Okay.  She's going to go see if Haru wants help instead.

He is managing with some clambering about to get the sheet on his mom's bed, though judging by the thumping noises that preceded her entry he might have simply shoved the boxes that were on said bed to the floor.

She can help, as much as someone who has never actually put on a bedsheet before can.  (Which is a fair bit, as long as Haru's already identified the long side.)

He has identified the long side (or more specifically he has identified one of the short sides because Ren tie dyed it in such a way that one of those is much pinker than any other part of the sheet). They can get all the corners on and then he spreads out the matching ("matching") tie-dyed top sheet and gets the pillowcase onto a pillow. "There," he says.

"Would you please help me get the boxes on yours out of the way?"

"...sure," he says, and he goes back into his room and shoves the boxes in question onto the floor unceremoniously.

Strange.  Hopefully he then either helps her get the sheet on or leaves so he won't see her struggle with it?

Yeah he can help as long as he's there. There are again a matching topsheet and pillowcase. "Since it's the middle of summer you probably won't want much more of a blanket."

But then how will she feel safe with only that much on top of her.  "Okay."

He pries open the box of books. "These are my books, the ones I have in hard copy anyway. You can read them."

"Thank you very much."  What's here?

Dr. Dolittle, some Oz books, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, Alice in Wonderland, A Little Princess, The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, A Christmas Carol, Ender's Game, The Complete Robot, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, and the first Harry Potter book but that's in Japanese.

"Which is your favorite?"

"I don't have a single favorite. But these ones are series so if you read them start at the beginning."

"Thank you.  ...Do you think if I stay up most of the night reading, your mother might see my light on and be as alarmed to see me in your room as if I were in her bed?"

He considers this. "I think I should put a note for her on the door... which means," he sighs, "I will have to find tape."

"What if you put it on the ground, instead?"

"She won't see it."

"Okay."

He resumes the process of looking at various box labels. Eventually he opens one and finds tape in it and writes a note on a page of his notebook, tears it out, and tapes it to the outside of his door. He writes the note in English, in spite of Ren's apparent preference for everything being in Japanese even when this is inconvenient, but then he seems all set to buckle down and study his Japanese flashcards and his copy of Japanese Harry Potter.

Kennedy settles in with A Little Princess and only bothers him for the next few hours to ask after the location of the bathroom.

Fortunately it has toilet paper in it.

That is indeed fortunate.

After another few hours she goes back for another try of the chicken.  It's worse cold but she's pretty hungry and she doesn't really want to have more interactions here beyond the necessary.

Haru has by then put himself to bed but the karaage is in the fridge waiting for her!

She remembers there being more of them, so even though she's not sure Haru didn't eat the rest, she does eventually check the fridge and tucks in on another two.

Her outfit is going to be so rumpled tomorrow if she sleeps in it, and she doesn't have any clothes to change into...

After really a lot of reading, she attempts to bed down for a while.  She doesn't really feel tired but she does feel tired of this.
