Hiro: I'm home.

TV: Yoo are thee killor!
	Detective Canon is here

 - Page 61 -

TV: Thee case is solved!  Har har har.

Hiro: I'm home.

Mom: Oh,
	welcome back.

Hiro: Where's dinner?

Mom: Huh?
	Oh dear,
	what time is it?
	Gosh,
	how strange.

 - Page 62 -

Hiro: Don't worry,
	I'd starve before you got anything ready.
	I'll just buy something from the store.

Mom: Sorry.

Hiro: What do you want?

Mom: I don't need anything.

Hiro: You should eat.
	You're already weakened from the surgery and hospitalization.

Mom: ...fine,
	get the most expensive thing there.

Hiro: Ah,
	yes.

Clerk: Thank you for shopping with us.

Mr. Amamiya: Heya.

Hiro: Open again already?

Mr. Amamiya: Yeah,
	got to earn a living.

 - Page 65 -

Mr. Amamiya: Still eating store food after your mom's home?

Hiro: She was healthier in the hospital.

Mr. Amamiya: Well,
	come on in.
	You can burn a stick of incense for her.

Hiro: Where's Hikari?

Mr. Amamiya: Oh,
	out at karaoke.
	Hide-chan's been very considerate.
	He comes by everyday to cheer her up somehow.
	He's trying so hard...
	Such a good kid.
	But he seems to be skipping baseball practice for her sake.
	Might not be so smart.

 - Page 68 -

Hiro: He might not be out there in uniform,
	but he never stops practicing.
	He'll be swinging a bat outside his house.

Mr. Amamiya: Yeah.

Hiro: Can I use the restroom?

Mr. Amamiya: Sure.

Sink: (shhhh)

 - Page 70 -

 - Page 71 -

Hiro: So she's really gone?
	...not here?
	Anywhere in the house...?

Mr. Amamiya: She always said she wanted a boy, before we got married.
	Even after she gave birth to Hikari, she still wanted a son...
	But once you started coming over to play,
	she never said it again.

 - Page 72 -

Mr. Amamiya: It's still there on the wall.

Wall: Evil Hikari
	Hiro

Mr. Amamiya: She never scrubbed that part of the wall when she cleaned.
	She said you would be a big baseball star one day.
	And this scribble would be worth a lot when you were the most famous pitcher in Japan.
	Can't call that motherly affection though, since she's not your mother.

 - Page 73 -

Hiro: I promise...
	I'll be famous,
	...someday.

Mr. Amamiya: It's already worth quite a bit.

Wall: Evil Hikari
	Hiro

 - Page 74 -

Hikari: Ahh,
	I sang my heart out.

Hideo: Hey, Hikari.
	Just tell me to stop if I'm bugging you.
	Uh,
	I mean.
	I just can't tell all that well.

 - Page 75 -

Hideo: Er,
	that is...
	Would you really prefer to be alone in these situations?
	I try to think of everything...
	But I can't be sure, 'cause I'm not Hiro.

Mom: (gurgle)
	Where's my dinner?
