Hi! Yeah, thankfully. Everything is back to normal, it looks like!
How about you, did you make it through okay?

I'm fine! What about you?

[She actually has some Pressing Questions but it feels rude to just come out with them right away.]

[ Aw, how cute and polite... a good girl. ]

Good! I made it to work okay after I got an RC car.

that sounds really cool! I hadn't thought of using toy cars to get around.

[She just tried to use her cat...and that worked out about as well as you'd expect.]

Yeah, I came up with the idea after the bus didn't really work out.

Don't take the bus, by the way, it's really dangerous.

[ he almost... died... ]

really? Σ(゜ロ゜;)

I'll have to tell my uncle that too...

Yeah... the ramps are very steep... they don't wait long.
It was a mistake.

I'm glad you made it out all right though!

[Okay. Maybe it was time to stop beating around the bush...]

so everything's back to normal so maybe we can have lunch?

[And she sends the message before she could second guess herself and WHAT DID SHE JUST DO? Was that too blunt???]

[ Shh, it's okay, child. Kiryu's done much worse. ]

Sure! That'd be great.

great! I can't wait!

[But also...]

can I ask you a question?

Of course. What's up?

have father and I ever met?

[ Well that's a doozy right off the bat, huh. ]

I'm not sure. I only found out about you around the time dad went to jail.

he's in JAIL?

for what? Is he okay> when did this happen???

Oh! You didn't know? Crap, I'm so sorry, this isn't the way to explain everything. He's fine. It was for tax evasion and some fraud charges. He'll be out in a few years.

This isn't something we should do over text. Let's meet right now, are you available? I can drive down.

No one's ever told me anything about him.

I'm free.

[Just also very, very alarmed. WHY DID NO ONE TELL HER HER DAD WAS IN JAIL?]

Ah... I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I would have thought someone would have told you.

[ Why is your dad awful... ]

Ok, we can meet at a park or something, I'll explain everything I can.

okay. a park sounds good. which one did you want to meet at?

I'll text you the address.

[ It's just one in Tisse? He doesn't want this to be sketchy but also... meeting a girl in private would make him be the sketchy one... ]

got it. I'll see you there!

[And she makes an effort to get there ASAP, because she doesn't want to be late and give a bad first impression by being late! She was at home though so it isn't as close as she'd have liked so even though she pretty much runs the whole way there it'll take her a bit. She's breathing hard when she makes it to the park but she knows exertion isn't the only reason her heart is beating so hard.

She takes a deep breath then walks into the park proper.]

[ Ah, Kaz should have planned that better. He forgets most people (kids, Kaz. Kids.) don't have cars but the park was closer to his place than hers. In any case, he walks down to the park much less briskly, but fairly quickly nonetheless. He's already there by the time Yuuri runs up, so he waves at her when he spots her. ]

Hey. Sorry, I didn't think... I should have asked which park was closest to you. I can drive you home if you want, I live just down the street.

It's okay! I don't really mind! [She smiles.] After all, walking is good for you, right?

[Okay but...he's really here. That's so strange it's almost surreal. All this time she'd always imagined this happening but she'd always assumed it'd never happen.

Even though she's talked to him before, even though she'd sent him cat picture and knew his name it suddenly felt like a dream.

She blanks out for a moment and so she defaults to old habits.

She bows.]

It's nice to meet you.

[ Oh. Bowing. That. Is a thing people do in Japan. Kaz can't help it, he bows his head too. It seems right. It's strange meeting a sister you'd only heard about from bad days in court or visits to his father, but Yuuri seems like a good girl. She's his sister, but it's a thought he hadn't made real until their moment, either. ]

Same here. Sorry it took so long.

[She straightens slowly, almost shyly.] That's okay. It sounds like you had stuff to worry about here too.

Yeah, things have been... hectic this month.

[ Between regaining muscles, weird memories and everything else, he hasn't had all that much time to slow down and make time for other things. Though that's hardly an excuse if you ask him. ]

But it's been good. [ He nods to himself, mostly trying to keep the subject off himself. They're here for her, after all. ]

I'm sure you have questions about our dad. I'll try to answer what I can.
