Chimon-" Finally you bring me something useful!"

(Chimon plasters a big smile on his face while he pats Ezekiel on the back)

Chimon-" You did great son! Let's go show this to the creative director right now"

(Ezekiel doesn't say a word but follows his father's command. He sees as Chimon looks at his cheek)

Chimon-" Your face looks quite better"

(Ezekiel was angry. He talked about his cheek as though he wasn't the person who hit him)

Ezekiel-" A friend of mine has been taking care of me..."

Chimon-" Oo~ Well could I meet them? I'd like to thank them for fixing you up. Preventing you from embarrassing me"

(Ezekiel scrunched. He should've never brought up any sign of Lynnon, but he couldn't hide her now that his father knew about her. I'm sorry)

Ezekiel-" She's busy"

Chimon-" So they're a woman? Tell me more"

(Ezekiel stays silent)

Chimon-" Speak Ezekiel"

(Ezekiel silently gets annoyed)

Ezekiel-" Forgive me but I forbid myself from telling you anything about her. I won't let you do anything to her"

(Chimon makes eye contact with Ezekiel. Chimon could see the fire in his eyes. He became surprised. This was the one time Ezekiel had stood up to him like this)

Chimon-" Standing up for your woman I see"

(Ezekiel doesn't say a word, still determined to keep Lynnon safe from his very own father)

Chimon-" I understand. Don't worry. I won't do anything"

(Chimon and Ezekiel continue to walk down to the CD's office, but this time, not saying anything to each other along the way. Knock! knock!)

CD-" Come in!"

(The door opens and the CD sees Ezekiel and Chimon)

CD-" Ah~ My favorite people. Did you two need something?"

Ezekiel-" I have.. BETTER.. material for you"

(Ezekiel passes the photos he had taken to the CD)

CD-" Wow! These are great I'm sure I could present these to the members. They'll like them, I know it"

(Ezekiel began to calm down)

CD-" Just one thing"

(Uh oh)

CD-" I think I'll need just a bit more skating references. I have a good amount but better safe than sorry"

Ezekiel-" Ok. That's doable. Thank you"

(Ezekiel turns to see that Chimon had already left the room. He didn't mind though)

CD-" You're free to go. It's pretty late. The buildings almost cleared out"

Ezekiel-" Right. I'll see you Monday"

CD-" Mhm!"

(Ezekiel leaves the room. He quickly heads to his workspace to pack up. Today was different though... he was packing like he was in a rush. Did he need to be somewhere? See someone? Suddenly when Ezekiel has put his last thing into his bag, he hears a voice)

Etsuko-" Hello Mr.Imai"

(Ezekiel secretly got annoyed all over again. Not now! Ezekiel turns to see Etsuko in a purple, sparkly, skin-tight dress. It didn't phase him at all though)

Ezekiel-" Aren't you a little over-dressed for work?"

(Etsuko giggles)

Etsuko-" Do you like it?"

(Etsuko does a small half turn, stopping in a position where Ezekiel could see her butt)

Etsuko-" I'm going out to eat tonight. I plan on going to a place like Aragawa or Yukimura"

Ezekiel-" I don't think this place pays you enough to be going out to places like that"

Etsuko-" I've decided to treat myself this weekend"

(Etsuko turns back forward)

Etsuko-" Say... do you have plans tonight? I would love to have company with me"

(Etsuko begins to act all cutesy, flicking her eyelashes and forcefully making her body more curvy than usual)

Ezekiel-" Sorry. I have to head home"

Etsuko-" Oh cmon~ Please?~"

(Ezekiel looks at his watch. 9:30 exactly)

Ezekiel-" I'm sorry. I really have to go"

(Etsuko grabs his hand before he could go)

Etsuko-" Mr.Imai. I know you want to"

(Ezekiel turns back and her)

Ezekiel-" She'll worry. I have to go"

(Etsuko froze)

Etsuko-" She..."

(Her grip on him slowly vanished. Ezekiel broke free and left Etsuko alone in their now-empty department. He heads out and into his car. He had a smile as he drove out of the parking lot and down dozens of streets until he reached his tall apartment building)
