Uwah, that sure was a scary mission compared to the last few, wasn't it?! I hope everyone made it out fine... aaaaaah, it truly was a frightening experience... I wonder what the Initiative'll have us do now...

But it's best to break down big problems into smaller ones, right? That said, that said, I have a small problem that needs solving. In the midst of all these wizards and aliens and warriors, there must be a decent tailor around here! I'm humbly asking for your help, wherever and whoever you might be (˘ʃƪ˘) My friend and I have some clothes in bad shape that need fixing.

How have you all been?? Ahh, it's a relief to be home, isn't it? Right, right, if any of you want a new hoodie, now's the time to speak up~ I'll handle the deal for you, payment and all.

But... But you said... [Nearly at a loss, she stands, balling her hands into fists.] Then why'd you say that?!

[duplicitoussight]

It was a warning, so you'd know what to look out for! I thought that was obvious! Don't tell me Kisaragi misunderstood me?

[eyecaptivating]

But I thought you meant... [She trails off, shaking her head. Huffing out a breath, she continues,] Don't do that again, Kano!

[duplicitoussight]

[Sniiiicker.]

Got it, got it. I won't warn you the next time I see Leader coming~

[eyecaptivating]

N-no... No, Kano! Tell me, but only if she's really there!

[WHY THIS]

[duplicitoussight]

Let's get to work like we intended to! [NOT GIVING YOU AN ANSWER HERE]

[eyecaptivating]

[HUFF HUFF. KANO, YOU'RE TERRIBLE. She motions further inside the apartment, frowning.]

Then let's go!

[duplicitoussight]

[He on the other hand is still smiling as he leads her into the kitchen.]

So~ Do you have any designs in mind?

[eyecaptivating]

[She follows him at a slower pace, her annoyance (and desire for violence!!) somewhat appeased by his question.]

Yes! We should design him a really different hoodie... Like the one I have!

[duplicitoussight]

That's fairly easy, isn't it? We just have to slap a silly phrase on it and call it a day.

[eyecaptivating]

[Give her a moment to catch his meaning, give her a moment...]

H-hey! Kano! It's not silly. There's a style, too!

[duplicitoussight]

So... if we wrote 'kero kero' for your brother's hoodie, that'd count as fashionable.

[eyecaptivating]

[Um... Um... UH... Oh boy.]

It'd look a lot more fashionable than his jacket does!

[duplicitoussight]

[Oh Momo.]

... then let's do it!

[eyecaptivating]

[Huff huff, Kanooooo.]

...F-fine! Let's do it, come on! Have you got any paper?

[duplicitoussight]

Yup, yup. Wait here!

[He leaves the room and comes back with the papers and some colored pencils, spreading them out on the table.] Can you draw?

[eyecaptivating]

[Her annoyance pushed aside for the moment, she heads for the table, pulling one of the papers closer to herself, along with a pencil.]

I guess so... I'm not so bad! But you've gotta help me out.

[Now excuse her as she begins to scribble out a fashionable truly hideous hoodie.]

[duplicitoussight]

[Kano hovers over her shoulder, a pencil in his hand as well-- what is she even drawing here.]

... is that a barnacle?

[eyecaptivating]

[A... barnacle... Still gripping the pencil tightly, she looks back up at him.]

Wh-what?! No. It's a hoodie! A hoodie!

[duplicitoussight]

--ah, ah, I see it now! I couldn't see it at first because of your unique drawing style...

[eyecaptivating]

Eh? But it looks just like one! [She frowns down at her drawing, tapping the pencil against it.] ...Doesn't it?!

[duplicitoussight]

A barna-- oh, you mean a hoodie! Right. It does. It's a very magnificent hoodie.

[eyecaptivating]

I-It's not a barnacle! It's just fine... My big brother can wear a hoddie just like this!
