Laying on the peaceful ground outside the house, I realized how boring this is.

Sitting back up, I dig up some grass clumps and throw them.

'...fun...'

"I guess I should eat."

Entering the sullen room, I move towards the kitchen only to find a box on the counter.

Passing closer, I open the lid to find a message in it.

"I hope you enjoy the lunch I made, love from... Okasan... what am I? A child?"

Finding a spare set of chopsticks, I say a quiet prayer before digging in.

The rice tasted like fried rice, but it certainly doesn't look like it.

The chicken on the other hand is crispy with a tiny of salt.

"What's this?"

A pamphlet with an ad about animas showed on it with a Television channel on it.

Turning on the television, I fumble around the remote until I finally found what I'm looking for.

Animas are interesting creatures, just like humanity.

One showed an elephant with its child.

Fascinating.

Bang!

"Ohhhhhh Kiyotaka-kun!!!!!"

Seems like my mother is home.

Her burst in energy is so recognizable that I couldn't fail to understand who'd be calling me.

"What are you doing?" She asked after walking into the living room.

"Nothing, why?"

"Ara~ ara~ are you starting to be rebellious already? I mean what are you watching? I didn't expect you to be so curious about animals."

Animals are creatures that truly make me curious.

Their minds are so intriguing that I liked to observe them from a distance.

Dogs are cute, affectionate creatures while cats care also cute, but dangerous.

Birds look so free soaring up in the high skies in a formation.

If I were to die, I'd want to be a bird in a new life.

Mrs-... Okasan set her purse on the counter but immediately went to check the sink.

"Ah, did you enjoy my cooking?"

"Yes, it was quite good."

"I'm so glad! I made it with my love!"

This woman is dangerous. Especially for her husband.

I quietly say a quick player to my poor Father who must have a hard life before turning my attention again to my mother.
