Junichi is welcoming as always, and I cringe a little because I don't want to wipe those smiles off their faces, I don't want to upset them, I don't want to disturb what they've built for themselves here.
Tetsuya tells me pointedly, subtext so strong that it's basically text, that he's delighted to see me but not so much if it's business. I head up the walk with him, sighing, half wishing I'd told Yuusuke and Megumi so I'd have company. But no, I charged off by myself so as not to worry anyone.
Idiot.
"Thank you. Both. Really," I say, smiling as they kiss. "Family's fine, generally. We've picked up another kid, and he's great."
I sigh. "But I'm here with a warning, as you've guessed."
