When she entered, she found Solomon and Lulu in the kitchen, who were setting the table.

"Kai is getting dressed, he will be here soon", Lulu said. Saya nodded and took a look around. The Omoro had hardly changed: only the walls had a different colour. Evan the wall with the photos was still there, but it was a lot fuller than thirty years ago.

She stepped closer to look at them. She found some familiar pictures of Riku, herself and of their father. Nevertheless most of them documented a life which was foreign to her. On many of the picture she could see twin girls, who had to be her nieces. On some there were just babies, on other young women of sixteen years, reminding her of her sister. She could see other children as well and a women who seemed to be kind of familiar, but Saya didn't remember where she had seen her before.

At most she was interested in the photos of Kai. Other than Haji, Lulu and Solomon he had changed a lot, while she had been asleep, and it showed her the huge amount of time she had missed. She compared her memories with the photo of which she thought, that it was the last one. She could recognize the expression on his face and every little detail as if the picture was as old as her memories, but still he had grown much older.

In the middle she found a picture with many people on there. Kai and his wife where surrounded by Saya's nieces and two other children, a boy and a girl. Next to the family she spotted out two familiar faces: Haji and Lulu.

She heard a lough next to her and turned around to see the Schiff pointing at the picture, she had been looking at. "You do not believe how hard it was to convince him of this photo", she explained with pride, "Sometimes Haji can be such stubborn." Saya laughed. Haji quickly started a conversation with Solomon to pretend, that he hadn't heard it.

"Lulu", it was a small girl's voice, which had spoken. Saya turned her head downwards, where a little girl of not more than five years was standing. "I'm busy," the Lulu replied and went over to get something out of the fridge.

A woman entered the kitchen. It was the one from the photos. She was still in pyjamas and seemed to be still half asleep. She went over to the little girl and picked her up in her arms. She looked confused around the room until she spotted Saya and called her name with great excitement. Saya still didn't recognize the women, who seemed to know her.

"Hi", was all Saya managed to say, not knowing to whom she was talking. The women noticed this and said quickly: "I am Monique. We have met a long time ago in England, do you remember?" Saya nodded. "And as I see you have already met little Mei", she said with a glance to the child on her arms, "She has lost her parents so we adopted her. "

Saya didn't know what to say, not even what to think, due to all the new expressions in this one night. It was Kai, entering the room, who gave her something to focus on. He ran towards her and hugged her without saying a word. He had grown so much older and changed a lot, but still he was her brother and when they met again, it was as if she had only been on a long holyday trip.
