Min-ju had developed opinions about fish.
This became apparent within approximately ninety seconds of his arrival at Woonhee's apartment, which was where Min-ju now spent her weekday afternoons while Woonhee worked from home. Min-ju produced a worn picture book from somewhere near the couch and brought it directly to him and opened it to a page depicting a deep-sea anglerfish with an expression that made clear she had thought extensively about the anglerfish and had conclusions to share.
The conclusions were delivered in the combination of recognizable words and confident vocalization that constituted her current communication style. He gathered that the anglerfish was interesting, that its light was relevant, and that the regular fish on the adjacent page were less interesting than the anglerfish by a margin she felt strongly about.
