren't useless. You just need more information to come up with a plan. It's making a plan without all the information that can be bad, especially when people's lives are on the line.
I don't need as much sleep as pure humans. I can just go ask everyone one by one and take notes. [It'd be a lot of redundant information, but it would also be an extremely thorough methodology. Can't argue with results.
Her expression falls at the mention of things being missing, and it's hard to fault her when she says the reason why.] I don't have my Guanyin pendant. I... I don't have a way to snap out of it, now, if I get locked into one mode. I could get stuck until a mission is over and I get back to you, if you're not also on a mission. [That'll be an interesting bridge to cross when they come to it. She needs a handler to get her out of it. She does not necessarily trust everyone here with her real name, given how badly that could backfire if someone from higher up the food chain in her world came here and realized she was compromised. On the other hand, not telling anyone could lead to an extremely awkward situation where she's stuck in Creature mode trailing after them awaiting orders, head empty, only speaking to answer mission-related queries.]
I don't mind helping. Everyone needs to pitch in. I just don't know how to explain myself to other people here. What will they think? I don't want to compromise missions or team cohesion because I'm like this. If someone got hurt because of me...
[She's not sure how she'd cope. That is the opposite of the point of her very existence.]
