[There are so many things in this town Yona has never seen before.
Turnstiles are one of them! When she comes across them at the railroad station, she frowns, thinking they're some kind of barrier, and puts her hand on one to brace herself to climb over - only for the pressure to be enough to push the turnstile forward. If she were walking, she would have been able to pass though.
She pauses, then... does exactly that, staring at the device as it turns to allow her entry. Huh! Interesting. A moment later, she turns around and tries to push it the other way, but... nope, that isn't how that works.]
...did I break it?
[...no, she didn't, because she's able to turn it the way she came... weird...]

...how do they make it do that?
[What an interesting invention...]

But it just let us go right through... I wonder why it's here.
[There wasn't any fee for them to pay... weird.]

Huh... I wonder why I've never heard of one before. That sounds like something useful.
[Yona's goal: bring trains to Kouka.]

How much would it cost for you to teach me how to make one?
Oh? There's someone here who knows how to do that?
It's fine if it takes a while to learn. It's just annoying to have to wait to even start learning.

closes mouth. yeah, that's true.]

...it doesn't feel like there's a good answer to this question.
Right! Because obviously, it's good to be virtuous, but sometimes being too patient means you let things pass you by, and that's not good.
