(Somewhere in Osaka, Miya Osamu buries a sneeze into his shoulder to avoid contaminating his kitchen, and hopes he isn't getting sick.)
Kaoru steps away from his handiwork and finally allows himself to take a breath as he surveys the space. The event hall, with its ornate moldings and trims, has an added splash of color from bright balloons, streamers, ornaments, and an enormous dinosaur pinata. The table coverings are plastic, branded with the logo for the Jurassic Park films and the dinos from the same movie; the tableware, paper cups and plates, also match. Life-sized cardboard cutouts of dinosaurs are set up for fun photo opportunities, along with a devilishly handsome Jeff Goldblum cutout that Kaoru hopes will make Kei laugh. It looks like every five year old boy's dream party, taken to extremes.
It's exactly what Kaoru had envisioned, and he takes pride in a job well done. The party still needs to go off as planned, of course, but Kaoru knows the goal here is for Kei to enjoy himself. As long as he accomplishes that, he'll be pleased.
He sends Yamaguchi a text confirming that they're ready, as some of Kei's friends start arriving; members of his university team, and those Kei knows from high school who could make it out to Tokyo. The former Ouran Host Club is there too, of course, as they'd been recruited to help Kaoru put this all together. Guests are milling out, laughing, making conversation, even starting on the snacks and appetizers, while they wait for the birthday boy's arrival.
