Oh...

[ i mean, like, that's still really cool, and that awed look is still on her face. but then it turns into the smallest of frowns. ]

That's a lot better than what most people can do. They should have made you lab support instead. Then you could help even more people when they need it.

[ She pauses in crushing up what she's working on ... and sets down her tools, looking over at Nanako. ]


... No, I think it's good that they made you lab support, Nanako.

[kotatsu]

But I have a lot of stuff to learn still and I'm not sure if I'm really good enough for it yet.

[ she has her augment, sure, and there's a lot of things that she suddenly knows how to do in terms of lab equipment and first aid. but nanako also knows there's a difference between knowing how to do something and actually doing it. ]

[ino]

Yeah, but ... you know what? That's okay. Some people here get assigned to jobs they've never done before, and it's kind of scary at first, because they don't feel like they're ready for it ... but it gives them an opportunity to challenge themselves to learn something new. Something they might not have ever thought they'd be good at.

As long as you truly want to help people, you'll be a fine lab support, Nanako. And until you feel confident enough to do it on your own, I'm happy to help you practice.

[ She gives her a reassuring smile. Nanako is definitely young, and she doesn't want to place the burden of being in charge of something so instrumental on her until she feels ready ... but she's confident that Nanako has the smarts and the determination to do a good job once she's learned the technical side of it. ]

[ she listens to ino and takes a moment to think over what she says. nanako doesn't mind learning new things, but she's never had it thrust upon her so suddenly as it has now. and it is a little scary, because her job is important and there may be people depending on her in the future.

but she's a big girl now, isn't she? she's used to taking care of herself and her father. she doesn't mind doing that for others as well.

eventually, she smiles and nods. ]

Okay. [ she just has to work hard and do her best. ] Thanks, Ino!

[ino]

[ She grins. ]

Of course! I don't want you to feel overwhelmed or worried.

[ She'll pick up the pestle again, moving to grind the plants down a little bit more. ]

We're all part of the same crew, so it's important to help each other when the others need it.
