I had an interesting start to the week that I have some mixed feelings on. Thank you, Zaizen-kun, for letting me stay over so much lately. Things will sort themselves out hopefully soon and I can stop invading your room so much.

I got motivated this morning to call my sister and catch up with her. It's been a while since we've talked properly with each other, what with both of us being busy with university and living apart. Our mother tells her more than she tells me, so I got a long update on my family as well.

She asked me about my plans for New Years and I have no idea -- what is everyone else planning on doing? Eishirou, are you going back home for New Years?

... And I think I've been eating too much pizza lately. I've gained weight.

I guess you don't want the pizza I just ordered, then.

[rinhirakoba]

... Damnit.

[izen]

I'll eat it in front of you and drop the anchovies on your floor.

[rinhirakoba]

That's quite unnecessary. I'll eat it with you.

[izen]

We should order two...

[rinhirakoba]

Eat the first one and... pick anchovies off the second to throw on my floor? No thank you.

[izen]

Eat the first one. Then eat the second one.

[rinhirakoba]

Can you fit a second pizza half in?

Also, do you mind if I take a photo with you? My sister wants to see a photo.

[izen]

If you can dream it, you can do it. For breakfast.

I'm a ghost. I don't appear in pictures.

[rinhirakoba]

We should try eating something else we both enjoy...

We can try anyway. She's very curious about my new friend.

[izen]

Baby carrots. Mochi. Soup.

[mimic_yuu]

Embrace the pizza. Eat the pizza.

[rinhirakoba]

I have nothing against pizza, but I've been eating it a bit too often lately...

[mimic_yuu]

..Nonsense. You can't never have enough pizza!

[fins_of_justice]

I also don't have plans for New Years. You have a sister?

[rinhirakoba]

What did you do last year? I usually go home, but it might be nice to spend one year on the mainland...

And yes, I do have a sister.

[fins_of_justice]

I went home, too. My dad enjoys the extra help around the holidays, so I try to get out there. This year, he and mom are taking a small vacation. I don't know what to do.

Just the one?

[rinhirakoba]

Mm, that sounds nice. Extra help doing what?

Yes, just one older sister.

[fins_of_justice]

Family business. My parents own a store. I grew up stocking shelves.

Ah.... I'm an only child.

[rinhirakoba]

That must've been good for building up upper body strength. What sort of store is it?

Sister's aren't that great, you're not missing out on too much.

[fins_of_justice]

...That's one way to look at it. It's a small grocery store. It's nothing special to most people, but I'm sentimental about it I guess

Mm...I had a close friend that was like a sister to me growing up. We teased each other, but I loved her like family. I can sort-of relate. But I guess it's different when you're living with a person.

[rinhirakoba]

Do you have any photos of it?

We shared a room for a while when we were younger and things were a bit tense. It got easier when we moved into separate rooms.

[fins_of_justice]

Yes. ...Would you like to...see?

That makes sense. The only time I've shared a room was in boarding school. That was...difficult.

[rinhirakoba]

That'd be quite nice, yes.

You went to boarding school? How impressive. My parents were reluctant enough to let me move here after high school. But yes, rooming with someone who's not family would be difficult. I could think of a few people I'd be willing to with, though.

[fins_of_justice]

I'll email them.

Yes, for a year in high school. Samezuka. It was hard being that far from home. Is it difficult for you?

...We fought over a lot. Who got bottom bunk was a serious issue for a day or so.
