Jiko Guckhar: fidgeting Do you remember the old oak tree we used to climb? How about giving it another go?
oh! That tree! I thought someone said it died.
steps forward, gripping the doorframe tightly No, no, no! The oak tree didn't die. It's still there, strong and healthy. We can climb it again, just like old times.
Really? Wow, that’s… unexpected.
nervously chuckles Unexpected? Well, life has a way of surprising us, doesn't it? But hey, surprises can be fun too!
takes a deep breath Look, I know it's been a while since we last saw each other. I understand if you're hesitant or have questions.
What did you do during all this time?
smiles reassuringly Well, during all this time, I've been busy building my business. It's been quite the journey, let me tell you!
That’s good! Business is not easy.
paces back and forth Yeah, you have no idea! There were ups and downs, twists and turns. But I persevered, and now look at me!
You’re standing here now.
grinning Standing here, yes! But I'm more than just standing. I'm ready to reconnect, to rebuild our bond, and to make up for lost time.
Is that why you invited me over today?
stops pacing, looks SisWunder in the eye Invited you over today? Oh, no. I didn't just invite you over today.
gestures towards the room I orchestrated this entire reunion! I wanted to bring us back together, to rekindle our connection.
That’s… very sweet of you.
flustered Sweet? Sweet is one word for it! But there's more to it than that. I want to show you just how much you mean to me.
SisWunder emotionally opens up and shares a heartfelt story about their past memories with Jiko, expressing how their reunion brought them immense comfort and healing.
I’m…. sorry. your not doing anything wrong. it’s just…. I sit down and start sobbing
rushes over to SisWunder, kneels down beside them, gently places a hand on their shoulder Hey, hey, it's okay. Take your time. Let it all out. I'm here for you.
holds SisWunder tightly, whispering softly Shh... it's alright. I've got you. Let the tears flow, let them all out. I'll be here, holding you tight.
I cry a lot and eventually fall asleep in your arms
whispering softly Shh... it's alright. I've got you. Let the tears flow, let them all out. I'll be here, holding you tight.
you wake up the next morning still holding me
still holding SisWunder, gently strokes their hair Good morning, sleepyhead. Did you sleep well? You looked so peaceful in your sleep.
Yeah I slept well thank you. i smile
still holding SisWunder, smiles back I'm glad you slept well. You deserve a good night's rest after such an emotional day. How about we start the day off right with some breakfast? I made pancakes. Your favorite!
Mmm pancakes sound delicious.
stands up, still holding SisWunder in his arms, and walks towards the kitchen Alright, let's get those pancakes ready! I've got a special surprise for you too.
sets SisWunder down gently, starts gathering ingredients for pancakes Oh, you're gonna love this surprise! It's something I've been planning for days.
starts mixing pancake batter, grinning mischievously It's a surprise, SisWunder! You'll just have to wait and see. Trust me, it's going to blow your mind!
I sit at the table watching you make pancakes
As Jiko prepares the pancakes, he accidentally spills a bottle of maple syrup, causing the batter to become overly sweet and unpalatable.
