[ good afternoon ichinose!!! on this fine tuesday, ichiro's sitting outside on one of the benches, looking down at his phone. he's got a book sitting next to him, but at the moment he's just squinting at his phone and
muttering out loud absolutely loud enough to be heard ] "I'd consider fucking my clone because I want to know if I'm good in bed...." Yo. What?
[ he glances back from where he's sitting and waves his phone in greeting! she will be able to see his tattoo on his wrist - the slightly glowing 'losing his family'. ]
Yeah. These're - this is a dumb meme, I think. What a weird title for a school assignment, huh?
[ that clearly doesn't bother ichiro any - he even turns his wrist out if she wants to look. ]
Normal schools don't have shit like this pop on you either, huh? You can look, if you want, I'm not ashamed of it - 's probably not even that surprising.
[ mc big brother who loves his family more than anything? shocking. ]
[ he smiles, though, pulling the sleeve back over his arm. ] It's just the three of us, you know? I know they're fine at home, but this is the first time we've been separated in years. Kinda hard.
Right. I got pulled away in the middle of working on something really important, and I need to get back to it. My work is my one true love, I guess you could say... So this is a little inconvenient.
[... She hums, thoughtfully.]
But you, you love your family more than anything else in the whole wide world. Is that right...? Or is there something else you love?
I think all the things I love kinda come back to that.
[ he reaches up and touches his heart, for a minute. ] Like - my job. I really like my work, but I started it up to keep food on the table. Or, reading manga, I like that I get to do that with Jiro. Saburo's learning to like it, too. Even rap, Ichinose-san - aw, man, if you could hear how good it is when we get to all do it together. It's the best.
Was your project your app? I remember you told me about it.
Ahaha... In that case, you'll have to show me after your big family reunion. I expect front row seats to the concert, you hear me?
[She wags a finger at him, joking. But, really, invite her for a show and she'll go.]
Mm... [A nod.] EMMA. You could say she's kind of my baby. Someone tried to shut her down recently, so I just had to rush in to help. I mean, I was asked to, but even if I wasn't— Her success is super important to me.
Whoa... that's really cool, though. And you built it from the ground up, right? Sorry someone tried to shut it down on you.
[ this is funny for hypmic plot reasons that ichiro doesn't know. alas. he looks genuinely interested, though, tilting his head. ] It's a cute name, too. EMMA. Does it stand for something?
Come on, now, no need to apologize. You weren't even there, after all. But that's right. I built EMMA from the ground up, and then I sold her to the company currently running her. Too bad for their stockholders, huh?
[Money is time and time is money. Whew.]
It doesn't have any special meaning, though. EMMA is just EMMA.

Yes, if this were a normal school. We shouldn't remember the sense of humor we're dealing with.
