[It's amazing what actual days of sleep will do for a sudden cold. Kino's exceptionally well rested now and fully intending to make a soup run when she sees Natalie walk into the motel.]

Ah... [Good. She survived.] How did it go?

Got sick.

[Somehow.]

I think I must have slept through everything... who died, and who was the culprit?

I'm feeling a lot better after all that rest.

[Her words bring a frown to Kino's face, however.]

...He didn't seem like the type to do something like that on purpose, no. What happened?

...I see. So everyone voted for him?

[She presumes as much, but...]

...Sorry?

[Did. Did something happen.]

[...

......

Again, with more bafflement:]

Sorry?

...For starters, who were the other suspects?

Exactly.

[She gives a soft sigh.]

Did he volunteer as executioner then?

[...Oh. It's met with a moment of silence from Kino as well.]

...I offered Mr. Matsuno when he was chosen, but he didn't take me up on it. But I'll make the same offer:

Do you want me to teach you how to make it quick?

[...Yeah.]

I need to eat. But I'll drop by again once I'm done. It's not the same type, but you can use my revolver for practice.

Will that work?

Yeah. Still... it's better if you have time for as much rest as you can get.

[Though she's not going to bet on Natalie having much of a restful night.

True to her word however, once she's had time to get food, she'll return with a soft knock on Natalie's door.]

It's me.

Let's go to the park for now.

No, I've got everything you'll need.

[And out they go! Kino already took the courtesy of setting up the plate, hanging it from the branches again.]

I'll just be teaching you how to shoot, unless you really want to know how to wield one for self-defense. But... that's something that should be left for tomorrow, if that's the case.
