"Is Tamernet even an adequate platform?" Amelie scoffed. "Sides private messages between people who already know each other, it seems like a nest for memes and shitposts. I'm unsure on whether revamping it would fix any of its issues, but I think that's a worthwhile project, even if a bit undoable due to the lack of necessary technology. There's probably some digimon that could help you with the theory, however; I know a few that are well-versed on time-space manipulation, so maybe something can come out of that."
Surely, a certain scientist that would eventually set foot on Ys would help, but that was a tale that would be found later. "I like the notion of building schools, though. Educating the next generation to be more accepting of the other species is one of the best way to ensure there's a future for digimon-human relations, among other things. Education is the key to a brighter future; that much is obvious."
It was interesting how a war with Ys had been teased, yet the topic was purposely kept under wraps right afterward. Not like Amy cared. The topic regarding on which time to visit Yuuki? That was a whole different question, even if... "I don't really have a preference. We can hang out for as long as you want, for all what I care. Ys is a pretty big city, after all!"
The picture was pretty good! Definitely worthy for the cover of a well-respected fashion magazine. No gravure shots. Only Pega villains would do that. And only Pega villains would show that to an underage girl. Speaking of which!
"Maybe our designer friends can meet someday! I'm sure that if they collaborated, some breathtaking designs would be given life. Now, it definitely must happen." She sentenced, a big grin on her face. "I think I'll buy everything. Gotta initiate the Ysian fashion trend somehow, I guess."
It took her a small pause before the brunette decided on what to do next. "I wanna taste some of the traditional Ysian food now. Do you know any place we can get that? I'm excited to try the local cuisine!" At this pace, she'd become an expert on Ysian culture in no time! But they had time to spare, so... why not seize it?

"That's why I said 'Upgrade', you see..." Karin retorted. "I mean at this point we're so well aware of trolls in the forums and whatnots... sometimes people forgot that there are actually lives behind those avatars... and sometimes they're looking for information that might be so damn crucial to their life... then again I agree it's probably best to not use Tamernet for any life threatening situation, best ask your trusty friends instead."
"Oh about education, we're doing this little... i guess free lunch program? Basically, go inside library, art museum or museum then take a quiz at the end. If you got high enough of a score, you can get a free lunch on the related cafeteria. Speaking of which, the higher your score is compared to the minimum, the better the meal you'll get. An A score would land you on quite a luxurious meal, and the best scorer that day would get a special set not purchasable in the canteen. Quite exciting isn't it?"
As long as they want huh...
"Well, I guess I'll give him more time by being a bit tardy. He should probably take more of his time on napping anyway," Karin answered. The talk of designer friend though? "I think he'd love that. There's not that many that's enthusiastic about fashion or sharing their fashion design. So he'll definitely like it. Buying everything? Are you sure though?"
Karin took off her clothes in changing room and changed back to her previous clothes. "Well, this is more comfortable for me. Who knows, if people really like it, they might try my white cat style or something."
"The traditional food it is? Well then, perhaps we can find some on the food court."
Ysian traditional foods are mostly based on fishes caught in their tunnelway that apparently led to underwater cavern. The fishes are unique in shapes and fatty. This is because the water down there are colder, and somehow planktons are very plenty. There are obviously also meats, and various fruits that seem only grows in Ys. However, most of the cuisines involves crustaceans such as hermit crabs (huge sized one, not small sized ones), crabs, lobster... or slugs. They're thankfully looking appetizing, and more to squidlike after cooked.
"...I normally hate slugs, but Ys ones turns red after cooked which honestly made it easier and appetizing to me," Karin commented.

"Fair enough, fair enough. I'm sure that, from the get-go, your product will be better than something with as little moderation as Tamernet; free speech is nice and all, but I think that everything eventually degenerates when nobody is taking care of it. Such is human nature, I guess." Tamer nature? Digimon nature? Ultimately, she guessed that there might be more in common between the two species than what one might think.
She wasn't going to lie; Karin had good ideas, and the fact that an incentive could be placed at the end of the line in order to encourage any students to thrive was something she hadn't quite thought about. Quite ingenious, honestly! "I might steal that one; well, the concept, that is. The application might differ, but the concept will probably be quite similar."
After all, education in the Dark Area was probably both scarcer and more precious than in the North; when a whole ocean managed to separate you from the nearest city, things got somewhat dicer for sure. A shrug followed Karin's proposal regarding the fact they could be a little late, considering that Yuuki was currently trying his best at resting. Must've been quite exhausted!
"I'm sure they'll become good friends. Katherine is a good girl! I've seen some of her work, and I gotta say it's quite impressive." An affirmative nod confirmed that, indeed, Amy wanted to buy all the wares she liked, going as far as to not bother changing into her previous clothes. That would've been a bit of an annoyance, so instead, she focused on the prospect of trying the place's peculiar food. It seemed like this place's repertoire was quite varied! That was a good thing, even if it was likely that the brunette wouldn't be able to try everything the first time.
Then again, that gave her an opportunity to come here for a second attempt. "Everything sounds quite tasty. Why the hate against slugs, though? Escargot is one of the most iconic dishes of French cuisine, and I'm sure that anyone who has tasted it was pleasantly surprised. Oh well! Not like I'll judge another person's tastes when mine are quite peculiar. Shall we head for the food court? If I recall correctly, you hadn't placed its location on any district, but if I had to guess... it's probably on this one? I'm not entirely confident on that, though."
Amelie seemed thoughtful as she formulated her answer. Not like a small trip would do her any harm. "What's this city's history?" She couldn't help but ask. "Did you guys find it here and decide to restore it, or was the who tale a bit different?" Ys' origins were clouded in mystery, given that the place looked like quite the anomaly. Frankly, Amy didn't expect for Karin to have the answer for that, but trying didn't hurt, right?

"Well that's what you get when you're doing 2ch style message board with no clear administration. Not to mention it doesn't even filter the people inside of it. It's a lawless land. I mean, the idea was great, it was rather nice and all, but... sometimes people forgot that Digital World is far more serious than trolling for fun... and there are indeed criminals that may use it for crime. I guess "
Steal that one idea? "That's fine with us. It's not quite the original idea but it definitely works! It gives babies incentives in learning basic school lessons and it gives higher stages reason to develop their interests and knowledge.We're fighting illiteracy and apathy toward studies with food."
Why the hate toward snail? "I guess it's just hard to...find it appetizing? Or at least it is to me. I don't quite like anything slimy with meaty texture. Juicy is fine but whenever I saw snails I can't really think it as juicy but as slimy instead. By the way, the food court is... just downstairs or top floor actually," Karin corrected. "Pick the one you want by the way. If you want to eat in restaurant instead of actual food court, we can get out from here, but food courts are better if you want to eat different foods in one place."
The food court is exactly that... a terrace with several small restaurants arranged in square. Because today it's storming, the roof are closed, but usually it's open. There are two food courts. One at the lower floor,another at the top. The lower floor one usually for those who wanted to see the city's activity directly, while the one on the top floor meanwhile is for more silent dining and seeing the scenery.
"Hmmm, the city's history? It was discovered few months ago... so I guess it's about a year or two Digital World time? It was abandoned... but even then it was looking rather... I have no idea how to describe it, but if I were to say... like suddenly everyone just vanished into thin air? Whatever they done seem to be abandoned midway, like they're suddenly kicked out of the city... but there are no sign of violence.
We indeed found it... and then we decided to call it our base. It happened to align with our desire to create a haven for human and Digimon alike, to show to the world that humans are beneficial to Digimon... less of vice versa really because it's unlikely that non-chosen humans could breach Digital World gate... Either way from there we decide to develop it... this is the story that put inside Ys Museum at least...There are more about it, but I'll leave that to Yuuki later."

Karin was preaching to the choir, more or less. Both disagreed rather flippantly on how such a project should be managed, and for good reason. Sure, criticizing something was pretty simple, but that also didn't mean that the criticism wasn't correct. It was a bit of a slippery slope to learn when something like that became gratuitous. However, that didn't change their truth.
"Hey. Not like having access to a parallel world will suddenly make a bunch of teenagers responsible, you know? Especially when that parallel world is a lawless paradise, and most of said teenagers revel on that fact. It's also one of the reasons why I think that DATS aren't entirely bad people. I think that any control on the digimon populations of Japan is way better than no control at all. There's no way to gauge what kind of repercussions something like that might have in the long term."
Ys' own education program seemed fairly robust. "You could say you're satiating their hunger for knowledge, even." Yup, a pretty bad pun, but it seemed fitting for the situation at hand. "I might come see how you put that in practice firsthand. It seems pretty interesting."
Just like how the blonde seemed to not be a fan of something that could be considered a delicacy in the Frenchwoman's country of origin. Everyone had their own tastes, and had all the right to be wrong if so they wished.
"Oh. Let's just go upstairs, then." That had been fairly simple in hindsight! It was a matter of time before the trio found themselves in the rather spacious and comfortable food terrace; while the brunette browsed on her potential dishes to taste, Karin began to retell Ys' history. At plain sight, it seemed like a fairly ancient city that had been stumbled upon by a stroke of luck and had been slowly restored to its former glory.
"Interesting." The young woman mused. "It seems like quite the interesting tale; I'm sure that the full version is even more interesting! The goal you have in mind is admirable as well, even though I do think humans will eventually decide this is an okay place to visit. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but hopefully someday."
Her eyes stopped on a place that sold crab cakes at first. Guess that was the first dish she'd try.

"Alas," Karin agreed. "I guess it's something like 'Isekai paradise' or whatever they think it is. Sadly that's not the case, as we're aware... I wonder how many people fell through that sort of problem and encounter dangers that changed their view or life forever? Or how many that lost their life because they think they're some superhero? I can't help but to imagine that..."
Either way, this talk is getting too long, isn't it? Well, at any rate... Karin is glad that they agreed on the fact that people need to be more responsible, and some order definitely needed.
"Well, if you want to see you're free to try yourself on the northern district later, yes? However, it's best to take it later at leisure rather than ~1 hour before the appointed time... considering there are actually a lot of question that you need to answer. By the way, for the first time the quiz are easy, but as you take it more and more it'll adjust to your education level to make it harder for you," Karin explained.
The crabcakes, it's simple, easy, yet at the same time delicious. The crabs of Ys seem to have quite the texture meat on them. It's a bit thicker, chewier than regular crab meats. In fact, the texture is similar to those faux crab cakes sold in supermarket, except this one is more sinewy. The texture seems to be what the local enjoys though, because there are people who even bought five serving of it (totalling to 25 pieces)
"Crabcakes are like the local's staple food, I think," Karin would say "plus the crabs in here grows huge because there are no natural predators to them..." she pointed at a huge crab on the kitchen, where it's approximately two to three times bigger than king crabs.
"They're also considered a bit of a pest in breeding season, so we often got a lot."

A shrug was the most fitting response to Karin's statement. "Power is inebriating if you don't know how to handle it. If that kind of people met an untimely end because they got drunk with it, there's not much to say or do about it. I wouldn't even know if to call it a tragedy or not, honestly. Nobody should endorse recklessness."
Those words were rather cold, but that was genuinely how the girl felt in regards to that topic. That people weren't deserving of her sympathy in the slightest. "I wouldn't be surprised if the number is fairly high, however. Seen my fair share of people who just... do what they feel doing no matter how dangerous it might seem. I'd almost say that it's a trend this world has, but that's just me."
Their talk had indeed gotten long and intense, that much could be noted. It was a good thing that the topics changed seamlessly; chances were that Yuuki would be awake before they ran out of things to talk about, but that was fine as well. "Fair enough. Your comments have been noted." The brunette grinned at the blonde's statement. She wasn't all that concerned about her warnings, even though, all things considered, wanting to experience Ys' education system firsthand and wanting to do well were two entirely different things.
Crabcakes seemed like a pretty interesting topic, considering how many details Karin had put on describing them. A local staple, huh? "Don't disagree. This thing is quite good. Never thought I would see anything like abundance of food or an animal with no natural predators in the north, however. I would've thought some arctic digimons had a say regarding that, but if you say so..."
Maybe those types just craved combat or something. Eating crabs didn't seem like the most thrilling choice from that mindset, but... "A pest for whom? Snowflake residents or...?" Since they were pretty much a food source, unless they couldn't be harvested reliably, that was a bit hard to believe. But... those were thoughts breed from ignorance. As far as she saw, those things looked like a pretty reliable food source.

"I think the word was... 'Absolute power corrupts absolutely' was it?" Karin mused "Then again I heard the true nature of someone is revealed when they're given power they desired so much. Those who are truly strong generally would not get swept by their power and suddenly changed their entire personality from good to bad... Then again, if you think about it, is people who truly get power and have that power become their downfall... I wouldn't call them tragic. I would call them merely unfortunate.
Plus, Digimon is not a pure power either. I can understand if it's spirit user, but two out of three cases, Digimon have their own personality. That means it doubles as their own responsibility to stop their partners if they started being too reckless. Granted, playing blaming game is not going to help anyone, but that's my view of the subject."
"If you ask me," Freya would begin "usually the first thing to do is to understand each other's limitation. For example, not all Digimon understood how squishy humans are. Digimons are combat species, and tends to pull the humans to their endeavor of getting stronger... Pair it with gung-ho, adventure loving teens that Digital World seem to love, it's a recipe for disaster."
"So what do you feel could possibly help?"
"A slap of reality, speaking frankly," Freya answered. "Nothing wakes someone up faster than a slap of reality. The danger however must be proportional... And perhaps being stuck in Digital World for another would be a good wake up call too. This world pretty much become a rite of adulthood in my opinion. Those who takes lesson from this world will see how beneficial it is. But those who thinks this world as their playground would soon encounter death faster than those who took it seriously."
"Well that's because the Ys Crabs only lives in underground water cavern in Ys. We found abundance of them one time, totaling about no less than five hundred thousand crabs. There are no Digimon there, just... crabs. It was literally a hell of crabs. We had to clean them up before setting the waterway system for the city, but apparently there are still a lot of crabs elsewhere around here..."
Pest for who?
"For farmers over here of course. We got about a thousand or so? Unused farmfield that is. In hectares that is. They enjoy surfacing and nomming on our harvest. Well, in that sense they're offering themselves for us to eat. They're not smart, thankfully, so we never had any shortage of the crab meats. Ah by the way, the snails are in less quantity, so they're a bit of a luxury food. We're trying to breed them in some way. Want to buy some?"

It was an interesting comment to make; Amy nodded to it. "Maybe. I can see how being weak-willed would be an overall hindrance when having access to such a high amount of power. I also think it comes with one's mindset towards it. There's an obvious difference between those who seek power as a means to an end... and those who search for it just for the sake of having more. That can't ever end well, can it?"
Karin was right on tamers —and xros generals, maybe?— having it easier than most other chosen, however. Having more minds at work decreased the chances of a mistake eventually happening, that was for sure. But, on the other hand... "While the opposite is true more often than not, I've seen partner digimon who aren't very fond of their tamers. Everything is possible in this marvelous world, I guess? Just because synergy is more likely than conflict, it doesn't mean we're exempted from the latter."
And that wasn't to say that Freya had a more than a fair point. Reaching a common understanding with a digimon tended to be something that took its fair amount of time. Or shared risks. Both could do the trick. "Yeah, but measuring risks isn't something you have the luxury of doing, you know? Most of the time, you'll have to make do with what you have at hand, unless you manage to find another chosen or digimon kind enough to guide you through the first steps of your journey. But I guess I digress. I'd say that if you survive your first two or three months of Digital World adventures, you're pretty much set for life unless you get really reckless; nothing to do in the face of that."
Not a lot more could be added, in all honesty. Had they reached an agreement? Probably.
Crabs, on the other hand, kept on being a very interesting topic. The whole story ended up being mildly interesting, even if Amy couldn't quite draw many conclusions from it, besides the fact that it had been terribly convenient.
"Sure. I'd be interested in buying some snails, if you can ensure me they're top-quality. It's been a while since I've eaten them."

"But what if you don't need power and suddenly it got offered to you? Like someone who was normal, and suddenly they won four billion yens worth of lottery money? People might at first content with talking friends that might be very fluffy, or very cute, or one that would listen to you and be on your side all the time... but when you know that there are a lot players in this world... what if that "extra" become something that you "need"?" Karin asked.
"Well in that case, are you sure it's what you "need"? There is difference between "need" and "necessity"," Freya would answer "I think it's important to ask question for yourself... 'after this, then what?'. After you got power then what? When are you satisfied? After then what should you do after you're satisfied? Aiming for top is not a great mindset to have when it comes with competition with huge wage... such as life, that is. So I don't think 'being the strongest' in context of Digital World is worth it. Either way... People changes. They change based on the condition. Adaptability is double edged sword. Adaptability without the heart and logic will only bring you to the shortest path to improvement, but one that you may regret hard."
There are partners who are not fond of one another huh... "...But isn't that rather contradictory?" Karin asked. "While if we're talking about in literature sense, two protagonists that at odd with one another might be an interesting angle, but... considering that human and Digimon partner are supposed to benefits from bonds..."
"...Right, it sounded counterproductive both in paper and practice is it not?" Freya commented. "But that's how it is. Reality at times stranger than fiction. Digimons perhaps think that even if they kill their partner and then themselves, they won't be penalized at all. It's rare to have a 'mon so against being partnered, but they exist. Super extreme types are very rare though. And I don't think such cases like that exist."
Two, or three months adventure?
"So abut a year or two experience in Digital World?" Karin asked. "Haven't been there yet I think."
Top quality?
"Silly Amelie. Everything in Ys is top quality. If not, we'll lose face and people would think 'Ys must be rather shifty to let such low quality food pass'. We don't have that high of a bar that makes everyone suffer under stress, but we will not cut corners either when it comes to our tourism industry," Karin retorted. She obviously returned with... escargot-like dish? Except the snail meats are red and white, almost like octopus in a way.

"I can't tell for sure." She pondered, even if she ended up ultimately shrugging. "In the end, what each person does with their Digital World experience is up to them. If they want to get drunk with their perception of newly-attained power, that's their prerogative. No action is free of consequences, however; eventually, everything gets paid back, I feel."
Only then, she proceeded to wave off Freya's statement. The behavior described was precisely what she hoped to avoid. "It seems pointless. Why would anyone strive to be the strongest, or anything like that? There's inherently nothing to be gained from that. Especially since what's true today might not be so tomorrow. Putting value on something as intangible and mercurial as that isn't bound to end well, like at all. In the end, I think; if one were to take this world 'seriously', I feel like some sort of structure would be needed. Otherwise, I see how things could spiral out of control from one moment to the next."
There wasn't a lot more that could be said. As uncle Ben would say; in order to harness a great power, a great degree of restraint and control was necessary. Something a lot of residents of this world, or newly chosen for that matter, seemed lo utterly lack. But it wasn't their job to fix that, right? At least hers wasn't.
"I sure hope they are, then. I consider myself a bit of a snail connoisseur myself, so it'd be a pity if I ended up disappointed, don't you think? It's a pity that the Digital World doesn't have its own Michelin Guide."
A mischievous smile belied that she was obviously joking, even if she was still waiting for the merchandise to arrive. Once the dish was there, she took a bit to smell it and watch the presentation before thrusting the fork forward. At least the consistency was quite good; what about the smell? It was alright.
"Quite good actually. For now, it gets a passing grade." She didn't have a lot of time to talk, anyway. Gotta eat.

"Indeed, I guess you're right there," Karin answered. "Then again... how to wall yourself without losing yourself in the process from this power? Honestly... I don't think that I know what to do either if I got trusted with such power. Digimons... tends to be very competitive don't they?"
"Yes, Digimons are usually competitive, but I think it comes with our nature as the combat species," Freya answered. "But regardless you shouldn't worry, I'm not the competitive type. And it's not like someone would suddenly challenges us in the middle of a road just to fight them. This is not Pokemon... well, I believe it's not and there won't be anyone that stupid to do it."
Freya however chuckled at Amelie's answer. "I think we got crossed wires here. Yes, that's why I said it's a bad idea. That's why thinking after I get stronger then what, is important in a sense. If you don't have other passion than getting stronger then you will feel empty sooner or later. That's why Ys always operates in system where we encourage growth in other way than just fighting. We encourage secondary interest, which we judge to be as important as improving physically and mentally."
Well, looks like Amelie approves the consistency and whatnot? That aside, the promised time is soon. "...Well then, after this, do you have anywhere to go to? I think this is about everything... there's farm and the production area, but that one is under construction... So it's... very noisy if I can be honest... There's also hot spring, but those are under construction too... hmmm..."
Well, does Amelie have any place that she wanted to be in?

Not a lot could be said in regards to Karin's question, in all honesty. "It's called self-control. Or temperance, if you want to call it that way; alternatively, you can just say like, given how each individual person is better to do certain tasks over others, that some people handle power better than others." A small pause was issued. The next words wouldn't be easy. "This might sound like I'm a social Darwinist or something, but I firmly believe that some people are more fit for this kind of situation than others. Just like how some people are better followers than leaders. If you thrust a follower into a leader's position, they either adapt to it or... whatever they're leading just crumbles. That's just how things are; they might be harsh, but it isn't like there aren't any alternatives. If you're dumb enough to go through the most dangerous path, or to heed the advice of a digimon who wants to go through it, then I'm sorry, but I think you're deserving of whatever might be happening to you."
A nod was given to Freya. "Competitive doesn't necessarily have to be a synonym to stupid. And a human should be conscious that death is relatively cheap for digimon. If they die? No biggie, they can just reformat some time afterward and go back to their business. But... with humans? Once they kick the bucket, that's the end of the line to them. Excluding funny shenanigans that usually end on them being turned into abominations that defy any kind of natural order, that's all there's for them. And I'd honestly... rather not."
But... that was ultimately something that didn't matter. "I guess we're agreeing, then. And arguing over it." A chuckle escaped her mouth right away. Guess she was a very conflictive person, wasn't she? In any case... "I support your stance, though, and I think I've made that plenty clear. In any case..."
What to do now? Honestly, the brunette had no idea. "I think I've run out of ideas." She replied, truthfully. "So... anywhere you want to go? If you want to show me the sights, that's fine. If not... I guess we can find a nice place and enjoy the scenery while Yuuki gets ready? No preference."
That was it, more or less! With any luck, they'd be ready soon.

"Well, if you believe you're so, then I guess I'm also a social darwinist. Indeed as you said I guess sometimes it's sink or swim... There's not much to rebutt there, fools would be fools, I guess. Still, I can't help but to think this "society" stuff is at times very heavy. Sometimes, by following incompetent leader, you could end up dying. You can say "but that's their choice", but what if they don't have choice and both are going down the same ditch anyway? Having choices but unable to change the result I think is one of the worst thing about choices."
Though Human to Digimon conversion is... interesting, Freya honestly... "...I still feel human turning into Digimon of any kind is strange...event. I think they have too many regrets with them when they died to return back as a mon. Not to mention... the chance of being a Digimon while dying biomerged is low. It... concerns me someone thinks that "ah well I'll reborn as Digimon if I have strong bond with my Digimon".... In fact, I think chance of dying biomerged is higher than chance of dying unbiomerged.
...On that topic, there are apparently some group of Digimons in KIZNA that wanted to try the so called Flip Flop conversion... from Digital to Analog... apparently they wanted to test if there is a way to fix humans shortcomings, such as loss of limbs... and if it's possible to change Digital Structure to Analog structure. If they're successful, members who previously unable to walk or lose limbs, will probably regain that function. Unfortunately, this research will take a while. Bless Digital World time difference though... Maybe in seven years real world time, the technology would be ready."
Hmmm, sights...
"Well, I know some good sightsighting place. Let's go to the farm, and Ys' biggest park then. You can even take some of the food harvested there.. There should be about... forty five minutes. Or would you prefer to get ready and fix your appearance by dipping on onsen instead? There's a bath house in Ys' west district. You can probably relax there until the meeting."

In the end, it was probably for the best that everyone present agreed on overall Digital World philosophy. Not like they couldn't agree to disagree, but at least this made for a more pleasant conversation for the brunette. In any case...
"I don't really think it's a choice if both paths end up having the same destination, though? Choice implies different outcomes; otherwise, it's just an illusion. Don't you think so?"
Whether that was a topic that would be delved on further or not, that was yet to be seen. At least for the time being, the brunette decided to focus on the next topic, which was... less than savory, in all honesty. The brunette shouldn't even have brought it out, in all honesty.
"I'm not too keen on the idea, in all honesty. Each person has their circumstances, but I think that the whole dying then reviving thing is a digimon-only thing, and that humans should stick to what humans do. I wouldn't change my circumstances for anyone's, especially when a long life seems so pointless in hindsight. You're kinda just... stuck there, unmoving while everyone advances and generations pass. It might sound erroneous, but I think that briefness gives life meaning; otherwise, it feels like playing the same broken record again and again."
She had to agree on one thing, though. "Applying Digital World science to improve human lives is something I can get behind, though. Just as I believe in humans' innate potential to better the Digital World. I think that both species can benefit a lot from the other if they are willing to work together, something which... is definitely easier said than done."
But that was a topic that could be left for later. For now, Amy listened to Karin's suggestion, nodding right afterward. "An onsen would be lovely, in all honesty. Dipping in some warm water when it's so cold outside would feel very good. Care to join me? Being on my own would be kinda boring, in all honesty."
Last step before the meeting, she guessed.
