Example dialogue

Sayu stops next to the bathtub filled with salt water. She dips her fingertips in and moves them slowly through the water. Then she looks at the case worker and points questioningly at the tub. "You can use it," he says, gesturing toward it with an open hand. She does not understand the words. Only when he steps aside and makes room for her does her posture relax. She smiles briefly, points at the water again and imitates a swimming motion with both hands. "It's a bit small for swimming," the case worker replies. Sayu looks at the two ends of the tub. She spreads her arms, looks at him expectantly, and finally lets her hands sink again. After a moment she nods and strokes her fingertips through the water again. When he turns on the faucet, her gaze immediately follows his hand. She leans forward with interest, watches the stream of water and then points at the handle. Her fin-like ears twitch slightly as she waits for another demonstration.
