June/13/2019: Mayes Household, Hoja City:

Hustle and bustle was prominent at the Mayes household as Mark exited his car and walked towards the front door. Knocking loud enough he got the attention of someone who came over and opened the door. Upon the door opening Mark saw a familiar face, one that had become family to Austin and Nonna in time.

"Saki, how are you doing? May I come in?" Mark asked the silent girl. Saki nodded her head with a smile and moved aside to let him enter. The girls from Ooarai's Rabbit team had, since the game ending, basically family to Austin and Nonna. Austin more so as he came to see the six of them as younger sisters. In lieu of having any biological sisters he was all to happy to have them anyway.

"Mayes household you have the honor of welcoming Mark Manson into your esteemed home! Come and bask in my glory!" Mark announced himself.

"Shut up moron!" Austin called from kitchen. Mark looked around the living room to his left saw Yuuki and Ayumi playing cards on the coffee table while Saki went to watch. Moving passed them, while saying hello, Mark came and saw Austin, Nonna, and Azusa inside the kitchen all cooking what seemed to be an assortment of pasta, meat, vegetables, and fish.

"Good to see you brother. Grab a seat and take a load off, I got some beer in the fridge." Austin said. Mark nodded and took his jacket off while taking a seat at the bar stand in front of the kitchen.

"Nonna, Azusa how are you two today?" Mark asked getting the attention of the two women.

"Evening Mark, doing great." Azusa said.

"Everything's going well. Foods almost done to." Nonna said. "Oh Austin can you call the others down to?"

"Yeah." Austin said setting a beer in front of Mark as he moved passed him to the base of the stairs leading to the second floor of the house. "Aya, Karina, Cody come down dinners almost ready!"

"We're those three playing that video game?" Mark asked to which Austin nodded as they took sips from their bottles.

"Yeah. Cody cant get enough of it. He practically asked me everything about the Year Long Match while he was playing one day. He's become very infatuated with it actually." Austin said. After the match on the island ended and knowledge of how the match went a game company in Japan created a video game based off the match using the old players as bases for the models for the playable characters in the game, with the persons permission of course, as well as modeling the vehicles after those used in the match.

"Still not completely sure what changed your mind about naming your son after your older brother. I remember you wanted to name your first son Geroge." Mark asked. Austin nodded his head but glanced over at Nonna.

"Should I not have? You remember what Cody was like, the big brother to everyone on our street." Austin said.

"Yes, I remember. Organizing football games, showing off on his skateboard, convincing people he was Tony Hawk reincarnated. I still remember when he rode that thing through the abandon hospital." Mark and Austin shared a laugh.

"Besides, Nonna helped me remember just how important Cody was to me growing up. So that's why I named my first son after my brother." Austin said now realizing the three he called weren't down here yet. He moved back over to the stairs and called again. "Aya, Karina, Cody get down here now!"

The sound of feet running was the response he received and down came the two last members of the Rabbit team as well as the young Cody Mayes, Son to Austin and Nonna Mayes.
