(PRIVATE) This makes two.

(Chris, after changing into a set of fashionable clothes, goes over to Sumiko's dorm upon being requested to do so by her. He has a gift-wrapped present for Sumiko. He smells his breath before knocking on her door. Chris then knocks on her door.)

Sumiko not fully dress jumps at the knocking sound
"J-Just a minute!"
Senapi is here and I'm not ready!
After a few minutes she answers the door and jumps at him giving him a hug
"Hi senapi!"

(Chris kisses Sumiko on her head, becoming something of an impulse at this point in their relationship.) Are you ready to head out, Sumiko-chan?

"I sure am." She kisses him and holds his arm staying close waiting for him to lead the way

We're off then. (The two proceed to the city, conversing with one another along the way.) How's your week been so far, Sumiko-chan?

"It has be great I really like it here."
She tugs on his arm
S-senapi have you meet a person name Sayuri Motozaki?"

Not yet, but I've overheard Yuuji and Satoshi talking about her before. Did you happen to encounter her?

"Y-yes..."
She snuggles closer
"I meet her in the library. S-she uh... is a bit frightening..."

(Chris throws one of his arms around Sumiko.) Frightening? Care to elaborate, Sumiko-chan?

"I ummm.. m-may have asked her why she is in a wheelchair... she yelled at me.."

{Being as coy as she is, I can understand how Sumiko could come to feel so offended by having someone raise their voice at her.} (Chris stops and firmly grabs Sumiko with both of his hands.) Sumiko, what was your initial reaction upon having Sayuri berate you?

"I was cowering...I fell to the floor scared...apologizing..."

And what did your defensive action accomplish?

"N-Nothing..."
She loosens her grip

Sumiko, please don't be like that. Did Sayuri apologize for lashing out at you?

"Y-Yes... and I did as well for asking..."

Then best to leave it that then... For now, anyway. (Chris smiles in hopes of raising Sumiko's disposition.)

"What about you senapi how was your week?"
She says with a pouty face"

(Chris doesn't know how to properly address Sumiko's agitation, so he just ignores it entirely and responds to her question.) Well, I picked up my little sister at the airport the other day. I haven't seen her all day though. I'm starting to become sick with worry. Have you seen a blonde-haired girl, slightly shorter than me, and with mismatched eyes around anywhere, Sumiko-chan?

"I-I didn't know you had an sister Senapi...What is she like."

{Maybe first understanding Rachel's quirks might assist Sumiko in helping me to find my sister.) She's very kind. Although, she's also very self-conscience of her... mismatched eyes. I'll have to introduce you to her one of these days.

"Has she talked with anyone after you let her be?"

Well, I did request that Yuuji help her to locate her dorm room... {Time to butter Sumiko's ego} (Chris tenderly embraces Sumiko.) You're a genius, Sumiko-chan! Where would I be without you?

"I-I eh?"
She did not know what just happend but accepts it either way and hugs back

(The two arrive at the zoo they set our for. Chris pays the entry fee for both himself and Sumiko. The two enter and Chris urges Sumiko over to a sign indicating the locations of the different animal exhibits.) Where to first, sweetie?
