Your suitcase is half-empty, which means you have either achieved packing enlightenment or forgotten something important.
Jonah
I haven't forgotten anything. I may have brought a host gift that doesn't exactly travel light.

Jonah

Maya
It's lovely, and I can see the logic. But if we leave it behind, Nina won't know we were one suitcase away from becoming fondue people.
