“Daddy, when’s Mommy coming home?”
“When I’m done with my research.”
“Why do I keep having blackouts?”
“Because you’re sick, Hotaru.”
“When will I get better?”
“When I’m done with my research.”
“Daddy, why does Kaori have to live with us?”
“I need her help with my research.”
“I don’t want the other kids at school to see my scars. Do I have to go to gym?”
“I’ll sign the note. It wouldn’t be good for your body’s health anyway.”
“Why are you never home anymore?”
“I’m busy. My research is important.”
“Father, I invited a friend over. Is that alright?”
He blinked in surprise. “Yes, I suppose so.”
