Tsukki packed up his laptop and changed into his school uniform. He stared down at Yamaguchi who gently snored into the dinosaur blanket. Drool slipped down his chin, making him look like a child. He sighed as he walked out the room and straight into a smaller woman.

"Kei?" Tsukki looked down to see Ms. Yamaguchi.

"Good morning Yamaguchi-San." Tsukki bowed and straightened back up.

"How's Tadashi?" She asked looking down at her phone.

Tsukki frowned as she looked like she didn't care. He couldn't ignore her however. "Good. He's asleep right now. If you excuse me, I must get to school."

She sighed and looked up. "Kei. Take care of him? He trusts you and I know he can't say the same about me."

"If you don't mind me asking... where are you going?"

"I can't visit hospitals. I'm sure Tadashi has a fear of them too, seeing his father die here years ago. I can't watch my son do the same, so I'm not coming back." She responded, wiping a loose tear and walking off.

Oh...
