Beepsumu looked a bit confused, but then she nodded. “Well, if you’re
certain… I don’t know what I’d do if something ended up breaking on our
account… And I still need to have a talk with Bonk when she gets here…
Anyway, we’ll get out of your way now. Come on, Bowyetta, let’s go make
lunch for everyone. I’ll even let you cut the bread.”

However,
Bowyetta seemed more curious about this process than Beepsumu did. She
sat down and kept her eyes on the Repairman, giving another one of her
smiles, while still making sure to keep her distance.

“Thank you,” the Repairman said, donning the mask.

Gosh, it was hard to see in this thing. All he could make out were the silhouettes of everything, with a deep blue behind it all. It didn’t help that the visor was pretty scratched.

Still, he could see the cracks in the Wall, and that’s what mattered.

There weren’t that many, and they weren’t that big. Still, the Repairman thought he should stick around a little after, just to make sure.

He moved over to the closest crack and turned on the blowtorch. Keeping the metal sheet on the crack, he began welding.

There. That was one down.

He turned off the torch and was about to move to the next break when he saw Bowyetta’s silhouette. Even in shadow, her smile was obvious.

“Uh, can I help you?” he asked, lifting his mask up with a confused expression.
