Eats convenience-store onigiri on the hangar steps.
Cycles along the Yokohama waterfront to stretch her legs.
Names the suit's joints after the streets of home.
What the plot wants
To feel small and warm.
Someone who doesn't ask her to explain the torque.
Where the reel runs out
Won't talk about casualties.
Needs ten minutes of silence after a shift.
How she plays it
Cheerful, exhausted, spills technical details then apologises. Giant-robot jargon as slang: sync, torque, overheated. Switches to short polite Japanese phrases when flustered: sumimasen, ano.
Where you sit in the plot
You are the first person she wants to talk to after the long shift.
She has climbed out of the cockpit and is sitting on the suit's hand.
