[ So if you're wandering by Apartment M tonight you smell multiple somethings that are really damn good. Most of it smells spicy but, details!

A girl seems to be finishing up the last of a lot of food. ]

...I just dedicate this to Hok, right? Um, that's how these work?

[ love is over just. starts crying. A LOT. ]

[D...DOESN'T REMOVE HIS HAND but turns to Kaori]

I'm sorry, but... Maybe you should leave for now.

She's just going to get worse if I leave right now, you know. Natsume, come here.

[ Rubs her face, blinking up at Kaori-- and, with a hesitating glance at Chrono, shakily pulls away from him and wanders over to Kaori.

And promptly collapses against her, clinging tightly. ]

[THIS ISN'T AWKWARD AT ALL

It's okay, I'll... wait...]

[ Holds her, stroking her hair soothingly. ]

What's your name, boy?

Er... it's Chrono.

Have you been taking care of her here?

I... wouldn't really put it that way.

Watching over her, then. Thank you.

My name is Kaori. I'm her mother, if you hadn't already guessed.

[Glancing at Natsume 8(]

I'd guessed something along those lines, yes...

[ Gently prying Natsume off of her. ]

Sweetie... it's time to stop crying now. Can you do that for me? Try.

[ Lets herself be moved back, desperately trying to scrub at her red face, sniffling and hiccuping. ]

I-I-I'm s-sorry, I-I just-- you sh-shouldn't be here--

[:X Just watches the Natsume tamer]

Shhh. We got to see each other again, right? Even if we're not where we're supposed to be, you're in a good place, with friends?

It's okay. Don't think about before, love, if that helps you. Concentrate on now.

[ buubuuuuuhhhhh slowly stops blubbering, resigning to sniffles. ]

Y-yes-- I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

[... Wow, it's. Working.]

[ This is what we like to call delaying the inevitable. Or just suppression.

Ruffles Natsume's hair and kisses her forehead. ]

So come on. If you need to cry more later you can come find me again, alright? If you were doing something nice for your friends you should keep doing it.

[ Smiles a little, shaky. ]

A-alright... You'll definitely be here, right? ...Thank you.

[ ...glancing at chrono... 8(;;; ]

...I-I'm sorry about this...

... Do you remember what I told you a few minutes ago?

[ ...sob '__' ]

...Okay.

...

On that note, you're pretty cute, Chrono.

[COME AGAIN]

... Sorry?

I said, you're cute. Attractive?

...Mom.

Mother.
