"Out of all Sempai's boyfriends, I like you best, Mr. Vash," Milly confided.

"Just how many were there?" Vash's voice wavered.

"Lessee...Jones drank too much, Mike was a workaholic, Pete was kinda ditzy, and Mickey was nice, but much too silly...and, oh, what was his name?"

"There's more?"

"Oh, plenty. TIM! Tim was kinda a jerk, but Meryl seemed to like him enough for a while. She even had a funny nickname for him!"

Entering the house, arms full of groceries, Milly called inside, "Sempai, what was that name you had for Tim?"

Meryl snorted. "Tripod! ...Hi, sweetie."

Vash paled.
