You can approach other characters in the game and initiate conversation
when the Conversation icon appears in the Icon Selector. You can only
continue conversations while the Conversation icon is rotating.

Ryo is not the only character who can initiate conversations in Shenmue
II. Sometimes other characters may approach Ryo and start talking. Ryo
can respond to another character's questions, but the correct answer
depends on Ryo's needs in that situation. So, be careful!
