Kenichi:  "Felt bad to work so much that I’m stealing everyone else’s job, so I’ve gotta lay off once in a while." Kenichi lobbed his insult with a raise of his middle finger, smiling toward the owner of a nearby bakery as he passed on his bicycle.

Kenichi:  He proceeded to toss warm words the store owner’s way as the latter vanished around a bend, adding afterward, "Sheesh, everyone talks like I got fired just ’cause they see me taking a day off. Is it so bad I’m nurturing a loving family here? And if I was fired, I’d get a new job before I got busted."

Subaru:  "…As a person you’re nurturing, I’m praying you don’t toss any heart-stopping surprises like that on me.” Hands thrust into his tracksuit pockets, Subaru watched the conversation with the baker from a distance, with sinking shoulders.

Kenichi:  "Hey, hey." Kenichi went at his son’s demeanor, adjusting the position of his highly conspicuous glasses as he said, "It’s bad enough in your own darned room, but there you are, making that suspicious face when I’ve dragged you out and the sun’s shining this bright on a nice crisp morning like this. You might get stopped by a cop like that.”

Subaru:  “If I got stopped by a cop, it’d be because Daddy dragged me out at a time like this!! I…said I didn’t wanna, but you twisted my arm anyway.”

Kenichi:  “What are you sayin’? That foot dragging was just goin’ through the motions. You really love everything about Daddy, don’t ya, Subaru? Relax, I love you, too. Next after Mom, that is!”

Kenichi:  Their stroll recommenced, and Kenichi’s feelings didn’t seem all that hurt as he gave Subaru a slap on his back.

Subaru:  Subaru grimaced at the force of it, but that moment, his thoughts were stolen by an even greater ache in his breast. After all, simply walking close to his father instilled so much pain, he felt like it would crush his chest.

Kenichi:  “Don’t be all guarded like that. It’s not like I’m gonna talk about anything scary. It’s an actual legit father-son talk.”
gpt
Subaru:  "‘Legit father-son talk,’ eh?”
human
Kenichi:  “Yep, legit father-son talk— Incidentally, Subaru, which would you rather have…a little brother or a little sister?”
gpt
Subaru:  “Being asked that at seventeen is nothing but scary! !” He’d lost count of the unexpected blows, but this one left Subaru aghast, voice coarsened.

Kenichi:  Seeing his son like that, Kenichi went “I’m kidding, I’m kidding,” showing off his teeth with a smile. “Well, Mom and I are certainly still on lovey-dovey terms, but at our age we really don’t wanna see more than one of you. So be happy. You’re monopolizing my and Mom’s love.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Ahh, right, right. Happy, happy… You really are joking, right?”
human
Kenichi:  “That sounds like the lead up to Nooo, do you hate me that much? and that kind of stuff, huh?” When the possibility it wasn’t merely a joke finally surfaced, Subaru wordlessly reflected on that possibility.
