Angela?

[Teru's home, finally. It's been a long day. A's expecting him to be back late, of course, but he knows she'll still be worried.

At least he almost has good news.]

[No one ever cleans around here ( Read more... )

[Days spent together are a lot more pleasant now Teru doesn't have to force himself to appear happy about them. He's wandering the halls with Angela and a picnic basket, as they do every week. Or as close to every week as possible given the Mansion's sense of time.]

Where today, then? The beach again?

[For the past week, Teru has managed not to let A find out that he's been leaving in the early mornings, or where he's been going.

When she gets back, she'll find him vacuuming the carpet. Just because.]

When Angela comes, she'll find him sitting on the staircase near his room, staring into space

[Mikami enters the karaoke room with A, looking slightly apprehensive, but determined. There doesn't seem to be anyone else around, and once again he finds himself drawn to the stage.]
