Kazuichi stood outside the gates of Hopes Peak and waited for Gundham. Once he finally arrived they walked in awkward silence towards Gundham's house.

  His house was big. It was two stories tall with a large yard and tall fence. When Kazuichi stepped inside, he realized it seems smaller on the Inside, maybe because of the furniture, or maybe his house just had thick walls. Gundham haphazardly kicked off his shoes at the front door, and went upstairs, motioning Kazuichi to follow. Gundham walked into his room. As soon as he walked in, the smell hit Kazuichi's nose. It wasn't a bad or unpleasant smell. It smelled exactly like Gundham. His room was neat and mostly empty. Containing what most people, like Kazuichi, would consider the bare minimum. "Why's your room so... empty?" He questioned.

   "It's just cleaner this way," Gundham answered. "Let's get to work." He got an old laptop off his desk, and sat down on the floor next to Kazuichi.

   Time passed mostly by Gundham typing things on his computer, and every one in a while asking Kazuichi a question about engineering. Kazuichi was mostly spaced out, watching Gundham type. Sometimes he'd try to ask if he could help but he got shut down. 

   Eventually it was 6:30. Gundham offered to let Kazuichi stay for dinner, but he declined. "A mere mortal like you shouldn't walk home alone at night."

'Does he care, or does he just think I'm the kind of person to get mugged?' Kazuichi wondered. "Does that mean you'll walk me home?"

"I suppose so," Gundham said, pulling his scarf up over his mouth and up to his nose.

"Let's get going then!" Kazuichi gave a wide, toothy, sharky grin and headed to the front door to put on his sneakers he threw off when he came into the house.
