In Dakota's life, he was ordinary. He also looked ordinary. He was a good employee, loved by his family, and had a girlfriend. After a terrible misunderstanding, his girlfriend suddenly breaks up with him, his job goes up in smoke, and now his fathe...

Dakota and Yuki return to the kitchen by descending the stairs. Dakota was relieved in some ways. Yuki consented to his request; all he had to do now was wait. He hoped the heat wouldn't arrive too soon. He wanted to take Freya on a tour of the city, showing her his favorite locations.
"Dinner's almost done," Misaki says to him, a beautiful smile on her face.
His heart ached as a result of the smile. He may never see them again. It was a difficult conclusion to come to, but what else could he do except enjoy every moment with them...
Dakota responds with a smile, "Okay Mom, I'll go grab them."
He was now able to smell the delectable food. It immediately reminded him of Freya's cooking. His mother and father's cooking were always delicious. But will it be as good as Freya's? Dakota turns and continues down the hallway till he reaches the living room. They were all still sitting. Yoshito has a look of bliss on his face, despite being expressionless. And Freya fixed her gaze on his right away.
He felt her concern and tenderness. What was she concerned about? He had just been gone for around thirty minutes.
Now that he thought about it, he, too, felt strange. All he could think of during his conversation with Yuki was Freya. Nothing pleased him more than closing the gap between them. Why?
He loved her—and loved being in her arms—but he'd never been this attached before. Dakota's eyes widened as he realized something unexpected. 'Is this one of the heat-related symptoms?' It made sense. This was his first time feeling so clingy. When he was with Freya, he was normally shy. He wasn't sure why, but Freya brought out his shyness.
So, why has he been so bold lately? Hugging her in front of his parents? Kissing in front of his parents? It has to be linked to the heat.
If that's the case, Freya predicted that another of his symptoms would be nesting. He still couldn't see himself doing that—but he did think the same thing about what he's been doing today. Maybe the heat is closer than he anticipated...
"Uh, dinner is almost ready. You guys can come sit at the table."
Freya stands up swiftly, just as Dakota turns to go back into the dining room. His mind was a complete wreck. He needed to keep his distance from her, but his body was telling him otherwise. He could barely go a few hours without her..
As he enters the dining room once again he seat's himself on the table. Plates, napkins, knives, and forks, decorated the table. His mom and dad were always fancy when it came to food.
They both loved cooking. "We're just about done Yuki, you can go ahead and take a seat." His mother voices.
"Okay," Yuki replies. She walks out of the kitchen and sits at the seat next to him.
