[The PCD appears to be set on a kitchen counter because it's filming Rain and Usagi collected somewhere around the stove, both of them wearing aprons and Rain standing on a stool in order to see better over the counter, stirring something in a pan.  He tilts his head to look at Usagi questioningly, who nods and smiles and says something to him that ( Read more... )
