> "...A-anyway, how are you doing yourself?"
> "...Everything okay in there? Either of you?"
> "Oh, right, sure. Sorry. Uh, I'm not quite Seija, though."> Duck back down behind the counter and gently retrieve the two women.
> How does Mirai look?> "Of course. Sorry for getting distracted like that. No one came in the shop while you were in there, at least."
> "Sorry, Mirai. I didn't mean to upset you...I'll do my best to remember to not bother you with questions like that."
> "Huh? Is something else wrong? Can I do something to help?"> Scoot back around to the customer side of the counter.
> Inspect the book some more and frown a bit.> Point at the damage.> "...What happened to her?"
> "She looks a bit...damaged. I don't remember seeing that before..."
> Scrunch up our face a bit.> "They what? Who chews on books?"
> "Er, alright. Sorry."
> "...Well...is there anything else I can do for either of you? If not, I'll go give Kosuzu a visit as well, I think."
> "Alright. Thanks again for the swimsuit. We'll catch you both around again, yeah?"
> "Great. And don't forget that you're welcome at our place any time. Catch you later, then."> Exit the store and make our way to (and inside) Kosuzu's bookstore.
> "...Uh..."> Look around. Is there anyone else in the store?
