The boy proudly took out the two small bento boxes, handing one to his brother. "Here, niisan."
"I brought tea." Hiro took out a large container and cups. "Mom said that one tastes like apples. Smells like it too."

"Hey, you're right!" Akemi took the cup that was passed over. "Your mom always has the neatest teas! You should bring more of them over."
"Yeah." Miki gave a quick nod. "Every day!"

"She gets them over at some shop that sells flowers and oils."
"Ino-neesan's shop." Sasuke chirped. "She was the one who found me when I first ended up here, in all that snow."
"Really?" a chorus answered him. He had obviously never recounted his arrival.
