Are you serious? We just discovered...whatever this is and you're still thinking about work? [...but suddenly...there's a frown. It is totally real and absolutely not just Hiro pretending to sell his point.] School's going to be hard, too...I should definitely stay home until we have an idea what's going on.
Hiro, come rain or shine, people need my help. doesn't matter if I'm a slime or not.
[Seriously.]
I have work to do. And you need an education. But I think we'll see about you going to school in the morning. If this is widespread maybe it'll be called off.
You make it sound like you're a superhero. [But he lets the point go, looking at his slime-esque hands again.] My education's fine. Do I really have to sleep in the kitchen?
I'm fifteen, Rei. I know how to do my own laundry. [That's a pretty legit concern though.] Anyway, if I can really control this whole slime thing I bet I can absorb it out of the covers, too. I just have to practice.
Very funny. [He could afford it, but he's not going to tell her about the extra money he's been hustling to give them an advantage.] ...it'll be fine. We'll see how things are in the morning.
