[Her smile slips away as she thinks back over the past few weeks. The last event was particularly challenging, and while she can't lie to him, she isn't sure if going into detail about people-eating shadows is the smartest thing to do.

It's hard to explain? One day everything is completely normal, but the next day your furniture is talking, or your floor disappears, or your shadow just... starts moving on its own. I know how crazy that sounds. [And depressing? Hmm. Ochako, the little sunbeam that she is, can't let that slide, and so she forces herself to smile once again.] It's okay, though! We're all here together, so we do our best to look out for each other. Everyone is super nice!
