"My father."

"Won't let you use a webcam? While talking to friends?"

"I don't usually so it'd be suspicious."

Nod. "… How much do you usually use a computer, anyway?"

"Not much, I'm not a computer person."

"I'm not sure if it would help it or make it worse for him to know you're talking to someone you met at the camp that was to be a good influence."

"...well I suppose after he meets you..."

"… If I try to make a good impression that would presumably help? I'm not sure what I should be aiming for – I don't know I can convincingly pretend to be religious."

"No need to be religious, just—straight. Maybe I should pretend to be a boy more often."

"Make it seem more platonic?"

"Yeah."

"I can probably do that. … I think."

"You think?"

"I've never tested my acting ability."

"Just don't show any non-manly affection and you're fine."

"Eugh."

"I don't mean you have to be like, I don't know, all manly and rough and tough. Just. You know, don't act like you have a boner for me."

"… I mean, still eugh, but I can probably do it."

"I know I'm irresistible but I believe in you."

"I don't usually have – well, any of my acting ability tested."

"You don't need to win an Oscar merely convince my father."

"… Yeah. Okay."

Anthony's parents will arrive before Kaede's father.

It's his mother!

"Hi, darling," she greets him, smiling affectionately (but not moving to embrace him). "Shall we get your stuff? Did you have a fun time?"

"Um, yeah –" He turns to look at Kaede. "This is my mother – mom, this is Kaede."
