-I didn't get a single minute of sleep last night.I NEED SLEEP!
438Please respect copyright.PENANAN58Q8tcNh5
Tadashi's face is covered by Natsuko's foot,he gently pushes it away.On the other hand,Natsuko is peacefully sleeping in the bed.Tadashi looks over to an alarm clock on the table showing 8:12 am.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZhkoNZSEp
-This girl came into my room saying she couldn't sleep alone in the other room.I thought it would be fine to let her sleep with me.(yawns) I couldn't sleep all night because she kept kicking me.
438Please respect copyright.PENANARvifRs2tiL
Tadashi gets up and pulls back the curtains and opens the window.
Sunlight pours into the room as and as it hits Natsuko in the face,she rolls to the other side of the bed. She obviously didn't want to be bothered.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAQthczxl66G
"(Yawns)Natsukooo...time to wake up."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA7dCvwXMpbL
He says this as he gently shakes her shoulder..
438Please respect copyright.PENANAHvUa4V2sYk
"Mmm....Later.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAC4j5zfYg1k
Saying this sleepily,she pulls the blanket up from her feet and covers her head.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA0EeibLIQZZ
"Oi,Don't be so lazy,it's already late.wake up Natsuko."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAawhpUQrdTf

438Please respect copyright.PENANAs1XwSSMw0H
"Natsuko,it's not good to sleep late."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAXqIIrv0BGo
"Mmmmm.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANA2D1ux9tqBU
She babbles something
438Please respect copyright.PENANAxrSnvG3eFw
"Eh,Natsuko,wake up, I'll buy you anything u want if you're obedient."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAvN6xAZSRVK
"Papa is lying.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANA8IBmTozqdA
-This brat knows..
438Please respect copyright.PENANAxKurin9TNO
Feeling helpless,he turns to a very common strategy-shouting at them until they wake up.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAyRlLAlI51t
"NATSUKO!!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP."
438Please respect copyright.PENANASMRxFUFYKS
She is startled and immediately wakes up to look around for signs of trouble.
438Please respect copyright.PENANASzRRMPdl1f
"Papa! What happened?.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAJg0N35vAdl
"You woke up at last,huh?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAeN5Fza6f4h
Realising that she woke up for no reason,she looks at him annoyed.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAe7ls0Ko6L5
"Papa is very noisy.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANADe2VZ7aZof
"Yeh yeh, I hear that a lot,let's go washup."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA1Btq4YqfJp
"But I wanted to sleep more....~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAqgcTQ8v6YO

438Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yn9IMmImQ
"Hey hey,don't say that.Kids of your age are supposed to be energetic."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA2365uNwNMt
"Papa,I'm not a child.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAWxsCY0cWZa
"That's no excuse.Come,let's go."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAgdQo9E7B4h
Tadashi could be heard running around and shouting from inside the washroom as Natsuko continues to make a mess everywhere due to her carelessness. As they exit, Tadashi collapses on the floor, a defeated expression on his face.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA2NuwbAc5P4
"That is hard,this is harder than anything I've ever done."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAP9XbzLQEqr
"Papa weak.~"

438Please respect copyright.PENANA1PNkm79Kw2
"Papa,I'm hungry.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAp7KnOn4VKR
Natsuko's stomach growls and it is followed by Tadashi's stomach growling.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAgERzTDNCXf
"I'm hungry myself too.Let's go, I'll make breakfast."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAkH1AHh2NjQ
"Make?~"
Natsuko looks at him,It's like she wasn't used to hearing that.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAGHvVz4SUrL
"Yes, breakfast isn't made by itself."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0oJNSPEDV
"Mama makes it for us there,mama makes very delicious food.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUIN8Cm4QAb
She enthusiastically praises her mother's cooking.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAbywAuG0s1y
"Nice to hear that,but there's no mama here,so we gotta make it ourselves."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAQRIfmNP0f7
"Okay papa~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAM3U9CfMbVj
"Um Natsuko,have you brought anything ..from the future that can make food by itself? Like a magic tablecloth."
438Please respect copyright.PENANACKKa5Hwh25
Tadashi points at her little bag saying this which makes her rant saying that she wasn't a blue cat with gadgets to which Tadashi laughs saying that he was just kidding with her.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUdzW8FS9F2
They head downstairs to prepare breakfast.Natsuko climbs up to the chair and settles down while he inspects what's inside in his fridge.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA8qkUbkxF3y
"Natsuko,what would you like to eat?"

438Please respect copyright.PENANARvLFzc1gBA
After a short while, they get dressed and are at the doorway putting on their shoes.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAVP9pX7zIIq
"Ok Natsuko,before we go, I'd like to explain some rules to you."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAgnLAkYUicI

He shouts at her
438Please respect copyright.PENANA89M0VP2io8

438Please respect copyright.PENANA40zREngv5w
"What do u want then?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAhAQ5Ok9osd
"BURGER!~"

438Please respect copyright.PENANAnMkUW7P3t2
"I thought kids of your age like things that are sweet."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUFFwMhRkM0
"Natsuko is different,mama says Natsuko is special."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA2CmmYvxNl9
"Yeah,yeah,enough compliments...Let's go now."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA0NjryzMys4

438Please respect copyright.PENANAQuSA6MtHeU
They reach school and Yui looks up to see some big school buildings.Tadashi's school was considered one of the best in the state and everything there looked perfectly placed.The school had a big compound with some few big buildings in the center,one which included an old abundant building which was once the main school building.
438Please respect copyright.PENANApQLVIu5t5z
"Papa,where are we?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANASxN2kInMH4
"The school! I need to practice for the upcoming interschool sports week!"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAWtXwDghwIC
Tadashi was enthusiastic about it and Natsuko could hear it in his tone.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA3QDGk4czZ8
"Why is it empty then?~"
She looks around but sees none around.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAMnN63oHZLg
"Well,it's a Saturday....The only students here are the ones who have club activities."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAD8CiHZ7t6Y
"Okay.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAPReDYec52s
"By the way,Natsuko...Do I play for any big events in future?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAVyxu6nh8S8
"Papa always goes to the office.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANANF7ePTLdQs
"So I'm just a simple office man then."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAf2KbEC9Zln
Natsuko tells him that he would always say that he's busy and never made time to play with her...He is disappointed in himself and apologizes to her and promises her to do better in the future.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAoDrtB6TduI
"Papa,It's okay.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUrlTjUGCK4
As he considers what he has said,Tadashi turns to face her to make up for the future.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAjmq80psaFy
"Natsuko,let's play when we're back home today."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAqjJfvawvG5

438Please respect copyright.PENANACy6oKTwMRO
"Really?~"

438Please respect copyright.PENANAJYUUeNneI2
"Of course,let's play a lot."
Natsuko gives her a head pat.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAvZHppKaPzU
"Thank you.~"
She hugs him in delight.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA4EQmPXD1gd
As they're having a conversation,Tadashi hears someone call out to him.He sees a guy waving at him coming towards them along with a girl.They seem to be his friends.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA5wrtt2p3PR
"Papa,who are they?~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAmnL9OZ7E5S
"They're my friends."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAWbJ4uceGFP
He tells Natsuko to remember the rules as his friends approach.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA0WsC7NJytW
"Akigo,Misaki,good morning."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA2qAEyRhYI2
They wish him back.
438Please respect copyright.PENANABmt9Ke97o3
Misaki sees Natsuko and asks Tadashi who the little girl was.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAHPaQPGyq4d
"Yes,who's she?."
Akigo points at her.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAIyd1zbnuDG
Natsuko walks closer to them and gracefully introduces herself.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAfXBpcdXPHd
"Sooo cutee, she's soo adorable."
Misaki says this as both she and Akigo awws in unison.
438Please respect copyright.PENANADVPOELNu8K
Misaki tries to make Natsuko comfortable with them by lowering down to her and then she introduces herself.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA25gbXgbwd5
"Natsuko, hello there I'm Misaki and he's Akigo, we're very close friends of Tadashi, you can call me elder sister and you can call that guy an idiot."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAMbor5vQsRb
"Hey!! Why am I called an idiot?"
Akigo shouts at Misaki after hearing that.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAKkcdjER8tj
"I wasn't wrong tho."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA3DSkN3NWsK
"Why you!"
438Please respect copyright.PENANA5fKmUrZ4A6
Natsuko sees them shouting a lot and now understands why her father frequently shouts.
438Please respect copyright.PENANApUCbm10fO1
"Tadashi, I thought you wouldn't come." Akigo exclaims.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA9m8dcBLIlG
"You sound like you don't want me here,Akigo."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAHm0czC3wTl
Misaki pinches Tadashi on the arm as he says that.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA4ERsaDBUpT
"Ouch,Misaki,why?" Tadashi cries in pain.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAA8OtqJdIT1
"Hey hey,let's not argue here."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1mSZPnI89
"Akigo started it though!"
Tadashi tries to reason with her.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAyrZ7avyaAd
--oh.I haven't introduced them to you guys,
Aight,let's start with my childhood friend Gushiken Akigo.
When you see him shouting at anyone,don't worry,he's not angry or anything, it's his natural tone.He's usually a fun person excluding the fact that he asks a lot of useless questions.Physically,he's very handsome and matured looking and is very talked about from the girls who like him.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAAZXxpbgQLf
"Tadashi, why didn't you tell us you had relatives coming over?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAsGz7twiTiY
"It was a surprise visit, she just came alone last night."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAay9ymcBZAr
"Alone?!"
438Please respect copyright.PENANApjTXVlkOiF
The idea of a young girl being sent off by herself appears to have annoyed Misaki.He makes up something to calm her down.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAqfJtITU0NO
-This girl here is Minamoto Misaki.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAWCw9CaM4EL
She's also a childhood friend of mine and Akigo.She's quite the hothead and is considered a beauty,she would have been the perfect girl if not for the fact that I feel like she literally loves hitting me and Akigo.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA4XBJ4dOkPq
"Tadashi,you know how happy I am to see you."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA2kMAFmOlxM
"You're acting like it's been years,we saw each other yesterday."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAeX5On6o3Qh
"Don't say that,a true friendship contains missing each other."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA5JZe9K6UO8
Akigo taps Tadashi's shoulder and winks while saying that.Tadashi shivers at the sight.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAp3nRqfdrjn
"Akigo,you sure you're not into that?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAP7aO3mx4dI
"Noo,noo I didn't mean that!"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAC8wXBf9igU
Akigo sees Tadashi has a grin on his face after saying that.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA6A9yjBb8gZ
"I'm speaking the truth!Misaki,say something!"
Akigo tries to get Misaki to help him.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAYfHyaJj95j
"What am I even suppose to say here? Aren't you into that?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANANYDKu73ZYo
They all seem to be against him.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAEeKnsnOG0Z
"If caring for a friend is considered that,then I shall accept it!"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAsWWUUMajT6
Akigo tries to sound cool while saying that.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAdB9Zb0cfee
"That's making it worse,please shut up."
Tadashi and Misaki speak in unison while looking creeped out by him.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA2uiIMcO5t3
"Papa, I'm bored."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUd6MWl5iIQ
Akigo and Misaki both turn their gaze at Tadashi after hearing Natsuko calling him papa.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUGNkat49yV
-Oh my!! this girl! Did she forget?!
438Please respect copyright.PENANAyfPl8Zhbcf
"Oi Tadashi, why is she calling you papa?." Misaki leers at Tadashi.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAgAVBAX8XJt
"She likes to play around.Hahaha
,right Natsuko?"
Tadashi laughs strangely as he feels the nervousness take over him.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAmAkErcO4AZ
"Yes..Papa's right!"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAGjmyuNNWlk
-Oi oi oi,are you doing this on purpose??
438Please respect copyright.PENANA9jNxOGyXUq
"She said it again!"
Misaki says it out loud, pointing to Tadashi.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAN7IQpkLSQ0
Akigo is perplexed by what is happening (he is lost)
438Please respect copyright.PENANA023zUhJrnB
"Misaki,you're overreacting."
Tadashi spews anything that comes to his mind at the moment
438Please respect copyright.PENANAnP0XuVEOgJ
"What do you mean by that?"
Misaki looks at him, unconvinced by what he had said.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAMGuxd7rnjL
"Natsuko...she lost her dad soon after she was born,I've been with her a lot of times as I usually go to her place,that's why she calls me that."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAls4gX0w9VN
Misaki seems convinced and then pads Tadashi's shoulder saying she was proud of him while blowing her nose with a tissue, feeling emotional.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAeKiCFUJIuO
-holyyy!! That was close...
438Please respect copyright.PENANAKED42vGWYG
According to Akigo,he had already understood that it wasn't a significant issue. Both Tadashi and Misaki express their surprise that he realized this. He tries to convince them that he is quite smart, but they simply ignore him and carry on with their conversation.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAEAcfl88uAv
After a while,Misaki looks at them and sighs after realising that they had brought nothing.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAzAeqLVFv5g
"Oh,Tadashi,Akigo,did you guys forget to bring your sports kit?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Fwt6ftO8
They both 'ooh' and Tadashi turns to Akigo asking him where the sports kit were.Akigo tells him that they're at his place.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAIpCqqwfpt6
"Eeh,I entrusted it to you yesterday, you said you'd bring it."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAbKJAmiKVLA
Akigo folds his hands and apologies before running back home to get it.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAD8u3ZAHJKl
"Ok ok,I'll wait for you here with Misaki and Natsuko."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAmDgGfQCViA
Misaki then tells him that she was going out shopping.She would visit his place later and asks him if she could take Natsuko with her.Tadashi thinks it's a great idea since she was a responsible girl and Natsuko would enjoy it with her.
438Please respect copyright.PENANArLCrdDaSEb
"Natsuko,what do you say?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANA7ftZmWPdMG
Natsuko says that she only wanted to stay with him and so, Misaki tries a different approach.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAiOw5k0IT4k
"Natsuko,let's buy lots of clothes for you."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAkTSwR3GfG3
Natsuko doesn't seem to be interested and so misaki tries different approaches but it results in nothing new.She finally asks what Natsuko wants to get.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAWoqShbE6Hq
"Burger."
Natsuko simply says.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAm3VQ1xHpwx
"Burger?"
Misaki was quite surprised to hear that and tries to confirm what she has just heard.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA3fiX7AVzvk
"Yes,she seems to love burgers more than anything."
Tadashi clears Misaki's question.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAzp59OtjEyp
"Your elder sister will buy you lots of burgers then."
438Please respect copyright.PENANATEZqCiHslL
Natsuko runs to Misaki's side as she hears that.Tadashi sighs at the thought of how little it takes to make Natsuko happy.As Misaki is about to leave,Natsuko runs to Tadashi and tells him to bend down to hear her,she whispers something and goes back to Misaki and leaves.
438Please respect copyright.PENANALqJyMk1Ro3
As he yawns,he decides to go wash his face to freshen himself.As he dried his face with a towel,he notices the old building and decides to check it since there's none to scold him and Akigo still had time to return.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAtDlC82DK9a
He explores the rooms and the things on the ground floor and decides to check the other floors too.He reaches the top floor but doesn't see or feel anything unusual,he now starts to find it boring.
438Please respect copyright.PENANArZgIkLxiOg
"I expected something unusual to happen like in those movies,reality is quite boring."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA0h9gzxAAG1
He walks down the steps and feels his phone vibrate.He takes it out to check it but it slips from his grasp and he tries to catch it when he missteps and goes rolling down the stairs and only comes to a halt when he hits a wall.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAAGMg1F7KRN
"Arghhh,what the! Arghhhh!"
438Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q7QMNKSvu
He tries to walk but gives up as he could hardly stand.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA7RvUDsrwYD
"Arghhh this is bad! I can't seem to walk!"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAPiGviRmQu3
-So much for practice,huh?... This is bad,I'm bleeding from my arm and hand.I think I hit the edge of some old staircase,the cuts look bad...
438Please respect copyright.PENANAOVDrtlKFy0
He soon starts to feel dizzy.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAxEkoJ4fCy9
"I can't fall unconscious here."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAwrYu8YgCaF
He tries to walk with the support of the wall but falls unconscious.When he comes back to his senses,he hears a girl's worried voice talking to him,but due to his current state,he has trouble comprehending it.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAoSCJxOSKtQ
-what happened? Did I pass out?
438Please respect copyright.PENANAuST3rvp7YT
"Please don't move a lot,you'll open the wounds.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAHKjL0p2nqZ
He sees a girl tending to his wounds.She was a young woman with black hair that was around shoulder length and the thing that stood out was a scar that covered part of her face. He looks at the bandages on his arms and hands and figures out that she had helped him from bleeding out when he was unconscious.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAhL8aiUbdga
"Umm ...Yamada,thank you for doing this."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAGF1TL1iskH
"It's fine,don't worry about it.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAbrLPihpHmd
She ties the last bandage to his arm.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA0OlkOyu9Br
"This will do it, we only have to wait for your friend now."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAPyhAASnfxf
Saying this,she closes her first aid kit and sits down next to him,feeling exhausted.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAcBNHU7XlSd
"Thank you a lot."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAznTeLNQBKE
"Like I said..it's fine.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAe4qiucVyRM
She tells him to stop thanking her since it was nothing special.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAhWfGBomRrC
As they wait for the Akigo to arrive.They hear Akigo's voice call out his name.They then hear something fall with Akigo screaming and the voice stops.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAe5ZQqD7tme
"What was that?~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAxP5kM9SWU0
Natsuko seems concerned and stands up to go check it.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAl4ftbmIL7Z
-I'm sure he fell down.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAWBDaMGM6ol
"Nothing,it must be your imagination."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAYUE4svBHzt
"Ok.~"
438Please respect copyright.PENANA6sDEdz4ezS
She sits down again.

438Please respect copyright.PENANAzaBdtUGSwY
"Natsuko,what are you writing?"

438Please respect copyright.PENANAoS99QIyNUi
"Eeeeh, it's Mama's diary."

438Please respect copyright.PENANAGDWPOHwkfo
"Wait so this book knows the future?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAZsIK8MGMoP

"No! It will harm papa's future."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAx3e65BaXvg
"But you're here to help me,right?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAxmCk9bqRn8
Natsuko tells him that she can only help with things that her father will regret in the future, and that he will have to do the rest on his own without knowing what is about to happen.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAGBfU2g14a7
"True but you could have at least warned me about today right?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAAHUklp4LBs
"Natsuko told you to watch out, papa forgets easily."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAP0zQt1RIq9
"Oh that's what you meant by that.Now I understand why you weren't worried."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZcANk8Cji

438Please respect copyright.PENANAE4bGjKhzex

"Yui Asato."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAb5iHTTmQvn
-it's her!!! It's Yamada !!!
438Please respect copyright.PENANAcN7YBwpq0N

438Please respect copyright.PENANAuUVEQjvyOj
"Papa,what happened?"
438Please respect copyright.PENANADuaY0gbWqx

"Hehe, Papa is in L-O-V-E."

438Please respect copyright.PENANAm9PZjOCJXF
"Hey hey,you're too young to be saying that."
He tries parenting her but seems to be failing at it.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAdAcfkfDKjN
"Papa L-O-V-E!"
438Please respect copyright.PENANAmOniaK2v99
He pursues her playfully while limping a bit while she circles the room yelling that. When Misaki enters, she rubs her knuckles on Tadashi's head and asks him why he's playing rather than relaxing.He apologizes and then,Akigo comes in saying that he couldn't concentrate on his card castle because of their shouting and it fell again.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gl0yPXliO
"Huh? You couldn't do it even if the cards were glued together."
Misaki taunts Akigo
438Please respect copyright.PENANAEOGmuIu65b
"Damn you! You don't know how much creativity and time it takes to make one! A single castle takes ages!"
Akigo replies to Misaki's remark
438Please respect copyright.PENANAk2Vd5ulaYS
"I could make an entire house of cards by the time you put 2 cards up!"
Misaki taunts Akigo again.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAf0RdG3AWf2
They begin to argue, and Tadashi attempts to calm them down. He then laughs thinking about how much they argued unnecessarily,Akigo and Misaki stop and laugh thinking about it too.

438Please respect copyright.PENANApurhjzCGKg
"Eeh,I thought my friend finally had his eyes set on a nice girl."
438Please respect copyright.PENANA34H4g0FqER
"No,you're expecting too much from me."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAbako1m8qw4
"I do think she's nice,maybe she's someone who likes to keep things in her heart,that's why other students have a hard time talking to her...but whatever the reason,she saved my best friend and I can't thank her enough."
438Please respect copyright.PENANARgoobidi09
"Here you go with the emotional lines again."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAVRDzo5SjSy

438Please respect copyright.PENANADW01z1A4nx
"Who?"

"Well,I'm sleepy,goodnight Tadashi."
438Please respect copyright.PENANAoxSy3Hpijn
