*Ding-dong* exclaimed the doorbell as the couple clicked the button.

"Are you nervous, Louise?", Saito asked with a smile.

"I'm just not sure if they'll like me." Louise replied.

"Don't worry. My parents will love, simply because I love you.", Saito said as to comfort Louise.

Shortly after Saito had comforted Louise a woman in her late 30's opened the door to the Hiraga household. She had long black hair, tied in a braid and dark circles around her eyes. Upon seeing the man dressed in blue she burst into tears.

"Saito? Is that you?", the woman said with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Yes, Mom. I'm home." Saito said in a soothing voice to dry his mothers tears.

Saito's mother began bawling even more than before hugging her son, fearing that she had either gone insane from losing him or he might disappear again. She cried into Saito's signature blue jacket. Her muffled questions as to where he had been for the past 2 years could faintly be heard by the neighbors. Saito hugged his mother tight and told her that it was a long story and that he wanted the whole family there so he could tell them. Which included Saito's father and his older brother, Kosuke.

The woman wiped away her tears, " I understand son. Do you mind telling who that girl in cosplay over there is?"

Saito replied, "Her name is Louise, and like I said Mom, this is a really long story. I might as well explain the whole thing to everyone at once because the story is so long, that if we were to write it all down it would take like 4 books." Saito said showing high amounts of exhaustion.

Saito's mother accepted the reply saying, " Your father will be home from work in 1 hour and I guess I should call Kosuke to come here from his apartment."

Saito just smiled and said, " Thanks, Mom." as she led Saito and Louise into the house.
