[Tetsuo, thankfully, isn't even considering resisting being maneuvered. He'll sit, sure. Whatever.]
Why her?
[Tetsuo, for his part, barely knows a thing about Sabriel. She showed up at Nonah 05 once in the middle of the night. He fought her, and then tangentially in the same battles she did, and she dealt with Pan in ways he didn't really like (ie, not agreeing Pan ought to face the same fate Tetsuo had). He's lucky he can put a face to the name, and that's only after having discussed her for a while beforehand.
...
She's not also a walking corpse, is she? Is that a common thing? Is that just something people get?]

[He gently moves Tetsuo to come sit down at the table.]
I won't say it's Hazel.

[He'll be brief about Sabriel's own past, too, what little he knows about it.]
She can bring people back too, but she doesn't.
action;
I don't care if she can do that!
[He's not really letting what Kaneda's saying sink in beyond the words themselves, then.]
She didn't do it, probably... and it already happened. There's nothing to stop anymore!
action;
[He rubs his neck, trying to put this in a way Tetsuo can understand.]
It means she knows the rules!! If anyone would know how these rules work, it's someone who can make it happen.
And maybe she'd know what to do.

But he's still not sold.]
Fine, I get it... So how you gonna ask her something like that without spilling?
action;
[That takes some thought, reaching over to break a piece off of one of those onigiri. Nothing too big, but he's starving.]
It's her job back home...and she just got back from a trip back there.
She sounded like she wanted to talk to me about it.
