[Japan is outside, sitting at one of the cosplay cafe tables, pounding away on his laptop. He's not exactly dead to the world because he doesn't really want anyone peeking over his shoulder. In the event someone does, he's typed it all up in Japanese so a glance would only reveal so much

[Wanders on by!]

"Ah, hello, nii-san."

[fuelefficient]

Greetings, Taiwan-san.

[pinkplumblossom]

[Sighs a little.]

"...How have you been doing?"

[fuelefficient]

Fine, I suppose. How about yourself?

[pinkplumblossom]

[Assuming this takes place today~]

"...I woke up to a droned Netherlands today. So... not that well."

[fuelefficient]

...I see. If he becomes a problem, feel free to stay over here. I'm sure you can share a bed with Hinomoto-san.

[pinkplumblossom]

[Smiles gratefully but sadly, shaking her head.]

"Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I can... I have Saki and Mindy to think of. I need to keep them both safe.

...Especially if he doesn't come back."

[fuelefficient]

All of you are welcome at my house. I have two drone children so there is room.

[pinkplumblossom]

[Nods slowly.]

"...Thanks so much, nii-san. I'll let them know. I'm sorry I'm always dumping my problems on you and imposing like this."

[fuelefficient]

[looks up from his computer]

How are you imposing? I offered myself, did I not?

[pinkplumblossom]

"No, I didn't mean it like that... I'm always grateful for your hospitality. I just..."

[Shakes her head.]

"No, it's not important."

[fuelefficient]

It is alright to continue. You are my important sister, after all.

[pinkplumblossom]

[Sighs again.]

"I wonder if maybe I rely on you a little too much sometimes. But I know that's stupid. This is what family is for, right? If we can't count on each other..."

[Manages a small smile.]

[fuelefficient]

There will be a time when I need to rely on you so there is no need to worry about it.

[pinkplumblossom]

"When that day comes, if I can even be half as helpful to you as you were to me, I'll call it a success."

[Despite the somewhat depressing sentiment of the sentence, her tone is at least cheerful.]

[fuelefficient]

Having you around right now is enough for me, to be honest but I doubt it will satisfy you.
