She retracted her gaze and pointed at the apples. "I want my apples back."
Jun blinked and felt his ears buzz. Her voice and tone strangely felt very similar to Ai's. He noticed the torn brown paper bag through which the apples must have fallen.

His mouth twitched. "I-It's a puppy really…He won't bite you."
"Nevertheless, there is still a chance of it jumping on me."
"The puppy is harmless."
"My reaction to his enthusiasm might not be harmless."
"..."
Why am I having this sense of deja vu?
He asked, "Then why are you staring at the puppy if you don't want to shoo him away? You can buy new apples."
