![]() Do you want to go watch birds or buildings?" Suddenly you have many ideas and are an authority on how interesting it is. HIDEAKI: "I thought you didn't know what there was to do here. How can you live in a place with so much to do and do nothing?" Birds? Architecture? One of those restaurants you were talking about? I thought this city had tons of cool stuff. If I did, there would be more photos in this house than there currently are. HISAO: "Do you just collect cameras, or are you into photography, too?" I try to play it off and change the subject." NARRATOR: "It's hard to tell if he's joking. HIDEAKI: "Why do you yell? I hope you do not yell so much around Shizune." #WE WERE HERE CHESS EXPLORER ROUTE HOW TO#Shizune said to be entertaining, and I think I don't know how to do that." NARRATOR: "I almost yawn the words, so Hideaki ignores them entirely." This is something Hideaki picks up on himself." The same goes for cameras I'd rather handle them than collect them. Fishing is fun, but it's something I would rather do than discuss. Quickly, I start to realize that Hideaki's idea of fun is fishing, collecting cameras, and making esoteric puns. He also seems to be earnestly trying to be nice. NARRATOR: "I don't want to trouble him, and try to make him see that, but Hideaki is as stubborn as his sister and feels as if this is his duty. Shizune wanted me to keep you company today." Why are you being so nice? Are you showing your secret nice side now that your sister isn't around?" HISAO: "You're sure eager to please today. This appears to be as awkward a conversation for him as it is for me." NARRATOR: "I was just about to ask him about what Shizune was like when she was younger, but he's managed to sidetrack me with just one question. You don't want to do some sightseeing, or eat at a specific restaurant?" HIDEAKI: "I thought there might be somewhere you would want to go. Maybe it's a rude call to make so early, but it would certainly explain a large chunk of Shizune's personality." ![]() I'm assuming he's extremely shy or extremely lazy. What I know so far is that he asks his business partners and friends of his daughter to do favors for him. ![]() I wonder what kind of person Shizune's dad is again, other than relatively outdoorsy. It's a shame I'll eventually have to leave here and won't be around to see whatever he is planning. Maybe he wants to have the best bake sale fundraiser ever. I don't know what kind of business connections a little kid would need. Maybe you should start taking lessons from her, you could increase your business connections." HISAO: "Well, she's got a nice and cheerful personality. The local businesspeople love dealing with Misha, so he insisted." HIDEAKI: "Shizune and Misha left to run some errands for our dad. If Shizune and Misha ate breakfast already, it can't be because they're asleep. While I'm eating, I notice that the house seems oddly quiet for a place with Misha in it. I wish he were a little easier to converse with. NARRATOR: "Hideaki simply nods as I sit at the table with my breakfast. It puts the way Shizune and Lilly deal with each other into context, and makes me even more wary of getting involved." NARRATOR: "Hearing that gives me plenty to think about. Our fathers are brothers, and do not like each other." There's a brief pause before Hideaki deigns to fill me in a little more." Do the Hakamichis and Satous often get together like that?" HISAO: "That fishing trip yesterday was fun. ![]() I try to make some conversation with him while I'm getting my breakfast, to fill in the silence." It's an odd way to show it, but I appreciate it nonetheless, and I am feeling pretty hungry. NARRATOR: "Despite that, he repeats his question again. HISAO: "“We?” Aren't you eating breakfast right now?" HIDEAKI: "What do you think we should have for breakfast?" His fork raised midway to his mouth, he seems unsure whether he should continue eating or greet me. ![]() When I step into the living room, Hideaki is there finishing up his breakfast. By the time I get up, I'm already starting the day with a migraine from a combination of trouble falling asleep and waking up late. I spent quite a bit of time scraping them out of my luggage. NARRATOR: "Some of my pills spilled out all over the bottom of my bag, which I didn't realize until minutes before I was set to go to bed last night. ![]()
