“Hah?”
Keren frowned.
“You’ve been even more irritatingly quiet lately.”

“Oi! Don’t go ignoring me, you jerk!” Keren cried.
Norio groaned.
“It’s too early for your crap!” He grumbled as he stood up.
Keren folded her arms and sighed.

As he got breakfast ready, Norio turned to Emersyn and Vera.
“Do you two want to help put the blueberries in?”
The two quickly looked up.
“Really!?” Emersyn cried.
“Mm!” Vera nodded eagerly.

Keren leaning against the wall, smiled softly.
“He’s really at his best when it comes to these kids...” She whispered.
