Mochi is one of the two characters in this scene. They are a 3-tailed fox and the main character though they have slightly less lines than Odyssey in this scene.
To set the scene, Mochi has just gotten off work for the last day but when casually being asked about the draft by an official Mochi panicked and lied about being a 'wish granter' a job exclusive to a very rare type of kitsune which Mochi is not. Mochi is telling Odyssey (their best friend) all of this after having just gotten back from his usually soothing job, though is comforted to find that the small village away from the war that they are moving to may help cover up.
