People’s emotions were frayed and arguments were breaking out. They didn’t have time for this—they needed to get everyone up on top of the turtle. Yatsuhashi walked around helping Slate restore order.

Of course, they had slightly different approaches. Slate gently insinuated herself between people and talked them down to defuse the situation and get them thinking clearly again. Yatsuhashi got a little more physical.

“Stop that,” he said to two men at the start of a pushing contest. He put his hands between them and knocked them apart from each other.

“Hey!” one of the men shouted. “Who asked you?”

Yatsuhashi didn’t mind diverting their anger away from each other toward himself. Once he had their attention, he pointed them—or picked them up and faced them—in the direction of Coco, who was near the base of the turtle, directing nomads up the dangling ropes.

“Get up there, quick,” Yatsuhashi said. “If you don’t want to die.”
