Summary
“The Cutthroat Cat did it,” someone said from behind Fuma, loud enough to be heard over the agitation of the crowd. It made Fuma spin around, the accent unfamiliar, certainly not local, and not one he recognized even from his time in Edo.
The stance was what caught Fuma’s attention. Someone who looked at the scene without fear or confusion, and a heavy cloak and hood on a bright spring day. It was suspicious. The figure began to move backwards, turning to walk away from the crowd. Fuma trusted his instincts and followed, with only a brief glance back at Hirota to make sure he wasn’t abandoning him to a brawl.

Summary
Euijoo switches to Korean. “Okay, listen. You’re going to laugh.”
There’s a noise of confusion over the line. “What? All of a sudden?” Fuma has switched to Korean too, sounding like he’s already suppressing laughter.
“I don’t want to be overheard,” Euijoo says, “by the scary beautiful cashier.”
There’s a particularly loud clatter, as if a plastic crate had been precariously balanced on someone’s knee and then knocked to the floor by a violent flinch. Or something.
Euijoo never stays up late. Then he meets the night shift konbini cashier.

“You’re my best friend,” Nicholas says, and Euijoo only swallows.
Or: In the stifling Osaka heat, Euijoo makes a decision.

Summary
“Hello. I am RK800, an advanced prototype. Pleased to make your acquaintance.”
“It’s a little goofy looking.” The customer crossed his arms. RK800 frowned. The customer chuckled in surprise.
“I think it looks cool!” For the first time, RK800 noticed a young boy with the customer. The boy stepped forward and placed his hands on the android’s feet and looked up at him. “Can we get it, Dad?”
“I just have to know –-can you take care of my son? That’s all I need. Someone to cook his meals when I can’t, homework, bath, and stuff like that. Can you do that?”
“Yes.” RK800 nodded.
“Then we’ll take it.”
The young boy grabbed RK800’s hand and pulled him after his father and the salesman. RK800 stopped to step down from his display case and follow. The boy smiled up at him.
“Hello, Robot! My name’s Cole Anderson.”
“Hello, Cole.” RK800 smiled. “My name is Connor.”
__________
Hank just wanted help around the house for Cole. He never expected such a goofy thing that laughed and hummed and protected Cole with all of his being. Connor is not like other androids --but neither of them truly know how deep those differences go.
