Finished in the bakery, Ruby went upstairs and joined Ricky on the couch in front of the TV to chat and do their homework. Kimi would have joined them but she was tired and went to bed instead.

Hearing Ruby grumbling about her homework, Molly came over to give her some pointers. "Got it now? Good, just keep going. I'm going to go eat, then I'll come back and check on you."
"Okay, Mom. Thanks." Ruby meant to get right on it, but she got distracted by something Ricky was telling her. "Get out! Really?"
"Yeah, and then..." Ricky nearly dropped his own homework in his excitement, warming to his topic.

Kengo joined them with his dinner, splitting his attention between the TV and their conversation.

Molly ended up becoming absorbed in a cooking show on the TV in the master bedroom, startling a bit when Masami joined her with her dinner. Remembering what had been on her mind earlier, Molly brought up the subject of reducing the price of their baked goods.
"Sounds good to me," Masami agreed. "What else? Is Jamal still on probation?"
"Yes he is. He behaved today, but that could have been because both Kengo and I were there to keep an eye on things."
Masami frowned. "Possible. At least Diya's reliable. I wish we could afford to give her a promotion."
"Me too. Maybe soon," Molly agreed. She stood. "I'm going to go check up on the kids. Ruby should be done with her homework by now."
"Okay. I'll be down as soon as I'm finished eating. I need to get some work done."

Back downstairs, Molly found Ruby still puzzling over her homework though Ricky had finished was focused on his show. Molly frowned, suspecting Ruby had been putting off the work in favor of talking, and firmly got her back on track. This time, she stayed until her oldest had finished, praising her efforts.
Ruby ducked her head and smiled, pleased with the praise.

Spotting Kengo, now dressed for the concert, on hi sway out, Ricky jumped up and chased after him. "Kengo, I forgot to tell you-"
"Sorry, little brother, I'm going to be late. But we'll talk later, okay? I promise. I want to hear all about it," Kengo said, giving Ricky a quick, loving hug.

Disappointed, Ricky flopped back onto the couch beside Ruby, who had finished her homework and gone to grab some dinner. He sure wasn't going to tell her about it she'd just be grossed out, being a girl. Though come to think of it, Kimi would think it was funny, and she was a girl too...maybe he'd just tell her, if she woke up before he went to bed.

Kimi woke up hungry and made herself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which she carried upstairs, looking for Molly. Finding her Mom, the little girl sat on her parents' bed with her dinner and chattered away.
Molly listened attentively, smiling and making the appropriate responses. Kimi hadn't changed much, she still loved attention. At least she had learned to ask for it instead of having a tantrum and was learning how to be more patient.

Unable to sleep, Ricky stayed up playing with his giant stuffed bear. Despite his resolve to tell Kimi his story instead of Kengo, he couldn't help glancing toward the window, wondering if his big brother was back yet. Yawning, the boy finally climbed into bed, tossing and turning restlessly.

Kengo returned from the concert not long after Ricky went to sleep, excited to share the experience with someone. He told Masami all about it since she was the first person he saw, and on the pretext of showing her something, tricked her with the hand buzzer.
"Oh! I should have seen that coming," Masami said, laughing as she instinctively jerked her hand away.
Kengo grinned, pleased with the success of his trick. "Next time I'll be even better at it."
"You'll have to try it on someone else, I'm onto you," Masami swatted at him. "Get out of here. Go check on Ricky, I think he's been trying to stay up waiting for you."
"I'll go make sure he's in bed. Goodnight." Kengo yawned his way up the stairs to the room the brothers shared.

Kengo did in fact find Ricky awake, and spent a few minutes with his brother, leaving once Ricky drifted off to sleep. He went back downstairs to spend some time with Kimi while Masami helped her with her homework.
Masami finally had to send him to bed before he fell asleep in his chair.

Seeing that Molly had yet to return from repairing the bakery's toilet, Masami handled the nighttime rounds herself, tucking in first Kimi then Ricky, who had worn himself out so thoroughly he wasn't even aware of her presence.
Then Masami went to make sure Nova the cat wasn't getting into any trouble, not having seen the cat in a while, before she took herself off to bed.
