The Tsukishima household is bursting, going from two people to four. Akiteru's made it a point to get home. Curious about this 'friend' who's actually able to get Kei laughing.

Despite the earlier tale, the brothers seem comfortable enough. If Tsukki's quiet, well, it's been a long day. And night. He talks easily to Akiteru. (Though there's a hesitant look on the elder, whenever Tsukki turns away. As if he's weighing every word, surveying for new cracks.)

But it's good, warm and comfortable, with plenty of food. Mrs. Tsukishima clearly unphased by teenage appetites.

There are also plenty of chances to sneak glances at photos of baby Tsukki. Especially the one of him dressed as a T-Rex for a school play. Which Mrs. Tsukishima is happy to talk all about, despite protests from her son.
