Follow-up Statement is an utterance which is stated in connection with the previous utterance in order to continue or add something to the previous utterance. Generally speaking, it can build up on the previous discussion, add a complementary point, express a personal comment or impression, or mention an example relevant to the topic.

Example:
 -Explainer:	['Another origami challenge', 'that comes up with these patterns', "is if we're going to make an aircraft out of this thing", "we're going to need hundreds of yards of folded origami.", "We're not going to do it by hand", 'and this might be the new frontier in origami engineering,', 'which is the design of machines', 'that can fold patterns that have applications.']
 -Explainee:[So you're talking about a machine", 'that is actually folding it into this, 'not just making the creases but actually folding it.] ---> Follow-up Statement
 -Explainer:['Yeah, so what goes in as sheet', 'and what comes out is this, or something this wide.']
 -Explainee:["That's cool, yeah.", 'What do you see as kind of like the next big breakthrough?', 'Is there anything out there on the horizon', "that you're just like, oh wow, this is really exciting?"]
