Improvising, you remind Zu- your father that you, Sven and Hans all know he can't work the farm like he used to, and with last year's harvest being washed away from the flood, along with..."

You bow your head respectfully, hoping this is indicative of a tragedy, perhaps of a dead mother, since she appears to not be in the story at all.

"Now me getting up in the years is exactly the problem." Zul says, stubbornly.

You suggest again to let Hans give it a shot. Worst case, we'll all deal with our punishments as a familiy while we figure out a new plan. But if Hans just happens to make it then it'll all be worth it.

"Frankly, Hans is the one of you three I can't lose any work from! He could almost plow and work the fields all by himself with those muscles of his. No, I forbid-" Zul says, turning to chastise Kamiko. However she isn't there. Looking all around, you spot your daughter ushering Kamiko through the thick wooden doors to the stage.

"Hey!" Zul shouts, running towards the door. Luckily, Hilde starts barking and chasing her, playfully jumping around the alien and tripping her up. "Blast it, this is no time to play you mutt."

You stride past the LGM and through door as Tamako waves you hurriedly through. As you pass you see your dauther motion to the guard at the door.. She points to Zul and says, "That's him! He's trying to ruin my uncle's act!"

You nearly bump into Kamiko as the door slams shut behind you. She looks incredibly nervous, shouldering the crossbow and looking at the stage. You ask her if she's okay.

"I'm not sure what to do. How is a crossbow funny? I wish I was better at this sort of thing. I can't imagine I'm supposed to shoot her." Kamiko says, a bit panicked.
