[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.

Yep. Guess that means I'm breaking out some popcorn. Besides, who says I don't have anything planned when I see him face to face? ψ(｀∇´)ψ

[It's a family tradition to have some light-hearted shenanigans at the expense of the birthday person...or make them a target for dad jokes more than usual.]

Yep. My wife met Takeshi back on Crystallis where they were housemates by chance. One thing led to another and she adopted him. Honestly, our time here is the most time I've had to bond with him since.

[Of course, that wasn't the only thing she brought back from Crystallis but that's a story for another time.]

I mean I did both so I can't really judge.

[ Embarrassing Makoto online then planning a surprise party. With Ren. ]

Huh...

Dunno if this kind of place is what you had in mind. [ Probably not. ] But.... it's cool you're both here.

[ Cool that he has someone like that here. ]

It is. Guess this place decided it was my turn.

I can only hope I'm doing good as a dad for someone older since I only had my 5-year-old twins before Takeshi was adopted.

[ There's... a bit of a longer pause. She only knows Takeshi so well, but... ]

It probably just means a lot that you're here for him.

Just me guessing, though.

[ Except she's not. Just guessing, that is. ]
