[His niece is such a nice girl....]

I'd like a refill for my tea then, please!

[wantshappiness]

that's all? Are you sure?

[starfruitfrog]

Yup! You already help out so much that it wouldn't be right to ask for more. You need to take a rest sometimes too, Yuuri-chan.

[wantshappiness]

I'm okay! You're the one who's always working, uncle! I'm on break for another month, it makes sense for me to do more now since I'm not even in school right now, right?

[starfruitfrog]

Then just tea would be fine, Yuuri-chan. You're family but you're also a guest, you know? You can go play sometimes if you want.

[wantshappiness]

but I really want to help you out. You're always so nice to me and you even bought me a new bed.

[She just wants to be useful.]

[starfruitfrog]

Yuuri-chan

[He only had one bed in his apartment before this.....

We're family, right? So I can understand what you mean, a little bit. I want to help you out too, you know? You're always trying so hard that I can't help but to want to do a bit, too.

[wantshappiness]

[He could have given her a futon. That's what most of them did. Or give her a guest room. She's never had her own bed or her own room before.

We're family. It's so nice to read those words to know it's not in the context of I'm only taking you in because we're family knowing that he didn't mean it as if she were a burden.]

I'm sorry. [Thank you.] I really like living with you, uncle. I'm glad we're family.

[starfruitfrog]

[He'd used his guest room as a model kit-building room...and making her sleep on a futon on the floor of that room was just wrong.]

I'm glad, too. It's nice to come back every day and be able to say "I'm home" and have someone say "welcome back", isn't it?

[wantshappiness]

it's very nice. I hope we can continue to live like this for a long time!

[starfruitfrog]

[He doesn't say that the original plan should be for her mother to wake up and for her to go back with her true, immediate family.]

Me too. You're always welcome here, Yuuri-chan. It's your home now, too. It's a shame they don't have nameplates here like they do back home.

[wantshappiness]

[She loves her mother, but the idea of leaving her uncle hadn;t occurred to her. If someone were to ask her, she'd prefer the future to involve having her mother and her uncle in her life.]

I don't need a nameplate. This is enough for me.

[Knowing that she's welcome...that this is can be her home. She doesn't want that to ever change.]

everything is just perfect the way it is.

[starfruitfrog]

[He's not sure how well it would work to live with his cousin, but for her he'd be willing to try!]

Let's get you a cup, at least. Pick a colour that you like, okay? I'll pay for it.

[wantshappiness]

[A cup? Her very own cup?]

Can we go this weekend?

[starfruitfrog]

Of course!

[wantshappiness]

Thank you!

[She's going to work extra hard on dinner! And clean everything!]

[starfruitfrog]

You're welcome. If you know any cute shops for buying cups, let me know, okay? We'll look until we find the perfect one.

[He's going to buy her the world's best mug.]

[wantshappiness]

I haven't really gone shopping much. But maybe we can go look for one together?

[Is she asking for too much? Is she?]

[starfruitfrog]

Sure! Let's do that!

[Though he'll also supplement that with some research on the internet first so she doesn't end up disappointed because they go to the wrong area for cute shops like this.]

[wantshappiness]

Maybe we can go on the weekend?

[Best uncle.

She's going to make him a nice dinner tonight! Try to pick something he likes.]

[starfruitfrog]

It's summer now so I don't see why not? Let's go on Saturday. We'll wake up early and go out to get breakfast too.

[wantshappiness]

that sounds wonderful.

Thank you, uncle.

[starfruitfrog]

You're welcome.
