Early morning stimulus

Already working so early? Good luck kids!

Oho!

Don't you have an orange?

But there's nothing left there!

[Emma]: Hello...

[Aleksander]: No.

[Aleksander]: You can eat at your bar.

Hello darling!

[Aleksander]: Hello...

[Aleksander]: Finally back?

Huh?

Hm?

Have a wonderful day.

I thought you were asking for a kiss, darling!

Huh?

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry.

Yo!

[Aleksander]: I believe I said to save that for outside the station.

Hnh... If you're not drinking that, I'll have it.

Hello.

Hm?

[Emma]: Ketchup?

You have ketchup on your mouth.

[Emma]: Ah, the woman earlier must have left some lipstick on me...

[Emma]: Thanks.

[Emma]: Mmh...

[Aleksander]: Well, you don't have to put any on today.

[Emma]: Speaking of, I left mine at home.

[Emma]: Did I really look like I was waiting for a kiss?

[Emma]: I'm getting some tea again.

Hey...

What's going on?

It's spilling over!

[Emma]: Hello.

I'm taking her back to her bar.

Bah, it's just an interrogation that took a little longer, what are you on about?

Did you have scrambled eggs for lunch?

[Emma]: Ah?

[Emma]: Hmph...

[Emma]: That much?

[Emma]: Little brother?

You're fresh and pretty as a picture, darling. That's what we call a nice blond! Coming back from my "trip", I didn't expect to find a doll like you at a station! A trip? I love trips. Don't you want to work in my bar? We're not too far from the station, too. "Finer" is what it's called, it's a cabaret. A classy place like none other, don't worry. The idea never sat straight with him. He never goes there, when he does, it's for work. He might have a mean face, but I'm giving you to him. Be nice with my little brother!

Veil Vol. 1 - Chapter 7 opens with an early morning mix-up at the station that sets a light, teasing tone for Emma's day. Emma greets someone with hello darling, only to be told she looked like she was asking for a kiss, leaving her flustered and apologetic while Aleksander reminds them to save that for outside the station. The awkwardness continues with a small domestic detail when Aleksander is told he has ketchup on his mouth, which turns out to be lipstick left from the earlier woman. Veil Vol. 1 - Chapter 7 uses that moment to show how Emma and Aleksander are settling into familiar banter, from sharing drinks and tea to joking about scrambled eggs and spilling over.

The sister introduces herself as the runner of Finer, a cabaret near the station, and immediately charms Emma by calling her fresh and pretty as a picture and a nice blond. She invites Emma to work in her bar and notes Aleksander rarely goes there except for work. Veil Vol. 1 - Chapter 7 closes on her entrusting Emma to her little brother with the request to be nice with him, reinforcing the warm sibling dynamic while nudging Emma's growing independence forward.
