"Kaneko, breakfast!" Her father called from the kitchen. "Be right there!" She called back. Kaneko sat up in bed and walked over to her window, opening the blinds to let the sun in. It was surprising that her father was here, usually he left early to work. Maybe he was running late. Quickly, she walked out of her room looking like a mess, but she still kissed her father's cheek. "Morning dad, sleep well?" Kaneko asked and took a seat at the table where breakfast was waiting for her. Her father had eggs, bacon, and pancakes and Kaneko had pancakes. The only way she'd eat eggs. "I did, what about you?" Her father asked.

Kaneko shrugged, "I slept nicely. I guess it's because you were home. I don't like it when you're not here you know." It was always the same conversation, she didn't know why she bothered anymore. Her father wasn't going to change, and she just had to accept that. He loved what he did and as long as he didn't get caught, she really couldn't stop him. "I know, but I always come home, you know that." Her father answered, taking a bite of his food. Kaneko poured some syrup onto her pancakes and then cut into them with her fork before taking a bite happily. Her father was right, even though he was late most of the time, he did always get home. She just didn't like having to stay up so late for him to return. "I know.." she replied quietly.

"Are you heading out later?" she asked him, continuing to eat. He nodded and checked his watch. "In a few minutes. What about you? Will you be fine?" He asked her. Kaneko was silent for a moment. She could go for a run before work. "I'll be okay dad. I have work remember?" She reminded with a smile. It wasn't something he was too happy about but it gave Kaneko another reason to leave the house for a few hours. "I'll be fine dad, I'll call you on my break like I always do." Kaneko promised, taking a sip of the milk she had been poured.

The doorknob turned and in walked Kaneko's father who was surprised by his daughter running into his arms and hugging him tight. She had been so worried, but he was fine. He was here, and he was fine. He apologized for being late, but Kaneko knew it wasn't going to get him to arrive earlier next time. "It's okay, I know you have work to do and work comes first." She said, giving her father a quick kiss on the cheek. "You must be tired." She said, stifling a yawn of her own. "I'm exhausted. But come, you need to get yourself to bed. Don't worry about me. I'm just going to lock up, shower and then hit the hay." Her father instructed. Kaneko nodded and gave him one more hug which he returned and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight Kaneko." She smiled sleepily. "Goodnight dad." she whispered and left to her room.

Their home wasn't fabulous, but it was still pretty impressive. Her room was spacious, and her bathroom was nothing to complain about. Kaneko closed her bedroom door behind her, undressed and pulled on some pajamas then slipped under the sheets of her bed. She was sleepier than she though, which she found interesting since she wasn't sleepy at all back in the park. Maybe that was because she was actually doing something and then he showed up and she had someone to talk to. For a brief moment she thought of the stranger and wondered what had happened to him. That would remain a mystery though, she didn't think she'd ever be brave enough to ask. With that thought in mind, she fell into a deep and peaceful sleep.

"It is pretty impressive." Troy agreed, nodding his head. Lyle stared at it, he couldn't believe they had just made this. Why? Well, he supposed it did look pretty nice. Was it really fun? Well, it was a nice way to pass the time yes. He still struggled to make bricks but he was a perfectionist so that was why it took him longer to make any. "Looks like a small house." Lyle commented. "Good to know you're starting to enjoy this Lyle. But we still have many things to show you. Like a good old snowball fight. Those are always fun." Troy said, then realized that maybe they would want to go inside instead. "Unless you would like another warm drink inside before doing anything else."
