"Hai," he said. Eventually, he had it in himself to reach out and claim more snacks. He even found it necessary at some point to have something to drink, and the night continued as such. The next morning some time before school, Takumi was awake and ready, standing over the kitchen stove. In honor of Maiko's support over the course of his night, he'd seen to it that she was offered the comfort of his usual bed with fresh sheets, and now he plated two servings of eggs, pancakes, shredded hash and bacon strips, with both milk and orange juice on the table next to each plate. Interestingly, Takumi organized the table as one would for a fine dining scenario to go along with this all-American breakfast he'd thrown together. He seemed to be in higher spirits on this morning, though perhaps this was simply due to the fact that he'd been given something to focus on other than the thoughts which plagued him, thanks to Maiko's company overnight.
