Umiko woke up in the morning alone on Genos's futon, a note left on the left side of the bed.

Written in Genos's impeccably neat handwriting, he wrote, "I have left at 4:45 in the morning, and I will return at three o-Clock precisely. I hope you have a lovely afternoon."

He signed his name in a such a way that screamed that he had practiced it over and over again, presice and accurate.

Umiko giggled to herself, her unnaturally wide eyes closed with warmth and happiness.

Umiko stood up, dusting herself off. The girl felt like since she slept in Genos's bed, again, she decided to make it look neat, as it was simple common sense in general.

As she finished working about, he heard a knock at the doorframe. "Genos still here?" Umiko heard Saitama ask.

"Uh, nope!" Umiko shot up, standing straight. "He left me a letter." Umiko replied, awkwardly bending back to reach down to pick up the little note Genos had left her.

"He uh... left at four-fourty-five..." Umiko read out.

"Oh! Okay then." Saitama replied, just as awkwardly.

"So...." The bald man hummed.

"Yup...." Umiko agreed.

Silence. Not much could be heard except from the occasional faint car beep from outside.

"So... are you sure that you're not moving in?" Saitama questioned.

"What?" She exclaimed. "It's not like that!" She laughed.

"Seriously? Im pretty sure Genos is gonna move you in here like it's his god-given right." Saitama rubbed the back of his bald head. "But hey, you make pretty good tea, so I guess you have that going for you."

"Huh-  I mean- yeeee-up!" Umiko held a thumbs up, flashing her fangs in the most friendly way she could.

It was a little weird to see Umiko smile. Well, she was pretty enough. But she has... a too-wide of a smile, too sharp of teeth, to say. And something about her eyes too. Something nobody could describe that added onto her uncanny factor.

It's what gave her monster away.

But apparently Umiko was cute enough to pass as a full human girl.

Saitama awkwardly laughed. "Yup..." he replied.

"I'm gonna go home now. Also, this shirt is mine now." Umiko tugged at the shirt she borrowed from Genos.

"Oki doki then. See ya later." Saitama waved bye, and walked to his room to get changed into his general hero outfit.

"Bye!" Umiko collected her things, and quickly left with a Smile.

She quietly shut the door, rushing downstairs to get to her apartment to find a surprise on her doorstep.

A large, cardboard box, and a letter taped to the top.

"What the...." Umiko picked the box up, shaking it. 'Sounds like cloth.' Thought the part-monster.

Umiko's attention was then turned to the letter taped atop.

Inside it read,

'Dearest Umiko!

It is I! Your favorite sister! Nadia! When I payed you a visit with the rest of our dearest  family, minus three, I couldn't help but notice how poorly dressed you were, and it pained me so much to stare at you poor-man's rags that I had to go shopping and buy you a new wardrobe! I know you like to show skin and whatnot, so I managed to find almost every kind of dress that I thought you would like!
