[ The screen flickers and flashes, steadying as a video of a kitchen appears. Two cakes - one strawberry, one chocolate - are laid out on the kitchen table, as two young girls hover over the kitchen counter (on step stools!), busily working on another frosted delicacy. One of the girls is none other than Sakura, dressed in a puffy blue dress and

[He watches this quietly before engaging immediate brotherly distractionary tactics.]

I totally get one of those cakes, right?

[ At least you ask!!! Touya just takes. ]

Of course you do, Bowen-san!

[The smiling is much better, he approves.]

Awesome. I bet they're great. My little sister likes to do a lot of baking too.

They won't be good as my dad's, but I hope they'll be all right!

What's her name?

[sideromelane]

Eh, practice makes perfect.

[He smiles at her encouragingly.]

Her name's Mahalia. She's about fifteen.

[releaseheart]

Mahalia-chan. That's a pretty name.

[ She smiles back, meanwhile, the other girl has quickly hidden herself from the camera's lens. ]

You have a big family, don't you?

[sideromelane]

Yeah, she's real cute, got hair down to her waist, I swear.

[Bowen tilts his head, eyes following the girl, wondering if he's freaking out the little Mirror chick.]

And yeah, our family is pretty big. There's twelve of us siblings. What about you and your, uh, friend?

[releaseheart]

Like Tomoyo-chan.

[ Twelve?! ]

Hoeeee, are you the oldest, Bowen-san? [ sdhfljas ] She's... she's a friend from school. We're not related - not at all!

[Snort.]

Nope, not even close. I'm the youngest brother. Mahalia's the only one younger than me and Asha.

It must be... interesting at home, having all those siblings! It's just me and my brother and we argue all the time.

[sideromelane]

Nah, we don't all live together.

[Which is a source of great distress for Bowen, but he won't be telling Sakura anything about that.]

We all have different mothers, and we're spread all over the place. It's just me and Asha, and we fight all the time, it's what siblings do.

[releaseheart]

Hoeee...

[ Different mothers... all over the places? ]

Asha-san is in the city, isn't she? [ She smiles. ] I'm glad you have each other!

[sideromelane]

[Yep, Sakura, his dad was a prostitute, isn't that exciting.]

We're twins, couldn't get us apart if you wanted to.

[ I doubt Sakura even knows what a prostitute is... ]

I bet you don't tease her like my big brother does to me!

[sideromelane]

No? What's he do to you?

[releaseheart]

He calls me a monster all the time!
