An Façade of Normalcy

Chapter 6

He wakes up feeling fresh, though this time his body wasn't sore nor was something out of a tragedy, looking around, he yawns and stretching his body to remove the kinks in his body, he felt rested today. He looks around and changes his changes clothes to from sleepwear to something more appropriate, such as a shirt, seeing as he doesn't sleep with his shirt on.

As he walks out the room, he didn't realize there was something very different in the house, he didn't realize when he was moving across the house when he was very exhausted that time, though for all he walked there were many things that he didn't noticed such as the different bright colors, the different designs but there was something but he kept searching.

He didn't know why he was searching for something but the things here felt like it would fall, something was missing there. He didn't know why he was standing there but someone tapped him in the shoulder to break him out of the trance, he looks back to see Suika looking at him curiously,

"Hmm... What are you doing? Wandering around here, or is there something you're looking for?"

'Strange, though I don't think Suika was the type to sneak on people or stalk other people' He looks at her specifically her eyes, they seemed to have a natural color and horns?'

"Anyway, since you've already changed clothes... I've already prepared breakfast for both of us..." though for a moment Mapulon felt like a surge of emotion appeared beneath the eyes of Suika, though it was easily squashed with the look of concern

"Just talk, okay? I'm not the best at this sort of thing but don't let those feelings bottle up, you'll get tired doing that and when you finally let it out, you might hurt others in the process..."

Though with the awkward pause Suika added quickly, "Let's stop talking about this serious thing, we might as well eat breakfast!". As sudden the topic arrived, it disappeared as fast as it arrived, they arrive at the kitchen, there was food prepared and all the things, so he says, "Sorry about inconvenience you here, I wasn't expecting the test earlier, not that I was blaming you for any-"

Though the thoughts of politely denying those statements were vanquished for the empty stomach in hand, she looks at you with a grin and Mapulon simply nodded. Though he does plans for everything he has, for today he didn't and while searching for a topic at hand, almost all of them would ruin their appetite here,

They ate in piece, no one between them had any topic to talk about as they simple don't know much other than the connection from Marisa, but despite that the silence was comfortable between them, neither wanted to talk so they ate in piece.

With Mapulon who was someone who needed to plan to prepare despite there not being needed to, his brain kickstarted in searching a topic that both could relate, he sees the TV that was quite preserved despite showing news its volume was low,

"Where did you get the tv?" Mapulon asked curiously

"I bought that from a sale from someone I knew"

Though there were multitude of things he could say in order to keep the flow of conversation going, he felt like they better first rather than chat, with both of them hungry they ate breakfast quickly somehow keeping up table manners,

Breakfast was quite simple from rice and eggs, with coffee beside it, though it was quite plain it was delicious and fulfilling. He thanked Suika for housing him here despite just being acquaintances, though with all the things like going into a portal or sort of thing,

He simple squashed those feelings and simply asked, "Where are we at currently? Can you... return me back home?

"Sure... We're at Gensokyou, a place where illusion and logic doesn't work here most of the times"
