"Are you warm enough, Yuri?" Toshiya asks the young kid Yuri. It is snowing outside and the room is cold; but little Yuri is warm because he is sitting at the Kotatsu.
"Yes, Papa. I love Kotatsu the most. It is the best!" the little boy chips.
"Are you hungry? You want some Mochi and green tea?" The father asks kindly.
"Wait til Mama come. You and mama always sit together at the Kotatsu and eat while watching the snow, right?'
"Yes, even since we first married."
"Papa must love Mama very very much!"
"One day Yuri will find someone Yuri love very very much to."
"And I will have tea and mochi with that someone while watching the snow at the Kotatsu too!" little Yuri smiles brightly.

"Yuri! Yuri! Are you alright?" Viktor asks.
"Sorry I spaced out, I was thinking about my parents." Yuri apologizes.
"It's okay." Viktor replies kindly, "thanks for inviting me. These mochi are delicious and I really love this Kotatsu. I never sit at a Kotatsu before. It is so romantic to watch the snow like this."
Yuri and Viktor are having Mochi and green tea at the Kotatsu while watching the snow.
"Thanks for coming." Yuri smiles, "the only thing better than sitting at Kotatsu is sitting at Kotatsu with the one you love."
