A wh-what?! Oh no! This is dangerous! W-We have to abandon ship! H-How do we do that? Is there such a thing as space life-boats?

{Tohru's voice is high, shrill and panicky.}

C-Can I help anyone? Please d-don't be scared. I'm sure the Captains will figure it out. {If she sounded more sure of herself, her words might be comforting.} M-My

....what the heck is that game?

[very_grateful]

It's a Japanese game. Daihinmin means "Rich Man, Poor Man". You play it with regular cards.

[whatishardwork]

Can I actually get rich?

[very_grateful]

N-No, I'm afraid it doesn't work that way.

[whatishardwork]

What's the point in playing then?

[very_grateful]

It's just for fun. A-And to pass the time.

[whatishardwork]

Do you drink alcohol?

[very_grateful]

No, I don't. {A drunk Tohru would be pitiful.} Why do you ask?

[whatishardwork]

You don't really have any fun at all, do you?

[very_grateful]

That's not true. I have fun all the time!

[whatishardwork]

Uh-huh....

[very_grateful]

I enjoy my job, my school, my friends...
