Michiyo finished writing and she passed the sheet to Samon.

"I finished!" 

"Oh? Let's see then." Samon checked the Kanji she had written and he seemed happy with it. "Only a few minor mistakes but you're doing well." Samon put a bowl of what looked like candies wrapped in a white wrapper with strips of blue on the ends. There was a logo of a white rabbit on the wrapper. "Try it, it's White Rabbit candy." 

She helped herself to a candy and she put it into her mouth after unwrapping it. "Hmm~. It's so good~ are they all the same flavor?" 

"There are, but I prefer the original milk flavor." 

Michiyo came over to Building 5 to play but the plans changed when the inmates from the said building were all taking their physical exams and won't be back until everything was done and dusted. She got bored of waiting so she sneaked into the courtyard to kill time but Samon decided she should do something productive so he started teaching her how to write things in Chinese. 

There's a Simplified style of writing as well as Traditional way. Samon knew both ways so he was teaching her Traditional style of writing since Michiyo said she was Chinese from Hong Kong...at least that's what she remember.

"You know you're not supposed to be in the courtyard. You can't keep sneaking in here" Samon was waiting for an explanation from her and he wasn't going to go unless he got one. He may treat her nicely with snacks and such but that doesn't mean he has forgotten his duty as guard.

"I came here because the view is nice, and you're offering free snacks." 

"You cheeky brat. If someone notices you, you'll be in trouble."

"It's fine, Inori-san is the only guard here and we all know he does no guarding." 

"Goddammit..." Samon's palm was against his face; great, now even an inmate from another building know of Inori's incompetence when it came to work. 

"Samon-san, why are you here?" 

"Someone needs to make sure you're not here on your own! I can't trust Inori so I'm here." Samon glanced at her to see she was smiling and holding her pointer out for a butterfly to land on it. "You seem a lot happier." 

"I do?" 

"Yeah. The look in your eyes were very cold, even the air around you were cold. Now you have warm eyes. You should stay this way, it suits you more." 

Michiyo understood why she was a lot happier; it's because she's here in Nanba Prison. She once watched a police drama with the saying 'Sometimes prison is the next best thing for a criminal' to be nothing but a lie but she could believe it a little now. The inmates, and also...

"Samon-san, you're okay too." 

"Huh?" 

"Nope! You didn't hear it so you don't get to listen!" 

"Oi, I want to know what you just said! You said my name!" 

"No!" Michiyo got up and she decided to run away. 

"Oi! What did I say about running?! This is a no running area! Get back here now!" Samon got up from the grass and he started to chase after her, "Stop! I command you to stop! you still haven't corrected your mistakes!" 

"Like hell I'd stop for that!" 

Because Samon had a meeting later on about the reports of Building 5, he made sure to send Michiyo back onto the tram carriage back to Building 13 before he does so.
