With Tachibana suddenly gone, Sayoko's sense of adventurousness was dialed back considerably. What little bit of exploring Cahypdo to haul back driftwood for furniture and fruits and vegetables to work into meals had just... stopped. She didn't want to go adventuring alone, given some of the bizarre things that lurked out there, and she didn't want to go too far in case he suddenly turned back up again.
