[Ah Zai has returned from work.]
[Ah Zai looks around, finds Dad missing, and feels down.]
[Ah Zai drags its exhausted body to the bathroom to take a shower.]
[Ah Zai carries its dirty clothes to the laundry room to wash them.]
[Ah Zai hangs the clothes to dry on the balcony.]
[Ah Zai goes to the kitchen to see if there are any leftovers to eat.]
It had worked too late today; Ah Zai had come back over four hours later than usual.
The kitchen was lit with warm orange light. The rice cooker on the chibi-style counter was plugged in, and opening it revealed a pot of freshly cooked rice.
The aroma and steam of the rice swept away Ah Zai's exhaustion, instantly reviving its spirits as if it had been injected with adrenaline.
[Seeing the rice cooked by Dad, Ah Zai's Mood +999.]
The game's mood meter maxed out at 999, which meant that a single pot of rice had completely filled Ah Zai's mood gauge.
Ah Zai approached the refrigerator and found a sticky note on it.
