It is too sad . I must speak to him
- The do you really ?
- Sure . How can you expect things to get better , if we do not speak?
- Earlier , you talked to Mr. Omochi . Do you feel that things have thus been arranged?

Luz's manner of speaking made it clear that she had no idea what she might say next. It wasn't that she made things up, strictly speaking--only that facts were merely a point of departure for her.
