PANEL ONE:
Rei is tying new rope to cordon off the path up to the Lin family compound. Min stands behind her.

Rei: As for your style, I can't really help. Not yet anyway.

Min: S'fine. Don't worry about it. This is just Xiu Mei pushing her "punishment" off on me.

PANEL TWO:
Rei, looking concerned by Min's wording, continues to focus her attention on her work while Min glares off to the side.

Rei: So you aren't mad about getting stuck with this?

Min: Eh, whatever. I haven't really thought about it.

Rei: You didn't really seem surprised.

PANEL THREE:
Min leans further into the rope while Rei continues working off-panel.

Min: I'm not. That's just how she is. If there's something she doesn't want to do, she passes it to me. And if she can't she'll just take it out on me instead.

Rei: So that's where those bruises came from?

PANEL FOUR:
Rei gives Min a look of frustrated concern as Min turns and hides her face, embarrassed.

Min: No, she just does that sometimes because I can't stop her. I'm nowhere near her level yet... sorry, but you're the one who got "stuck" with something. Ugh, just forget it.

Touch of Self-Deprecation

Rei's not used to this kind of attitude.
