There are several reasons why Rika might want to go to a bookseller but she doesn’t want to go with that crowd so I think she will follow Canary probably

It’s been ~15 minutes since Amelia posted. @Squirrel2412, I guess we will do the talking then?
–well, having that said, I -the player- am not good with interrogations (despite knowing how to recognize one), so could you do the talking?

With the recent rain, surely the party won’t come across a drowning child in a pond…

I don’t know how that 2020 article got relevant, but thank you for the context.
the thought experiment makes quite a big logical jump from “if you would save a child from drowning, you should donate to charity”

people find that humourous and thus reference it
No, I get that. (Well, actually I didn’t, and I had to look back–) But the point is: How the heck is this (apparently memetic article) still relevant in 2026?
I get that it can happen, but I’m still astounded, considering I have never seen this article before.

ok I know the Arete Drowning Child jokes are funny but in this case the origin of that specific text was that I looked up some real books from around the right time period and one of them was an extended essay on animal welfare

this is an oversimplification, the specific comparison is one in which you’re saving the child at the cost of ruining an expensive suit you own, such that it’s then arguing you should be willing to donate money costing the equivalent amount to the cost of the suit in order to save a life. If saving the drowning child were free, it wouldn’t be evidence of anything w.r.t. whether you should accept the cost of having less money in exchange for the benefit of saving people’s lives

For some reason I feel like it’s difficult for me to mistake Rika’s name. (Because one is a Japanese-sounding name, and the other is a vegetable in Dutch.)
