Um, can everyone hear me...?

...

Is everyone okay? I mean, what happened here the last few days. Is that really normal for this place...? [his voice trails off slightly as he pondered on the events.]

...--Oh, sorry! I just...I'm sorry to anyone I spoke to while I had that weird mask on during that week. I didn't mean anything I said.

Ah, anyway...there was something sort of important I needed to talk to everyone about. Firstly, my name is Kazuma and....well, I'm speaking to everyone to clear up a misunderstanding. I mean, as long as you're not busy with something already...[Yea, this is off to great start.] Maybe I should write this out.

[Written]

I've been told there was someone who used to be here that went by the name Hazama. I'm talking about him, because people have mistaken me for him since I arrived.

[A pause]

That is, people tell me I look like and sound like him, but I'm not him. I've never met him or knew of him until I arrived here. [....Was there something else he had to say after this? What did that woman tell him...?] Someone told me about the filters, and that it won't work if they're not here, right? You should try that if you want to check.

That's all I really wanted to say. I did look into what he was doing here and I'll say this now, I can't possibly do anything he could. [Hazama's voiced entry was still ringing in his ear] I don't know why we look the same either, so I can't really answer that. I just wanted to make sure I said something about this to everyone, so [there's a pause, as he taps the page with his pen] so thank you taking the time to read this, and if you still don't feel comfortable around me, I'll understand. Just as long as you know.

[Action]

[...Ok, that should be good enough. He hopes that's good enough, because he's feeling a little ill after making that public announcement. He was never good with these kinds of thing, but it needed to be done. At least he had the option to write it all out instead of talking.

He's going to be in the living room of House 48 for a while, just until his anxiety finally drops and he could go about his business for the day. He had something he said he would do for Miss Litchi, but hasn't gotten around to actually doing it. Probably shouldn't hold off on it anymore, since they really need to get more food for the house. The least he could do after Miss Litchi and Thirteen took him in and nursed him back to health.

So a little later that day, he's going to be seen heading for the grocery store which...was honestly kind of strange walking around town and seeing it was just fine after the moon supposedly crashed into the place. While he's at the store he's going to slowly realize that he probably should have asked for some help. Orz. W-Well, he could always take several trips. Not like he was in a hurry to be anywhere...

More importantly on his mind, what eggs should he get? If there was one place in the grocery store he would spend a long time at, it'll be down the aisle where the eggs. There's just...so many choices, so many different texture to each egg.

You know those people who like to pick and check the eggs in the cartons at the store? That would be Kazuma right now, picking those "perfect" eggs.]

Of course it's okay. It's been quite a while since we had a full house, so I have to admit, it's a nice change.

[Besides, she wants to keep you where she can see you and make sure you eat, young man.]

You're more than welcome to stay as long as you'd like.

[...A smile. ] Thank you for your hospitality.

I'm going out to collect some groceries for the house later. Was there anything else you wanted me to gather that wasn't already on the list?

If there's anything you'd like me to make, please don't be shy about picking it up. [You are part of the House 48 family now and she will spoil you rotten.]

Aside from that, though, I just realized I'm a little lower on oolong tea than I thought. If you could pick some up, I would really appreciate it.

Oh, then do you know any recipes with boiled eggs? [Well, since she said anything.]

And I can do that.

I do, actually. [She pauses thoughtfully.] ...Quite a few, come to think of it. Is there anything in particular you're wanting?

No, not off my head. I usually eat them by themselves, but I wanted to know what else you could make with them.

I suppose if you like them by themselves, tea eggs may be a good place to start. Thousand-year eggs would take a bit too long and may be a bit too much... [They may be popular in Orient Town, but she knows it's an odd recipe for most.]

Eggs with...tea? [...wait, what was that other one?] Thousand-year eggs? What's that?

They're a very common and very popular street food in Orient Town. The tea eggs, I mean.

[Small cough.] The thousand-year eggs are preserved, usually with salt and lime. By the time they're ready, they turn a dark green. It... may be something of an acquired taste.

[...] I wouldn't mind trying either at least once. [Even this thousand-year egg one, yes]

Are you all right?

[He is a brave man.]

Ah... yes, I'm fine, thank you. The cold may be getting to me a little bit, but it's really nothing. [This cough will never leave, she's beginning to feel.]

But I'll be sure to make you a few of each egg so you can try them. If you end up liking them, I can always make more.

Okay. Thank you. [That seems to have brighten his mood up a bit. Maybe it was the fact he had something to look forward to now. Or maybe he was just happy that he was speaking up more so than usual for once.]

You should be careful the cold doesn't make it worse then.

You're more than welcome. [Hey, that brightening cheers her up as well. Momma Litchi is looking out for you, Kazuma.]

And I'll be careful. I'm sure David won't give me a chance to let it get out of hand.
