| A game of rock-paper-scissors requires Masaru to take care of Meso overnight. Masaru, of course, was the only one who didn't want to bring the alternately irresistibly cute and terrifyingly ferocious creature back to the city, and some offhand comments (and the look in his eyes) about what he intends to do with it lead Fuumin and Machahiko to volunteer to spend the night at his place to help out. They walk together to Masaru's curious house, find a curious note (presumably from his parents), are introduced to Masaru's curious technique for making coffee, and go to sleep early on Masaru's curious beds. Fuumin wakes up in the middle of the night, and sees a disturbingly transformed Meso--or was it all a dream? Most curious indeed... |
