So, Yin isn't the best for convincing anyone to fight, but if her passive nature could incite Lauri-Ell to protect her and therefore start bashing the little mechanical creatures, there is that. Yin can sense danger and run, but she's a non-combatant and used to her team being there to protect her. OR they can do something else with baubles or the fundraiser. Yin will have questions, then likely offer to help. idk. Options.

OR we could do the secret bit with Tommy, and she can tell him her horrible secret about her mom.

I am up to plan, either way.
