Aunt Cass usually keeps me out of the kitchen and on the floor working if I'm home and downstairs, that's how. Weirdly, customers sort of frown on it when you eat their food. [Give him a moment to supervise.] It's usually busier than this during lunch and dinner, too. Sometimes my friends and I sit down in the cafe instead of up in the house to work on homework and stuff.

[He furrows his eyebrows together in thought.] Tadashi and I keep talking about knocking out the wall between his apartment and the one I claimed a while ago. It's pretty much empty anyway, but I build machines. I'm not exactly an architect yet. Do you ever think it's weird there's only apartments and no houses in the colony?
