SEMI EITA
"welcome home!-"

SEMI EITA
"oh? what's with
the long face?"

"my co-worker."

kenjirou replied and immediately headed to the kitchen to get himself a glass of water.

kenjirou then went to the living room where eita was, and sat on the opposite couch.

"where's atsuko?"

SEMI EITA
"she's sleeping.
she wanted to
greet you when
you come home,
but she immediately
fell asleep the moment
i put her to bed."

"she sleeps
during noon?"

SEMI EITA
"of course! don't
all kids do that?"

"i don't know.
i've never had
a kid."

kenjirou heard eita mutter a small 'pfft', but decided to shrug it off. he was too tired to go along eita's remarks, so he just closed his eyes and leaned back on the couch.

SEMI EITA
"so how'd it go
back there? what
about your co-worker?"

kenjirou sighed dramatically, making eita laugh.

"they're okay, i
guess? the first one
was obviously older
than me and he looked
calm, so it's all good."

"... but there's just
this one kid who's
too enthusiastic —
it's like double the
enthusiasm that
lev has."

"after alisa told me
about my working
schedule and shit,
he pulled me all of
a sudden and showed
me around the shop
like a little kid!"

"i felt like a mom
listening to a kid
talk about a toy
they always wanted."

eita only laughed as he listened to kenjirou rant about this 'kid'. kenjirou's facial expressions never failed to make eita laugh.

SEMI EITA
"seriously? a kid?
how old is he?"

"a year younger
than me."

SEMI EITA
"i- A KID????"

"don't shout, geez."

SEMI EITA
"you're so dramatic!
i legit thought you
meant like a kid kid!"

kenjirou rolled his eyes as he remembered the bowl-cut boy.
