"And then Father would storm out, yelling, 'You bloody kids!'"

"Haha… such a good memory. He always looked so frustrated whenever we tore through the house like a hurricane…"

"Yes, yes, and Dante will always get us into trouble while flirting with the maids."

"Dammit! Didn't I tell you I'm not like that anymore?!"
