After having found the sheets, blankets and pillows, to Jeanette's delight, she is surprised that food is brought to the Camper: salmon, rice, some sort of a green vegetable and hot tea. She washes her hands with a bar of castile soap and dries them with a hand towel, as do the others.
Jeanette feels a bit awkward given how they are being treated, simply because they are "summoned by the Spirits." "Thank you very much." Jeanette was about to say that they didn't have to do that but stopped as she considered the possibility that may be the wrong thing to say.
Food is set before Danielle. She takes a deep breath. "Thank you."
After the benevolent hosts had left, Danielle leads the group in prayer.
Jeanette pours herself some tea in a cup with no handle. "Danielle, do you want some tea?"
"Yes, thank you."
Jeanette pours the tea for Danielle. Still holding the hot tea, she asks Chihiro and Hikaru.
"Yes, please." Chihiro answers.
After pouring, Jeanette sits the tea down. She takes a bite of the fresh salmon. "This is good."
The Japanese cat also likes the fish.
"Still hungry," Jeanette begins, "even after your snack?"
As the ladies are eating, Jeanette looks about. Hikaru brought a suitcase and while Jeanette has undergarments in her custom kit thanks to Fernando's suggestion, she does not have extra clothes. The clothes she packed are still at home . . . at least they were fifty-six years ago. Chihiro just has her bike and Danielle her gun cleaning kit.
Jeanette has so many questions but where does she begin? "Hikaru, about the job you mentioned, I'll be working in an orphanage?"
