[On the morning of September 25th, Kenichi knew he had a parental obligation to keep. Little did he know, the mognet decided to be glitchy and show this private video public. Kenichi has several band-aids on his face and hands. ]

Hey, Takeshi. You know what today is? Did you honestly expect your mom not to tell me? Don't worry, I promise no surprise drop ins like how your mom did back in Crystallis.

When Saori told me she adopted you, I didn't know what to say at first but I'm glad she did. I'm proud to call you my son. Thanks for putting up with me as your old man.

So, happy birthday, Takeshi. Next time you're in the area, dinner is on me. And don't mind the band-aids, they're just scratches I promise.

[There are a series of reactions he has to this. First: Oh gods; mom, why? Second: Dad no why did you have to remind him. He'd been embarrassed enough he'd forgotten a shirt and relieved that no one else was home, though he'd have to explain the scarring sooner or later. Why you gotta remind him of that surprise knock on his window that day? Third: Oh, sweet Darkness, this is-]

Uh, Dad...? You realize this is public, right? [HE IS PURPOSELY HIDING HIS FACE IN HIS HANDS; YOU CANNOT MAKE HIM SHOW HOW RED HE IS.]

What?! No, I double checked that I marked it as private.

Hang on. Cecil? Cecil?!

[He gets off the couch and off camera to confront his moogle. He returns a few seconds later.]

Ugh...that explains it. Mognet glitch. I'm so sorry.

Eh, it happens. At least it isn't something stupid, like every sentence ending with a "kupo" or whatever.

Let me guess: the kittens? [Dad please; someone needs to get a scratching post for them.]

Yes, from kittens but not mine.

To make a long story short, I've been trying to network with local animal shelters in the cities I stop at between shifts. Mostly it's been volunteering in rescues and what not. Can't have a cat cafe/shelter if the cats aren't ready to be adopted after all.

I see. [What? He can't argue the logic there.]

Good luck with that. I'll stop by sometime this week. [Maybe having one more person to socialize them will help?]

Alright. Drop me a line when you're in the area. Thankfully this week it's all very short flights for me so I won't be too far from home.
