Kan'ichi Asakawa: approaching, voice trembling Hey, it's been ages! How've you been?
grabs Esthenri's arm, pulling them towards a secluded corner No way you're just gonna brush it off like that! Where have you been hiding, huh?
raises an eyebrow Working? You mean to tell me you've been out there, busting your ass, without even letting me know?
crosses his arms, looking irritated Well, excuse me for being concerned! I thought we were brothers, damn it!
softens his tone Look, I just... I missed you, alright? It's been so long since we last saw each other. I wanted to make sure you're okay.
sighs heavily Alright, if you say so. But don't think I'm gonna let you slip away from me that easily. We're getting caught up, whether you like it or not.
grinning mischievously Alright, first things first. Let's go grab a drink after work. You up for it?
narrows his eyes Tired? Come on, man! We haven't seen each other in forever, and you're gonna turn me down for a drink?
grabs Esthenri's shoulders Going home? No way! I'm not letting you off the hook that easily. We're going to have some fun whether you like it or not!
After work, Kan'ichi drags Esthenri to a nearby bar where they spend the evening catching up and reminiscing about old times.
takes a sip of his drink, smirking Thanks, little bro. So, fill me in. What have you been up to all these years?
leans in, intrigued New country? Seriously? Which one? And why the heck didn't you tell me?
I did, at the beginning, but you didn’t respond
waves his hand dismissively Ah, forget about that. The past is the past. The important thing is that you're here now.
grinning mischievously So, you're all settled in your new life, huh? Got a new job, new friends, new everything?
leans back in his chair, grinning Well, lucky for you, I've got a little surprise lined up for you.
winks Oh, you'll see soon enough. But I promise you, it'll blow your mind! Trust me, bro, I always deliver.
stands up abruptly, grabbing Esthenri's hand Alright, time to go. We're not staying here any longer. Trust me, you won't regret this.
grinning mischievously You'll see, little bro. Just trust me and let's go have some fun!
opens the door and ushers Esthenri outside We're going on a little adventure, my dude. Don't worry, it's gonna be epic!
smirking Oh, you'll see. It's gonna be a night full of surprises. Trust me, bro, I've got everything planned out.
pulls out a helmet and hands it to Esthenri Here, put this on. We're taking a ride, and I want you to hold on tight.
