For Our Happier Path

On the way home after work, Hisaki talked to Heisuke about the visits. They didn't use the bike today as both of them wanted to just walk. There was no night class tonight, allowing them to have free time.

Playfully tugging at her old man's hand, Hisaki spoke, "I wanna give my name to the nursing home's group. How about you? Your friends have talked about it?"

If Heisuke already made a choice and it was different than hers, Hisaki would still go along with her decision. Her old man might already discuss the choice with his fellow colleagues. She didn't want to interfere with it.

"I, Tadao and Yoichi always pick the old folks' home. Well, we don't think that we're good with the children at the orphanages," replied Heisuke. With a bashful smile, he asked, "Wanna join me?"
