Narrator's POV:

Komi and Tadano wanted to visit Henry and his family, also to see how's Alex and his wound, so they rang on the doorbell.

Nick: "Oh, it's you guys... come on in."

Nick opened the door, but he looked rather annoyed for an unknown reason. The house was as clean as when they first arrived.

Henry: "Oh Komi, Tadano. Perfect timing... please, could you settle a little argument that I have with Emma."

Emma: "Let's be honest, dear, it's not an argument, it's a fight."

Henry: "And now, it's a scene..."

Henry and Emma were in a fight between each other, the rest of the family stood by the side lines. Alex then came down the stairs, he seemed afraid.

Alex: "Why are you dragging Komi and Tadano to involve in your personal life?"

Henry: "It's not personal? It's a math problem."

Alex: "Paaaass..."

Alex was not interested on joining that problem between the young version of his parents.

Henry: "So, Emma and I finally catched a break with the summer homework and  got to do bowling for the first time in 5 months and she thought it would be fun to try and resolve an "inane math problem" to which her answer is wrong."

Komi: "Can we get to the numbers please?"

Henry: "It's the 'monty hole' problem."

Emma: "You're on a game show, where there are three doors, behind one of which is a car. You pick a door and the host opens a different door, showing there's nothing behind it, now the host asks if you want to pick the other door. Should you do it?"

Henry: "No!"

Emma: "Yes!"

Henry: "It doesn't make any sense to switch! The prize is behind one of two doors, it's a fifty-fifty chance either way

Henry: "It doesn't make any sense to switch! The prize is behind one of two doors, it's a fifty-fifty chance either way."

Emma: "It's two thirds if you switch, one third if you don't, the probability locks in when you make the choice, we've been over this eight times!"

Henry: "Seven times. Now you can't even do simple addition."

Komi and Tadano took a while to answer.

Tadano: "Sorry, Henry, but I think Emma's right."

Komi: "Yeah, Emma's right..."

Henry sighed and banned them from the house.

They didn't understand why, but they saw that Alex was no longer wearing that bandaid.

Then next day, at evening, Komi and Tadano phone called Henry and Alex. They gave it all to be able to speak properly.

 Tadano: "Good... evening."
