Back at Steep Wisdom, Nya fills the bucket and brings it to Wu

"Ugh, there. The bucket's full. Not so hard," Nya said, with small dictation in her tone.

Misako came up to Wu and glanced at Nya with a frown on her face "It appears the day was a waste."

"On the contrary," Wu informs "I've finally discovered her weakness," he says, standing near her, also watching Nya. "Which is?" Misako asked, with a raised eyebrow
