The possibility of having a doctor available to consult is a boon to any Numbered, and Benjiro especially recognizes the value after he had to interfere with the nursing kit belonging to Sadie's mother to protect her secret the day they were out sailing. Not to mention having to decline a physical examination after what happened to him in September at school.

With one apple already collected, the task is put on hold when he hears Sadie ask if the doctor is alright. The mention of the Echo is not shocking, given that he had seen that post on the network, even if the timing is unexpected. They usually are out of the blue.

Benjiro watches the way Mrs. Tilly still looks after she answers from habit more than recovery, and he moves to step up next to her with the apple set down to retrieve again later. Reaching to place one hand on the woman's shoulder, he holds the other out in front of her at the ready, "Mrs. Tilly? The door is behind you."
