[ it doesn't take much effort before xie lian is able to reshape the trash can lid back into a lid shape. it's a little crumply looking, like a piece of aluminum foil, but it's definitely still usable.

...ah, but, wait! ] Oh--? You are? Are you okay? [ turning around with his hands still on the lid, xie lian ducks down a little, as if to get a look at her expression!! did he make her sadder?! ] Is there something I can do to help?

[ ... ] Unless that's your name, or something. It isn't, is it?
