Nobody's here, huh? Got it!
It's just a little bit of buildup and character interactions, after all. I do enjoy it though, from Riyo being afraid of roaches, through Guita loving them - she seems to love creatures as a whole tbh - and Nijik trying to crush Jabber. I only dislike Jabber explaining his ability, it's always dumb, but at least bearable, when has a meaning. I don't think it had any meaning now - explaining it to Nijik.
That's what I need narrators for. Of course, it's better to show, not tell, but if you gotta tell, have it be done by a narrator instead, so that it's not dumb.
