☔ 2nd Rainy day | [Video]

Um... My big bro is acting really weird.

He flew off the back porch on a lightning bolt.

[Seeing him jump off was actually kind of terrifying, but he seems to be fine, as evidenced by the view from Nanako's COMP as she stands on the apartment's balcony. In the distance, someone with grey hair and this outfit can be seen, soaring towards the ground on a bright flash of light. A group of Pyro Jacks is on the street below, waiting for him.]

People acted weird when the monsters attacked too, right? Are there gonna be more monsters?

[In her view, being left alone sometimes is normal. Yu has work and friends of his own, after all; she can't monopolize all his time. It's the same with her Dad... he had important things to do.

Of course, she doesn't usually get left because Yu decided to fly around on lighting while shouting about green Christmases.]

My dad's a police detective, so he's busy a lot. I have to look after things while he's away at work. [...] Oh... but Dad's not in the city, though.

[He frowns.

Well, that puts some of the puzzle together. Always seemed pretty calm for a kid her age.

Guess if she was alone a lot of the time, you'd grow up used to it and learn how to take care of yourself. He doesn't miss the implications that her mother is gone. Dead, maybe. Or just plain left. Or is around even less. There are a lot of reasons for that. So her dad probably doesn't have a whole lot of choice, and he's not sure where her brother fits in to the mess, but—

Well, guess that's how life is. You can still have parents and not get to see them much. And you still have to grow up having to take care of yourself.

Life can be pretty damn stupid.]

Guess that makes you the lady of the house, huh?

[He pauses, tilting his head in thought.]

You got any yogurt in your fridge?

[The title makes her giggle, so whatever assumptions he's made seem to be good ones, at least.] Yeah!

[she tilts her head at the question.] I think so...

You like it?

[greaterdays]

Yeah... It's good for a balanced diet.

[this sounds a lot like she's reciting from something else.]

[themortalhalf]

[He doesn't care. This girl has more common food sense than 95% of the morons he comes in contact with. He doesn't care if she reciting it from a book or a television show.]

It's good for more than that.

Wanna learn how to make somethin'?

[Video]

[greaterdays]

You'll teach me how?

[he has her complete attention.]

Re: [Video]

[themortalhalf]

Yeah.

[He's pretty sure not even Fuuka could mess something like this up.]

Think you can follow instructions?

[really now...]

I'll do my best!
