<sub>[ A. There's nothing like coming back from a bad end canon update and wasting any remaining cash leftover on pachinko. Coincidentally, this is when there is some kind of celebratory event going on. He didn't regard the text message that went out, really, because every received message has gone ignored over the past few days. Dull, half lidded eyes watch the dazzling lights from the pachinko machine, taunting him even when he finds just the right pressure on the knob to send the pinball flying close to the target hole. The flashing slots appear, but exactly with his luck, they never hit anything. Perhaps you're standing by and are trying to grasp the concept of pachinko, or maybe you get some sadistic joy out of watching this depressed guy lose over and over. That's just his life, apparently.

B. Not long after this, though, he does catch the whiff of something sweet and free, so he'll make his way over towards where he finds it, along with a sign. Happy Birthday whoever, whoever and .. Yor? It was her birthday recently? Aren't you supposed to do something about that? Well, he can't get too involved with that right now, there's a slice of cake sitting on the table waiting for him and he's gonna take it (though, it's probably someone else's... yours, maybe? ]</sub>

_{[ Toji never had an interest in playing the crane machines, but how hard can it be, right? This is, what he thinks, will be a cheap way to get some sort of last minute present. He makes his way over to a frilly, pink and cute UFO machine and dispenses credits. Every item in this particular machine is this toy, so surely he can get at least one, right? As crane games are rigged along with his shitty luck, he plays this game for a long amount of time, gradually losing his patience. Though, Toji can't help but feel some satisfaction in playing as it is similar to gambling. He's at his limit, though, and clunks his head against the machine, banging one fist on the glass in defeat, not realizing he's caused a crack in it from the impact of his fist. Please, admire this huge, intimidating man and his defeat against the shiba inu toy. ]}

<sub>[ One way or another, he's ended up with the toy (probably by cheating, somehow) and he makes his way to try and find the person who will be the recipient. Toji has caught glance of her nearby, playing a round at the DDR machine, and awkwardly just kind of.. stands off to the side. Distracted, he doesn't realize he's bumped into somebody else until it's too late.

When he glances down at who it is, it happens to be Megumi, and Toji doesn't also realize the situation he's about to be in, standing with this shiba inu toy where his son can see. ]</sub>

What.
