Morning breeze, birds chirping. The morning feels like any other morning that she has been through as far as she lives. It's soothing, it's fresh.

She inhales slowly. The surrounding feel so calming.

ZSAAAK!

Or so she thought.

The slide door open abruptly with a loud sound. And the silhouette enters without permission.

"Oi, what are you doing?"

My morning..

She turn around to find him, already dressed. Obviously in all his black yukatas. Waiting for her.

"Good morning, Ak--"

Cut, "Save the wish. Answer my question. What are you doing?"

She tilt her head, "What do you mean? I'm just looking outside", she points to the opened window.

"That's not what I meant, woman", saying while pointing at his wrist watch.

"Watch? You mean what time is it?", she looks at the wall clock, "It's 8am"

"Exactly. And?", he eyes, narrowly. Full with annoyance.

She confused, clearly.

"What's wrong? The yukatas and kimonos have been prepared. The arrangements have been made. Everything has been done"

He squint his eyes.

She thinks again, very carefully.

What more?

Everything is done, right?

And furthermore, why is he looking at me like that?

Scary.

"Did I miss anything, Akito-san?", she speaks, carefully.

"Maji? You witch"

"I'm sorry but--

"Breakfast. You didn't come. Why didn't you come to breakfast?"

Aree?

He continues, "Do you know how much of my time have you wasted? Do you think I'm that free?"

"But it's just breakfast", innocent, she expressed.

"Huh??!"

Scary.

"Who gave you permission to talk back? You seem to forget your place"

"I'm sorry. --but I don't get it. It is just breakfast. I mean, if I didn't come, you can just continue. I mean just eat. Yeah, just eat. I mean why should you  wait?", she trails, nervously.

He instantly walk to her.

There he goes.

And I'm dead.

He stopped when he reaches her. Right in front of her.

Without a pause,"Because I want to eat together with you", he whispers.

She looked at him, slowly. Blank.

Eh?

"Baka. I want to eat with you, understand?"

"..."

"Your expression..made me angry", he knitted his eyebrows.

"I don't understand"
