December, 2016

At an outdoor cafe in Paris, a blonde girl who looks like an elementary school student delivers a tray of cream puffs to the table where Kirara has been waiting. Kirara picks up the nearest puff and bites into it enthusiastically.

"The sweets here are just the best!"

"Thank you. I have worked very hard to master making them."

Kirara blinks. "You made these yourself? And you speak Japanese?"

"Surprised? I'm originally from Japan. One doesn't look this cute without being willing to work hard! Though you look like you already know that."

"Do you mean to say that I don't look like a genius to whom all this is second nature?"

"Does such a genius actually exist? I say: Non! The ones who grasp their hopes and dreams are the ones who are motivated and apply themselves! My brother and I, we are going to be world famous confectioners, just you watch!"

"I won't just watch, you know?" Kirara giggles. "I might just become a regular customer."

"Perhaps you'll meet my bro, then. Best be careful! He's good at dealing with pretty girls!"

Rio observes the conversation from the window of a nearby attic. He cannot hear what is being said, but he can very well guess: His sister is boasting again. All the more frustrating, she has the skills to back up her boasts. Despite sharing the same dream, Rio does not.

He turns away from the window and begins packing up his belongings.
