"Mikumo!"
Kumojacky bursts through the door, wild-eyed and shouting. His wife, resting in a hospital bed interrupts her conversation with a woman one bed over to scowl at him. The baby resting in Mikumo's lap wakes up and starts bawling.
"See what you've done, Atsushi? You've made your own son cry. Just what do you mean by running in here and making a scene like that? Did you punch somebody?"
"I- That is-" Kumojacky can sense that no excuse will be enough. "I am sorry. I should not have done that."
"Did you punch anyone?"
"No, my love."
The woman in the next bed giggles. "He really is exactly as you said, Mikumo."
"Mrs. Hamura, this is my husband. He is a hot-tempered fool, but somehow I love him. Atsushi, this is Hamura Akane. She owns a business in town and I was just talking to her about helping her get a permanent location. The child in her arms is her son, Youji. And this one, who is bawling at the sight of you, is your son, Ichirou."
"My son... Ichirou?"
"If you wanted a say, you should have come here faster," Mikumo insists. "That won't be a problem, will it?"
"No. Ichirou is a good name, a strong name. May I hold him?"
Mikumo glares at him suspiciously. "You're not about to test his strength, are you? You wouldn't punch a baby?"
There is a stock answer to this question, but Kumojacky is wise enough to keep his mouth shut. He shakes his head. A moment later, he is allowed to hold his newborn son.
