It was morning, but it was very dark. Probably because of the snowstorm.
Maya awoke at this time. She turned to check the time. It was 5 o' clock and the house was quite. She liked the way it was so quiet.
" I guess I'll go clean up since I'm completely up." Maya mumbled.
She ran into the restroom, brushed her teeth, took a shower, put lotion on ( skin was to dry to tolerate) and put her clothes on. She then ran into the hallway gleefully as she sneaked in on everyone. Maya even ran into Eisuke's room to see the miserable man sleeping. It was actually quite funny! The man snores? Maya thought.
She then slipped into Masumi's room and poked his face. He turned, grunted, fluttered his eyes, and resumed sleeping.
I know what I'll do, I'll make a huge breakfast for everyone. What should it consist of? Oh it should have rice, miso soup, natto, dried seaweed, pickles, tamagoyaki ( rolled omelet) and maybe some fish if there is any! Maya mentally noted on her way to the kitchen. She stepped into the kitchen, turned on the light only to see dishes in the sink. She washed them, then began pouring water into the rice pot, threw rice in and began her masterpiece.
Sometime later, Maya finished the food, plated it, and set the table. Only to see Masumi stumbling down the stairs like a drunk man. He walked straight into the kitchen, with his eyes almost completely closed, poured coffee then drank it. He then turned to hear Maya laughing her head off.
"What's so funny?" Masumi grumbled.
" Nothing" Maya said.
"Seriously, what's so funny?"
" Don't worry about it!"
He then smelled food, turned his face and gaped at the table.
"Chibi - chan, did you do all of this?"
"Yep!" She proudly hollered.
" How's you're head doing?"
" The pain is gone and it feels better"
Their conversation was distracted by Eisuke. Masumi waved him a good morning. But Maya took it too far, She bowed until she was literally at his knees and yelled at the top of her lungs good morning. He replied his good morning back. What he said next shocked the other two.
" I'm very sorry for my churlishness yesterday. I just wanted to show that I am a considerate person." Eisuke said
" It's alright." Maya said.
Meanwhile Masumi refused to make any other contact with his father.
" Do you mind if I join in on this feast? Miss Kitajima, it looks splendid." Eisuke mentioned
" No, please join" Maya said with a pleasant face. As an actor would do. But inside she was angry at him.
They ate in silence, then Masumi checked outside only to see mountains upon mountains of snow. He called Mizuki to ask her if his schedule was full. She said no and then discovered she was sick.
Then Masumi insisted to Maya that he's taking her home. In the car, he praised Maya for her cooking and told her he was coming over to her place sometime throughout the week.
When they arrived to Tussikage's troupe. Rei was not happy. He stood there and mouthed out something undecipherable. Masumi was getting ready to receive the largest scolding of his life and Maya was going to see the inevitable!
