[Looking a bit surprised]

...Tetsunosuke-kun?

[akai_banken]

[looks like he had just seen a ghost, because well, he kinda did.]

... Susumu, this is not amusing....

[ayu_nee]

[She shakes her head a little. She's gotten used to that reaction, at least.]

It's me, Tetsunosuke-kun.

[akai_banken]

...Ayu-nee... Am I dreaming?

[ayu_nee]

I don't think so. Just a little lost.

You've gotten so big!

[akai_banken]

[HUGS! may be crying like a baby anyway.]

Ayu-neee!!!!!

[ayu_nee]

[Holds and strokes his hair a little]

Such a production! It's all right.

[akai_banken]

I'm sorry, Ayu-nee! I'm sorry... I didn't finish that meal you made for me... [sobs, sniffles]

[ayu_nee]

Don't apologize for that! What's important is that you've managed to carry on, hmm? Have you been looking out for that brother of mine?

[akai_banken]

Yeah. Oh! He's training to be a doctor now!

[ayu_nee]

Is he? I think that will suit him well.

[akai_banken]

Yeah... but we missed you so much.
