In the Takishima Family Headquarters

"Kei, we need to have a talk" said Kei Takishima's mother. "It's about time for prom, and I want to know who you are taking as your date. You do have a date, correct?"

"Of course I do, mother," replied Kei.

"Well, who is it?"

"Hanazono. Hikari Hanazono is my date to prom!" spoke Kei, trying to mask a huge grin that was conquering his face.

His mother pondered for a moment, then replied, "Well, I suppose this Hanazono girl that you have been talking about for years is pretty brave. Just make sure she can handle the party you have to attend afterwards. You basically lead the Takishima Company now, so that means you have to go to all our affiliating companies' events. This is the biggest party of the year, held by our most important customer, and our company cannot afford for you to be absent. I know this is not the after-party you planned to celebrate at with Hanazono, but you must bring her along, unless you want to ditch her right after prom ends. Have you already discussed this with her?"

"I… um… haven't quite… talked to her about the circumstances… yet…" mumbled Kei.

"You better mention it soon, so she has time to prepare, both mentally and physically," said his mother. "Good luck…" she whispered.

Kei thought to himself, how am I going to bring this up to Hikari? I don't want to make her worried before prom, she already has enough on her hands… Maybe I'll just mention it afterwards…
