[ Unfortunately, having a smart Exposition Friend only does you any good if she's around to help explain things... and since she isn't, Ritsuka is just going to have to do her best. Her understanding is kind of limited and basic, but she is kind of (kind of!) getting a better hang on what to say. ]

And the thing about Kipposhi is that--he's actually really smart, but also an idiot. It's more common than you'd think.

[ The exit!! She starts to speed up a little, eager to be out. ]
