Meanwhile with Inko and Nemuri

*While the children were suffering from having to go to a social event with people from their past and having to pretend like they cared even a little about anybody there. We see Inko walking up the stairs to her apartment with Nemuri. They spend the last hour having a nice driving date. Inko looked at Nemuri with a happy smile on her face, today has been the best day for her.*

Inko: I have to admit, a surprise car ride was a wonderful idea.

Nemuri: Thanks, I'm pretty happy with my baby. I could tell you a bunch of bull about why I got it.... but I only got it since it's the model Bumblebee from Transformers turned into.

*Nemuri said with a small laugh as she looked down at the parking spot it was a 1977 Camaro made to look exactly like Bumblebee when he's in car mode. It was one of her greatest treasures.... a treasure that she spent so long trying to figure out how to maintain, she just bought it without doing even a little bit of research, she was so bad at the beginning that she didn't even know that the car needed an engine oil change every 6 months. Inko giggled softly as she slapped Nemuri's arm playfully.*

Inko: pfff. At least you're honest. I take it you bought it when you were a teenager?

Nemuri: Yes. Telling you right now. One of the worst mistakes of my life. I didn't know how to maintain it at first so I had to learn on the fly, and I went to the car dealership thinking they would give me a fair deal.

*Nemuri said with a groan remembering the day she got her car. Everybody in that dealership could smell the blood in the water a mile away, they could tell that Nemuri was a sucker who didn't know the first thing about the business, so they took advantage of that. Nemuri got her first car yes. But she now knows that she got what is without a doubt one ot the worst deals of her life. Inko chucjled having a good idea why Nemuri groaned. Not like Inko had that problem, Hisashi got her the car she's currently driving, and he did the impossible he outplayed a car salesman.*

Inko: They screwed you over huh?

Nemuri: 6 ways to Sunday. I paid more for my car than I did for my rent and food when I first decided to make it on my own.

*Nemuri said with a small wince, thinking of those times, her diet consisted of a Ramen-based diet and whatever free food she could muster up while being a full-time superhero. It was a rough existence for a good bit there, Nemuri had to do certain things that she's neutral about now as just "part of the industry" but in the end it was worth it to get to where none of us will ever be, thanks to the worst generation who unfortunately has all the power. Financially stable. Inko looked at Nemuri with intrigue in her gaze.*

Inko: How did you handle all of that?

Nemuri: Got lucky and my friends from high school needed a place to crash, so they paid their share of the rent. It wasn't much. But it was enough so that I could breathe. Also because I stole a lot of their food.

*Nemuri said honestly, thinking of Hizashi Yamada and Shota Aizawa, the Fantastic 4 that later turned into the Magnificent Trio, really has been through most of their lives together ever since they became friends in high school they have seen each other at their best and their lowest, especially Shota when Oboro Shirakumo died in the line of duty. To be honest Shota never really got over that, and still blames himself for that death. Inko nodded as she was gonna continue to ask questions about nemuri, when they stopped at her floor.&
