"Aaand here's your tip." Daichi hands them some bills." The pizza man bids farewell and Daichi closes the door and brings the pizza to the dining room. As he walks in he sees Io and Hibiki staring into each other eyes, their chins propped up on their hands, elbows on the table.

"Guys cmon if you want me to leave i'll just leave."

Io jumps in her seat, flustered. "N-No you can stay of course."

Hibiki gives Daichi a far away look. "Daichi when you find someone you'll understand. Why don't you find someone? You're a good looking, great dude! You could find someone."

Daichi lays the pizza box down and sits in the other chair and slowly in exasperation drops his head onto the table. "Dude don't you think I've tried."

Io gets up and opens the fridge to pull out some soda. And as she pulls out some glasses from a cupboard for them, she says "Well what have you tried?"

Daichi had risen up only to now go back down and place his chin on the table in a slouch. "...Nothing."

"Well then you can't complain." Hibiki says as he gets off his chair, walks up to Io and kisses her on the cheek, she gives him that smile he adores oh so much as Daichi looks on in disgust.

"At least give me my drink-"

He barely is able to let out as Hibiki nearly smashes the glass onto the table before returning back to Io.

She blushes before saying "H-Hibiki, l-later?"

"Sure..." he breathes out. They go back to their seats bringing plates with them and as they start putting down their pizzas on their plates, Hibiki responds.

"Well go out there man! Go to a beach or a club or something."

"I can't, I need a wingman and you suck at it."

"Well what about Jungo?"

"He hogs all the girls."

Hibiki strokes his chin. "Well who could resist him honestly. He cooks, he's sweet, and strong. He's basically the perfect guy."

"W-Well I beg to differ. I-I know someone better than him."

Hibiki puts his hand over his chest. "Awww"

"Ugh" says Daichi.

Hibiki pouts. "C'mon Daichi, no one likes the jealous type."

Daichi is now fully face planted on the table. Though the couple can still hear him say. "Ah I give up, i'll be forever.

Hibiki pats him on the shoulder. "C'mon cheer up buddy let's put away the food and do something. You wanna go somewhere?"

Daichi still face planted says "No I'd rather just stay here."

Io snaps her fingers. "I know Daichi I got the perfect game that'll pump you up out of your funk.

Daichi gets up. "R-Really?"

"Oh geez Io this great! I never knew you had Devil May Cry! This is gonna be so hype! Wait this isn't the beginning?

"You are on one of my old saves. I though you might want to jump in and not deal with the early stuff.

"Oh okay. So uhh how do you play this?"

"Just mash triangle and you'll be fine, you haven't unlocked your other skills anyway."

Io frowns. "Devil May Cry isn't that simple."

"Yeah but he won't bother with the complicated stuff." Hibiki whispers.

She whispers back. "Come on you need more faith in Daichi."

"Uh guys how do you control the camera?"

Hibiki shrugs. "You can't."

"What?!"

"Hey it was a different time back then."

"Then how am I supposed to jump on these platforms right?"

Hibiki closes his eyes with his index finger pointed in the air. "Practice!"

"How about trying a different door Daichi?"

"O-Okay."

Daichi is now laying on the carpet fiddling on the controller a dull look in his eyes.

Hibiki softly slaps his own right cheek. "Wow Daichi! You're amazing at this game! You're so cool I bet all the girls want you. You should get a gold star for your excellence. Doesn't he Io?"

Io nods her head and speaks just as slowly as Hibiki. "You're right, Daichi is amazing."

"Io. Why are you behind the couch?"

"Oh no reason."

"Huh ...cuz I notice one of your controllers is missing, and I'm hearing weird clacks and clicks coming from behind the couch from there."

"O-Oh thats just the sound of me texting everyone how amazing you are at this game."

"Oh... That's good.

Daichi's controller was unplugged for the past 35 minutes.
