Miza and Naki saunter in their front door, only to halt immediately.
“What…” Miza tries not to laugh. Naki is not so successful, as he immediately doubles over.
“What?” Shousei fluffs his hair around the tiara on his head. He wipes a delicate finger across his brow. “Save me, my handsome Prince!”
“I will!” giggles Naki and Miza’s daughter, lifting her styrofoam sword.
“I will never let you,” grows Hooguro, scampering over the floor like a dog. “Rawr! Feel my flames!”
“I’m a ghoul and I regenerate!” Their daughter stomps her foot and taps Hooguro on his shoulder with her sword.
He cries out and collapses. The little girl whirls around to grab Shousei’s hands. “I have saved you, princess!”
“My love!” Shousei clutches his heart.
“My love!” Naki cries then, grabbing Miza and kissing her with one arm, while his other arm encircles his beloved, brilliant daughter.
