Oh?

<You back, Enanan? Hope school went okay.>

<Yeah, I'm back.

Oh, Yuki, you're also here...>

<Hello...>

<K's taking a bath right now.>

<Right. My mom should also be done with hers soon, so... Achoo!>

<Achoo...? Your sneeze is so cute, Enanan.>

<Shut it. I tried my best to make sure my mic didn't pick it up.>

<Haha. I know.

Still, did you catch a cold or something?>

<Dunno. It did rain on my way to school...>

<Oh, I got rained on too.

It even started thundering while I was walking.>

<I decided to pop into a convenience store after getting a little scared, but then I got cold. I dove in the bathtub the second I got home.>

<I'm guessing you also got pretty soaked, Yuki, since there weren't many places for you to take shelter. Are you dry and warm now?>

<I haven't taken a bath yet, but I did dry my hair...>

<Right.>

<Wait, did you two walk home together...?>

<Yeah, I just happened to be in the neighborhood today.>

<Also, question.

If you're faced with surprise showers again like we were today, would you go and buy an umbrella?>

<Hmm... Probably not if I knew that it would let up after waiting a bit. Seems like a waste of money.>

<I'd probably take shelter or run home.>

<I know what you mean. Buying an umbrella would be my last resort. What about you, Yuki?>

<I'd also probably head home without buying one.>

<I knew you'd say that!>

<Oh, what about while you're taking shelter from the rain? Is there anything you normally do then?>

<Huh? What do you mean?>

<For example, instead of buying an umbrella, you head to a cafe or a fast food joint to wait out the rain! I mean, it's cheaper, no?>

<Oh, that's what you meant.>

<I don't do much in particular...>

<Same here. But this one cafe I went in during a rainstorm had this amazing cake. I felt pretty lucky that time.>

<Oh, that is pretty lucky!>

<Welcome back.>

<I'm back.>

<Welcome back, K.>

<Oh, Enanan, welcome back.>

<You came back at just the right time!>

<K, would you buy an umbrella if it suddenly started raining? Would you take shelter? Or would you run home?>

<Wait, is this some sort of personality test...?>

<No, I'm just curious.>

<If I'm carrying something that shouldn't get wet, then I might buy one. Otherwise, I'd probably end up looking for shelter...>

<What about running home?>

<Huh? That sounds really tiring, so I probably wouldn't...>

<Yeah, taking shelter is probably the best option if you're not pressed for time or anything. I mean, there was thunder today.>

<Oh, really?>

<Wait, did you not hear it?>

<No, we did. It felt very close...>

<Huh? Really?>

<Oh, I was working while I had my headphones on, so that may be why I didn't hear anything...>

<There were flashes of lightning...

But I guess it just means you were that focused.>

<It is like you to not notice, K...

But what if it was a fire instead? What if you didn't realize until it was too late?>

<What...?

Yes, that is a bit scary...>

<Haha...>

<Umm... Anyway, since we're all here now, why don't we get to work?>

<Okay!>

<Okay.>
