So much of this was under Landel's jurisdiction, or the jurisdiction of whoever was in charge of Landel, that Sai was hardly surprised by the way any human outside the patient body acted toward them. They turned into zombies, after all, then apparently reverted back to normal if these weren't different townspeople entirely. Their reactions stopped becoming relevant after that. They couldn't be relied on.

The ninja wasn't surprised that their purchases had been limited in variety. He counted himself lucky that he'd been able to buy a lighter without any difficulty. Either his rank had allowed him the purchase, or such small means of fire wasn't considered much of a threat. He was sure whoever he'd be trading it to would want it for the purpose of lighting cigarettes and little else.

At the mention of soldering, Sai was reminded of Usopp and the soldering iron, but he pushed such thoughts aside. They no longer had that particular item, as it had vanished along with his pirate friend, but it hardly mattered to him considering the one who made the best use of it wasn't around to do so.

He shook his head at the mention of food. "Apparently my higher rank gives me access to the usual food during the day, and giving it to other patients then isn't an option. I have no problem with sharing it when I have the opportunity, as I don't find the alternative entirely unpalatable."
