[ That seems to be the best way to explain this to her, at least for now. His head is still spinning a bit. How long will she be like this? Surely it's not going to last that long. Hopefully. Because he's never been responsible for another person and doesn't think he should be, either. ]
What do you like to do, Reimi-chan. Color? Play games?
[ Eat Rocks? Bugs? He doesn't know. He doesn't even really remember being this age. ]
[That's something that includes both coloring and playing games! Assuming the existence of sidewalk chalk, of course.]

Chalk. And clothes. You need clothes.
[ And food? What do kids like? What do kids need? He has no idea. Not a damn clue. But, he's just going to carry her wherever he goes because that's all he can think to do. ]
