August 9th

Today I decided to visit Shin and see how he was doing. How unsurprising to find Redd there himself wearing the apron he had purchased yesterday.

Redd- O-OH! H-Hiroyuki… H-How nice to meet you.

Hiroyuki- Yeah. You too.

He sounded surprised about me being there.

Redd- Wh-what are you doing here?

Hiroyuki- I could ask the same from you.

Redd- W-Well… I'm not too good at baking, and I learned that Shin was pretty good at it, so I asked if he could teach me how to bake…

Shin- And right now he's wondering if you plan to get the cake out now, or after it's burned.

Suddenly Redd shot like a rocket to the kitchen. I didn't think Redd would want to start baking. Is this because of his crush on Tatsu-nii?

Shin- He's a little absent minded… but he's passionate to learn. I wonder what provoked that.

I'd tell him, but I have a feeling that Redd wouldn't like me telling everyone.

Hiroyuki- Maybe he's looking for something to do?

Shin- He's a pretty good artist, he usually spends time with others when he's not singing or drawing. I'd say it's because he lives alone.

Huh? Two more things I didn't know. He's an artist and he lives by himself. I feel a little bad for him, having to spend his life living without anyone else.

Hiroyuki- He lives alone? He must be kind of lonely.

Shin- Not really. Surprisingly he seems to be cheerful and bright. He never talks about it really.

Really? He doesn't feel sad about living alone?

Redd returns with a cake on a plate, rather plain really.

Redd- Shin! It came out really good! Should I put the icing on?

Shin- Of course, but let it cool first.

With a nod the chimera wags his tail as he walks back into the kitchen and puts the cake on a counter.

I decide I should leave and let Redd continue with Shin.

So Redd moved here but has no family to live with? Why did he come here then? I think he likes it here more, so that's his reason for staying I guess. But the biggest question, is how he can live all alone, and still be so cheerful.
