Ahh...uh...

[Miki is trying to keep a straight face but this is harder than she thought.]

...umm I think that Minami is gone. W-well no. Not 'I think'. I know she's gone since her room is occupied by someone else, so I guess she returned to our world...

[Her best friend is gone but she...she doesn't think she could leave herself just yet. Not with what she's gained here.]

I kinda need to clear my mind a bit...

Anyone want to do something?

[DEAD SILENCE for a second. If you wanted a reaction out of her, you got it.]

Why would I want to see that--I mean I said pictures didn't have to be embarrassing--uh wait, aren't those a little too precious considering?

[She's fumbling her words. Okay. Stay Calm Miki. Now you're just making it worse.]

What I mean is...it's fine.

[Pause.]

It's fine, you don't have to show them to me.

[Oh Miki. Of course that's what she wanted.]

If you're sure, then!

I'm perfectly sure.

[You're doing this on purpose aren't you.]

We should share our pictures tomorrow, then.

[maybe.]

It's a deal.

[Arisatos are all the same. If it's not winning at card games, it's coming over for ice cream or showing you baby pictures.]

[is today now, Miki, you can't escape it.

Although it's not like she brought the baby pictures for her!

...Although they may be scanned onto her laptop and hanging around the same area as her other scanned photos, so who knows... (Her hard copy photo album was a bit too precious to carry around randomly.)]

[ :|

He never gave his consent for his photographs to be shared! ]

[He gave consent by being born and then being photographed. :)]

[ That's not consent! That's being taken advantage of. :P ]

[It's the price of having a sister.]

[ I guess he does pay for it constantly in pain and suffering. ]

[As it should be.]

[ But this isn't fair. What does she have to pay? ]

[She has to give up her time and energy to troll him properly, of course.]

[ Lies. She doesn't have to troll him. ]

[Oh boy morning! Let's not talk about what might have happened yesterday ~~since I'm not sure myself yet.~~

I hope you like the small of cinnamon and apples in the air, because surprise, surprise, Miki has one cooking in the oven right now. The small kitchen table has the large, overstuffed photobook resting on top by itself like a holy grail of photography.

Miki wasn't kidding when she said she took a lot of photos.]

Good afternoon Minako-senpai!

[As far as she's concerned, this is the Holy Grail. But she's trying not to look too eager to pry into Shinjiro's childhood photographs.]

Afternoon! Wow, that smells delicious...

Thank you!

[~~She used this to win over your brother.~~]

It still has about twenty minutes before it's done, so there's plenty of time to look, if you'd like to.

[Let loose the dogs of war.]

[The apples?]

Okay, then! Mine are on the computer. [She sets down her laptop so Miki can take a look at that if she wants and reaches for the book of photos.]

[~~No no PIE.~~ Well appl pie, I suppose and--nevermind.]

I should do that one day...[What is scanning.] Actually how about if we take turns? I can tell you about the photographs as you go through them.

[They can also skip the "Miki is enchanted by toy stores and takes pictures of all the store windows since she can't buy anything" phase.]

I usually use a digital camera or my cell phone... [It makes it a lot easier when she's moving around. The scanned ones she did to back them up just in case something ever happened... They're too important to risk losing.]

But that sounds good to me!

I use...[Hold on, she'll bring it from her room since she forgot to bring that out.] This!

[It's old, and ugly and so very early 1990's, but this was one of Miki's first presents so she hung out to it since then.]

Wow, a Polaroid! [Minako doesn't think she's ever used one of those before...] That would save you time on developing.

It did! Sadly, it got harder and harder to find the film.

[Now then, Minako, are you read for this adventure in photography.

And on the first page, there is but a single image, delicately covered in a thin plastic film. It is the only photography she has of her, Shinjiro and Akihiko as kids. This image was not taking with her camera since she got that after being adopted, the photo is slightly blurry. There's a yellow burn mark on the far right of it, she had it on her when the fire started.

But despite the fact it's near impossible to actually see what it is, it's the most precious one she has in book.]

[Minako's gaze lingers on it for a moment, noting the burn. Only one photo... Briefly, she wonders if Akihiko has this one too... or if the mark meant it was probably gone.

...She decides to focus on the image itself instead, and an obvious question comes to mind.]

He's really had that hat for this long?

[ALWAYS]

[LIKE THE PADS OR LIKE SNAPE?]

[LIKE 'GOOD LUCK GETTING MIKI TO LOOK YOU IN THE EYE AGAIN']

[LIKE WOW HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS WON'T ENDEAR HIM SO MUCH TO HER THEY START DATING?]

[THOSE AREN'T MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE]

[YES THEY ARE. HE DOES NOT DATE PEOPLE HE CAN'T LOOK IN THE EYE]

[even if there are better places to look??]

[Choosing to look at better places isn't the same thing.]
