While wandering around the street, I got picked up. No matter what I said, she seemed absent-minded, and I couldn't tell what she was thinking. When I asked, "What's wrong?" she replied, "I had an appointment with a friend, but I couldn't make it, so I thought I'd explore the town alone, but I got lost." Being alone in an unfamiliar town, and even getting lost, that must be unsettling. That's how she ended up being approached by a stranger in her moment of anxiety. But even though it was a pick-up, the fact that someone cared seemed to comfort her, and I could feel her expressions gradually softening. Providing a sense of security seemed to completely open her up, and the pick-up was a success!
