[Taro is in the central park in Capricorn which is pretty obvious from his surroundings. He's grinning and waving a tiny American flag.]

So for those of you who don't know because you're from other countries or worlds where my country doesn't exist, the fourth of July is Independence Day in America. I'm not usually one for nationalism - hell, I immigrated to America from Japan - but I still like the traditions. And it's an excuse for good food.

I've got some burgers to cook and some potato chips -

[He holds the chips up to the camera since he knows other places call them different things.]

- and some soda. I also found some fireworks to set off later in the night. ... And yeah I found a fire extinguisher in case something goes wrong.

Anyone who wants to show up can, I've got plenty of everything.

I'll see you soon!

[He shuts off the video, going back to working on his food.]

[ The video shows Takakage still in the hospital, though he has changed out into his usual clothing and there are no tubes still plugged into him somewhere. The IV line is still on his left hand. ]

You won't need a fire extinguisher, since I'm coming.

[ He chuckles a little, partially to himself. ]

I'd still rather have a backup plan.

[No overexerting yourself, Takakage. :| ]

Very wise of you.

[ His smile is a little more relaxed than usual. ]

I'll be discharged at around two, so I will hopefully be there in the afternoon.

I have my moments.

And good. Don't strain yourself, all right?

[thirdarrow]

Alright. I'll see you hence, then.

Got everything together, huh? I'll drop by once I finish up my shift! Anything else you need?

[Video]

[hachitaro]

Yeah, I did. And I think I've got everything, unless you can think of food that we're missing?

Are donuts an American thing? Or some other kinda dessert would work, too.

[Video]

[hachitaro]

... They can be, sure. Sounds good to me.

More sugar can never hurt, right?
