           "So this is where you live? How quaint." Luna smirks as she looks around the house, genuinely enjoying the architecture and decor. "Could use a woman's touch though." Torino scoffs and rolls his hidden brown eyes, continuing to try and ignore the teen who's been following him around like a lost puppy for the past hour.

           "Do you ever stop talking?" "I don't think so. I've been told I talk in my sleep." The man stops to stare at the girl, bewilderment spreading across his features. "Don't look so confused, hīrō. About 66% of people sleep talk. It's really not that uncommon." "Sure, keep telling yourself you aren't weird." "Oh, no, I know I am. I'm just stating the statistics." "Whatever. Go find your friend and leave me alone." "I don't think I will." Torino sighs before plopping back on his couch. Luna was the first to show up. Nana and Toshinori still haven't made an appearance. Toshi probably fell back asleep, and who knows where Nana is.

           "You got anything to eat?" "Check the fridge." "Mmkay." Luna smiles before heading to the kitchen, Torino watching her the entire time. He shakes his head, not liking how his thoughts revolve around the 'moon child.' She's underage—It won't work. "Mmm~ taiyaki." "Don't touch my taiyaki, kid!" He hears her blow raspberries from the kitchen, causing him to groan loudly. A couple minutes later, the delectable smell is wafting around his entire house. "You want some?" Luna smiles as she carries a plate full of taiyaki into the living room. Torino's eyes narrow on the steaming food, not trusting the teen's innocent act. "What? It's not like I poisoned it." She snickers while sitting the plate on the coffee table before taking one for herself. She gently blows on it before taking a bite. "Mmm~ Yummy."

           Torino grabs one and gently blows on it before pushing it towards Luna's lips. She tilts her head with a small, confused grin. "Bite it." She shrugs before taking a bite, the chocolate filling coating her tongue. "Hmph!" Torino grumbles before taking a bite himself, slowly relaxing as he realizes there's really nothing wrong with it. "You honestly think I would poison you?" "I wouldn't put it past you." "Wow, thanks." Luna deadpans before taking another bite of her treat. Eventually she sighs and sits back, her tummy full of taiyaki. "That was delicious. At least I know you've got good food. For future reference." "You eat it, you pay for it." "Noted." A small giggle leaves the teen's lips before she licks them, the taste of chocolate still lingering on her tongue. Torino huffs and looks away, not wanting to watch an underage girl lick her plump lips.

           "Anyways, they still aren't here." "Way to point out the obvious, kid." "I'm not a kid. How many times do I have to say that before it gets through your thick skull?" Torino chuckles darkly before standing up. Luna watches skeptically, not trusting what he's doing. "Come on." "Where are we going?" "To train."

            "Is that all you've got? I figured your dad would have trained you better." Tornio huffs from his spot on the ground as Luna growls, wiping some sweat and blood from her forehead. "Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about!" "Oh? Are you sure?" Luna stands up and marches towards the still sitting man. He smirks and jumps away before she can reach him. "What's the matter, Luna? Why are you so angry?" "Because you don't know me! You don't know anything! So stop acting like you understand!" "What's there to understand? Your dad is an abusive cheater who takes his anger out on you, the youngest child. Everyone knows it—Everyone sees it." "Then why won't anyone help me?!" Luna screams, catching the hero off guard. He never expected her to break down like this, especially in front of him.
