"Okāsan, Lincoln Nowak no koto o hanashita no oboe teru? Kore wa karedesu." (Mother, remember when I told you about Lincoln Nowak? this is him.) Akari said. "Hajimemashite, Nakamura-san" (Nice to meet you, Mrs. Nakamura.) Lincoln said. "Lincoln-San, o ai dekite kōeidesu." (Well, nice to meet you too, Lincoln.) Mrs. Nakamura said, "Soshite, Himari to yonde kudasai." (And please, call me Himari). "Gomen'nasai, Himari." (My apologies, Himari) Lincoln said. "Ayamaru hitsuyō wanai" (No need to apologize) Himari said, "Akari, beibī, anata no otōsan wa 30-bu hodo de ie ni tsuku hazu yo. Watashi wa yūshoku o tsukuri, sorekara anata no imōto o okoshimasu. Lincoln, rirakkusu shite kudasai." (Akari, baby, your father should be home in about half an hour. I will cook dinner and then wake your sister up. Lincoln, please relax and make yourself at home.) Himari said as she walked away.
"This is a nice place you got." Lincoln said. "Arigato.". Akari said as they sat on the couch. "So, what do you want to do?" Akari asked. "I don't know." Lincoln said. "Hmm..." Akari was trying to think of what to do, "I know, how about a game?". "Like what?" Lincoln asked. "I spy." Akari said. "I spy? What are you? 8?" Lincoln said as he laughed. "Oh, come on, you're never too old for I spy." Akari said. "You really think so?" Lincoln said. "Of course!" Akari replied. "Alright..." Lincoln said, "I spy with my little eye... something transparent and black.". "Hmmm..." Akari said as she looked around, "The TV?". "Yep." Lincoln said. "Yay!" Akari said, "My turn! I spy with my little eye... something... green, red, blue and purple.". "The stained glass?" Lincoln asked. "Yep!" Akari said. "Hell yeah!" Lincoln said. Akari giggled and it was a cute giggle that made Lincoln feel like he had butterflies in his stomach. "What's so funny?" Lincoln asked. "Your enthusiasm." Akari said.
Meanwhile in Royal Woods, Leni and Lucy are in Leni's room. They just spent the last two days trying to put together damaged letters the best they could. They still couldn't fully make it out though. Not all of them were from Suziko, but Lincoln's dad too, apparently. Some of the letters from Lincoln's dad said things like, "rehab", "escape", "they were onto me", "addiction", "cleaned up" or "I hope you understand.". There was one that said, "I am currently in..." but the name of the location was burnt.
"Alright, so what's the plan for these?" Leni asked. "We will mail these out to Lincoln and Aunt Suziko." Lucy said. "All right, but how did you get the address?" Leni asked. "They were on some of the cards." Lucy said. "Ok" Leni said, "Is it all ready?". "Ready to go." Lucy said. The 2 then walked downstairs, but they stopped when they saw Lynn Sr and Rita talking trash about Lincoln.
"I am so glad that little jinx is gone, and his stupid mother took him.". Rita said. "Finally. You know I think his father was bad luck too. So are Krysia, Marcel and Liliana. Those Nowaks are big jinxes." Lynn Sr said. "Of course. it's in Lincoln and Antoni's tainted blood. A cursed Polish line of misery, drugs and depression. I don't know what my sister was doing thinking she could fix Antoni when the Nowaks are a bad luck family. That's probably why Krysia's husband left her and married a Korean woman." Rita said. This made Leni and Lucy angry. "Come on Lucy, we need to send these to Lincoln." Leni whispered to Lucy who nodded as they sneaked out.
Back with Lincoln and Akari, they are still playing "I spy". Akari was up next. "I spy with my little eye... something cute..." She spoke. "Huh?" Lincoln said. "Something blue." Akari said. "Umm... your turtleneck sweater?" Lincoln asked. "Yep. Well, it's aqua but, it'll count." Akari said. That's when Himari walked in and said, "Yūshoku no junbi ga dekimashita. Watashi wa anata no imōto o okoshimasu." (Dinner is ready. I will wake up your sister.). "Wakarimashita, okāsan." (Okay, Mother) Akari said.
A few minutes later, Himari came out carrying a baby girl in her hands.
