My name is Ken. I need a job and a roommate.

[ ...that's it, right? Those were the first steps recommended to him, and they make sense. If this world can only be saved by people touching, then first Ken has to find people he's comfortable enough around to touch. He needs to form relationships.

He has no idea how. But he has to.

The world depends on him. ]

Thank you.

[ ....incidentally, anyone walking by Ainea's temple might notice a kid sitting outside of it, absently yet intently people-watching. ]

I appreciate it. There's only so much I can do, but please, if I can be of assistance...

[ No, sending just that is a cop-out. Here we go. Reaching out to people. He can do this! ]

I'd be happy to.

I'll keep in touch, then.

Thank you.

[ That...worked? That worked. He has somewhat more of a lead on a job, and he's met another interesting person.

Ken feels pretty proud of himself. He's glad he kept talking. ]
