"Hey, Shin" a man with average height that had slightly feminine features with his hair dyed with the colors of purple and blond, beautifully stripped patterned that was well suited with his lilac eyes, still looking downturned in every aspect on what he does. No matter what expression he gives, his eyes will always be the same, which is attractive to most people.

He was there sitting comfortably on the couch in front of Shinichiro and a man with a tall and slender frame, and a slicked-back mullet in black and blond hair. He has a prominent scar running vertically down the right side of his face, from his brow to the rightmost corner of his thin lips that seemed that it would never fade on how deep the scar pained the man. It was probably caused in fighting that he had earned such a scar. The dual haired man grabbed Shinichiro's attention immediately as he gaze on the thundering clouds outside of the traditional home of Akashi Takeomi. Three kids near the age of the children stuck in the apartment was playing obnoxiously around Takeomi's brother's room. Imaushi Wakasa, the one who had feminine features just came by from the apartment Shinichiro requested him to go.

Rather than being requested, he was somehow forced by him to deliver the picture frame that Emma made when he knew that the man can just deliver him himself. Not ordering his friend instead. Shinichiro only looked at him not giving him a response, Wakasa continued. "Who are they, Shin?" His question made Takeomi arch a brow in confusion. Besides his younger brother's friend and Takeomi's younger siblings who knew each other due to their brothers being childhood friends, he never knew that there were another kids that he was taking care of.

Well Shinichiro never told them ever since they arrived at Shibuya, in his hometown.

"Someone asked me to take care of them, while they're away" Shinichiro spoke as vague as he can, after a few minutes of silence in between them. Shinichiro was hesitant to tell the truth, thinking it wasn't the time yet. "Don't they have other relatives, Shin?" It was Takeomi's turn to ask as Wakasa looked at Shinichiro in turn.

Shinichiro could only shook his head no. When they were about to ask another question, Shinichiro jolted to his seat when they heard a loud thud on the children's room. They walked briskly towards the room, sliding its doors with much force which cause the kids startled. Shinichiro looked at the kids with concern plastered in his face, with the two males remained in stoicism as they glaced at the children. "What happened here, Manjiro?"

"Nothing Aniki, Senju tripped herself" he said, with visible sweat in his face as Haruchiyo a child with long beautiful eyelashes and rosy pink hair similar features with the young female 'tripped' herself quickly stood and gave Takeomi an apology, knowing that he might be reprimanded for not watching over to his younger sibling as the rain poured more harder than before. Albeit the gloomy weather, the atmosphere of the house was calm and joyous as the kids proceeded in their joyful ways that a child should indulge. Takeomi didn't argue any further to his younger sibling yet dismissed him with a nod with an unspoken scolding with a stare he held that was saying that Haruchiyo should be the example of his younger sibling as she was influenced with their masculine way of speaking.

It was always what Takeomi had been telling him in which pressured him with a burden of being a older brother to their youngest sibling as she follows them around when they play. She never had someone to play with a female near her age. Instead she was seen being with Haruchiyo and Manjiro since Takeomi is a matured man and also stood as a father figure when their father left them with their grandmother. Which resulted that Senju's way of speech is similar with the speech of her opposite gender. Referring herself as 'ore' rather than using 'atashi' or'watashi' to address herself as she is technically a female.

Shinichiro is relieved somehow that nothing grave had happened and thankfully that this incident had evaded any particular questions that is relevant to the migration of Haruko and (Y/n). Honestly, that girl was still shrouded with mystery as Haruko can almost be read like an open book. He wishes to know her more albeit knowing that she completely did not trust him. He is determined to earn her trust but he did not know how to please her. In which that was he was pondering before Wakasa started his questioning.
