"So what did you call us for?"

"Oh nothing, just wanted to see if you're developing into a gorilla just fine, Kojiro."

"Pfft-"

The three of us were at Sialaluce, the Italian restaurant owned by Kojiro himself. Me and Kaoru decided to get free dinner here before it closes, much to Kojiro's dismay.

It was the first time in a while that all three of us met up that's not in our 'S' personas. Although all of us were still updated as to what we've been doing in life, it still feels different if you catch up in person.

"No seriously what is it?" Kojiro asked as he served our meals.

"Remember the two kids I myself taught skating to? Well-"

I recalled how I sat down inside the hospital room, the colors of the sunset filtering through the light curtains as he just stared at it, saying that he would quit skateboarding.

How Reki just stood there in utter shock at his friend's words. Neither feeling betrayed nor angry, but instead he felt dejected.

"One of them got badly injured, and quit." I said regretfully. "Had I not introduced them to 'S' then none of this would have happened."

"Wrong."

I looked at Kaoru who just drank his water and looked back at me. "They would've found out about 'S' sooner or later anyways, it isn't your fault for teaching them."

Kojiro let out a chuckle, "Finally something to agree on with you." He put his hand on top of my head and ruffled it, making a mess out of my ponytail.

"Besides, you have other things to worry about,"

I looked down and nodded my head, the corners of my lips slightly curving upwards, realizing how I have such great friends to cheer me up at times like these.

"-like your height for example."

Nevermind.

"Hahh? Hey Kaoru, atleast I wasn't a yankee with piercings everywhere thinking it was stylish!"

"That was years ago!"

"Even Kojiro wasn't as wild as you were back then!"

"He's wilder than me now though?!"

And so, the three of us bickered for the rest of the night, just like old times. Relieving our memories from back when we were in high school and earlier memories from middle school.

"How is it with your family?" Kaoru asked just when we are preparing to leave.

"My father's still in Spain if that's what you're asking." I said without hesitation, I'd rather not talk about my mother's side.

He hummed in response, getting the subtle hint not to cross that line. Kojiro went out of the kitchen in his casual clothes, and being the idiot he is, asked.

"What about the marriage talks? You should just beat the-"

"You feeble minded gorilla!" Kaoru yelled in a hushed voice as he punched Kojiro in the head repeatedly.

They started wrestling, with Kojiro using his large hand to squeeze the entirety of Kaoru's face and the latter who was still hitting him in the back of his head.
