[X] "It's good, no thanks to you."
"Homura and Mami gave me a once over, so it got pretty healed up." You tell her, twirling your fork in your spaghetti.
"Um, not to interrupt, but it was just Homura who helped you." Mami corrects you, "I was keeping watch while she worked."
"Ah, yes. Our first meeting." Homura quietly reminisces, "That marked the end of my sense of normalcy."
"What happened to your back?" Shoji asks, leaning back in his chair to get a better look at your back.
"Oh, yeah! You weren't here yet!" You clear your throat, "I had a bit of a tussle with these two when I first got here." You say, pointing to Oriko and Kirika, "That was before I even had my first demon, actually. That same night, I got my--?"
"I'm sorry, they attacked you?" Raido cuts you off.
"Yeah?" You answer, "But now, we're friends."
Raido stares at you in confusion for a moment.
Grandma shrugs, "That's our Yumi."
"She's always been like this?" Kyoko asks, chuckling.
"Anyhow, back on the topic of money," You cleanly move along to the next topic, "Jack Bros. General Store accept both yen and Macca! A trip there could be worthwhile!"
"Maybe, but I doubt they stock food." Kazuya interlaces his fingers on his lap, "I'll head there on the way home."
"I might visit as well." Raido adds, "Might have some interesting wares."
"Raido, sir?" Madoka begins, getting your uncle's attention, "May I, um, pet your cat?"
Raido shrugs, "If he lets you."
Madoka nods, reaching under the table. "He's soft!"
You look to the cabinet where he once resided, then under the table. Sure enough, he managed to get under there without you noticing.
The black cat's back arches as Madoka pets it. "His name is Gouto, right?"
"Yup."
The voice that answered was not your uncle's.
