Yo! Aah, this is unfortunate... Well, this and that came up, so it seems I can't answer the phone right now! I'm definitely not trying to ignore you, so please leave a message for me instead, ＯＫ?

[Some time after meeting Ayumu on that post, Miyako waited before she type up a message.]

Mizushiro, are you available? There is something I would like to discuss.

[Text]

[bondsofsuffering]

Miyako-chan? Asking to meet with me? What could this be about?

Ah, I know! You've finally fallen for me, haven't you?

[Yes, that's definitely it Hizumi.]

[Text]

[capitalbackup]

[Yeah, no.]

It's nothing of the sort. It's a topic I prefer to speak to you in person about.

[Text]

[bondsofsuffering]

Uwah. Serious as always.

Did you have a particular time or place you wanted to meet?

[Text]

[capitalbackup]

My apartment. If you are available right now, we can meet within an hour.

[Text]

[bondsofsuffering]

I've got some stuff to clean up. I'll be there in about a half hour, if that's okay with you.

[Text]

[capitalbackup]

That would be fine. I'll be waiting.

[bondsofsuffering]

Alright, see you then.]

[And as promised, Miyako will hear her doorbell buzz to announce his arrival in about a half hour.]

[Action]

[capitalbackup]

[It doesn't take her very long to answer the door. Miyako opens the door and see Hizumi there.]

Hello, Mizushiro.

[Action]

[bondsofsuffering]

Yo! You called?

[Action]

[capitalbackup]

I did.

[Like not that long ago.

She moves, giving him space to enter her apartment.]

Come in.

[Action]

[bondsofsuffering]

[And he'll go ahead and enter!]

So what was it you wanted to talk about?

[His voice is innocent, even though he already can guess the answer.]

[Action]

[capitalbackup]

[She close the door behind him, before turning her attention back to Hizumi.]

It's about Yaiba Mizushiro.

[Action]

[bondsofsuffering]

Ah! So you met my brother after all?

[Were you expecting him to look bothered? Because he's not in the slightest.

...Well, okay, more like he's slightly annoyed, but he's not about to let it show.]

Re: [Action]

[capitalbackup]

That's right.

How old was he when you were born?

[Action]

[bondsofsuffering]

I think the gap between was something like thirty years? It was pretty crazy.

[Action]

[capitalbackup]

Thirty years apart and from the same set of parents, correct?

[Did their parents use some fertility aid, or there's some advanced science going on.]

[Action]

[bondsofsuffering]

[He nods.]

I'm told we have the same face... It would be weird if we weren't, wouldn't it?

[Action]

[capitalbackup]

Wouldn't that make your parents rather old?

[Sure, it's possible. But unlikely...plus, you know, risks and such depending on his mother's age and body.]

[Action]

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, probably? I wasn't actually raised by them. My biological parents, anyway.

[Action]

[capitalbackup]

Oh?

[One hand, that's normally none of her business. Or rather, why should she care?

On the other hand, wow, Hizumi keeps on piling them suspicions.]

[Action]

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, like you said, my parents are probably really old. My brother raised me at first, but after he died, I got turned over to a younger couple who worked with him. They wanted to help my family however they could, so they adopted me and treated me like their own kid.
