A coincidence, surely.
A strange happenstance of nature.
But a glance at the name told him it wasn't... but the name was still setting off alarms in his mind...
France reached for the telephone.
The instinct to call England had been stilled almost as soon as it had risen. If Arthur or Matthieu had seen this photograph-- Francis would rather they not, at least until he verified-- there could be untold tears, and a further shattering of two bright spirits that were desperately in need of relief.
“Japon?” Francis spoke calmly, “My apologies for the odd hour of my call. There is a flight to North Korea which will be refueling in Tokyo tomorrow. I need to ask a favour."

“Sorry, dears, you're a bit late, if you were looking for Dr. England.” The voice from the next door down called to them-- then changed slightly as the elderly looking woman with the toffee coloured skin noticed their companion. “Well, there you are, Iggy, I've been looking all over for you-- come to Miss Nettie, Al isn't going to be back for a while. You'll just have to deal with me not spoiling the stuffings out of you.”
Arthur froze.
"Iggy--" The young man was not really in any shape to be coming to visit him, and it would be a few days before Arthur could come and see him. "I miss you, Iggy. I can't wait until you're here."
"It's only a few days, Alfred, and I'll be there." The way Alfred lapsed into the nickname whenever he was hurt or sick tugged at England's heart-- "Stay strong, dear heart."
"I'll try, Arthur," The younger Nation sounded tired, "It helps just to hear your voice." “Al...” Matthew murmured. “Miss Nettie, you know Dr. England

Tokyo:
Japan had nearly refused France's request.
Nearly.
When the European Nation had called him at a bizarrely early hour, he had been concerned that there was yet another crisis in the world-- and almost angry that it was not.
France hadn't explained the favour, at first, beyond 'Delay them in Tokyo I will be there as soon as I can.'
The invocation of England's name, and their friendship had caught Japan's attention before he hung up on France. The further invocation of Canada, brother to his lost friend had captured his interest.
“Any way you can,” France had said, “Get them to fake a mechanical difficulty, manufacture a problem with their passports-- just don't let that group leave. I must speak with them.”
“Why?” Japan had naturally asked, “Why so much trouble for a group of Americans-- if they have no weapons, and no intent to harm North Korea--”
“You will understand when you see them.” The assumption that Japan would be too curious to merely delay the group had been far too correct. And after America-kun had

For all the bad things that had happened, the good outweighed it all, and his friendship with England was the closest one that he had now. And Japan could not allow the sombre Nation to break.
So he was there at the airport to assuage that curiosity. What could France mean by his remark-- Japan would know what when he saw them

I'm hooked on this fic. And you are amazing for updating so frequently. (I'm not so good at that myself.) And I'm really happy with Japan's inclusion, since not too many fics I've read mention England & Japan's friendship. I'll be waiting for the next update. But, the last line has me wondering - wait, what language is Alain (Alfred!) speaking?? (Bonus <3s for your cliffys by the way. Gotta love a good cliffhanger.)

Sorry I'm late.;) “Alain was my son's name.” Miss Nettie told them, as she poured the lemonade. (“Artificially flavored, I'm afraid-- the real stuff is too expensive to keep around these days.”) “He died in the service twenty years ago. And 'Al' had to be short for something, so when I took him in while he was going through therapy, we discussed it, and he took it on. Made it official, even

“He wanted to help people. The cat was a start-- but he wanted to help kids. Which makes sense, considering that he got hurt saving one in the first place.” Miss Nettie smiled. “He's a pediatric trauma specialist. Youngest in his group
