((At Juuban General Hospital))
Minako ran towards the counter. "Ah Minako san, here again?" one of the male nurses asked. She smiled cheerfully, "Ohayou!" "You have school tomorrow! Little girls like you should be asleep already." "Gomen! It's just that I really wanted to see Otousan!"
The male nurse laughed a bit. "It's ok, you can go in." Minako ran into the room as Otousan was looking out the window. Otousan turned his head to face her and a smile came upon his face, "Minako!" he opened his arms. Minako ran toward him, she fell into his open arms and they embraced eachother. He quickly grabbed her and asked, "Oi Minako chan. Don't you have school tomorrow?" he looked at her with dissapointment. Minako smiled sheepishly, "Gomen. I just thought I'd come by for a bit." Otousan smiled a little and glanced at what she brought. "What's in the bag?" he winked at her. Minako opened the bag, "Okaasan made this, I thought you might like it." "Ohh curry! My favorite."
Minako stirred the rice in the curry. Otousan picked up a spoon and took a bite with benignancy. Minako stared at him as he ate, "When are you coming home, Otousan?" Minako asked. Otousan paused, "Minako, I'd like some water." Minako grabbed a plastic cup and a bottle of water, she cautiously filled it. She handed it to him, her eyes examining his face. Otousan consumed every drop. "Otousan? You didnt answer my question." Minako stared at him with concern.
Otousan smiled, "I'll be home soon, don't worry Minako." Minako returned the smile but it quickly faded as the male nurse explained to Minako that she should head back home so Otousan could rest.

Minako leaned against a pole that connected to the hospital. "I wonder why Okaasan and Otousan won't tell me what's going on. They just both say Otousan's sick." She pondered this a bit as she kicked the ground with one foot. She proceeded to walk home when she decided to check her watch, "Hoe?! It's 8:00! Okaasan is going to be mad!"
((Shows a mental picture of Okaasan bashing Minako with a broom, 'Minakooo!!' she says with fustration.))
Minako ran through the alley and stumbled a long the way. Suddenly a voice appeared from behind a corner and Minako stopped herself midway. She peeked through and saw the boy she met earlier.
