Grand Priest: "Is it also difficult for you to suck on a candy? If that is the case..."
SFX: Pakya! (Cracking sound as he crushes the candy wrapper)
Grand Priest: "If it is like this, it will dissolve easily in hot tea."
Shin (trembling and intimidated): "Th... Thank you very much...!"
Grand Priest: "I am the one who should be thanking you."
Grand Priest: "As a father... Thank you very much."
Grand Priest: "Please give my regards to my son as well."
Shin: "Please leave it to me."
Grand Priest: "Shin-san, please take this."
SFX: Koron... (Sound of candies rolling into Shin's hand)
Shin: "A candy ball...? Is this for me...?"
Grand Priest: "Ah, that's right. I forgot that Core People (Shinjins) cannot eat solid food."
Merus: "I see... So my father did that..."
SFX: Sara... (Sound of Shin pouring the crushed candy into Merus's tea)
Merus: "No... Since I am no longer an Angel, I no longer have the right to call him 'Father', do I..."
Shin: "The Grand Priest referred to you as his son."
Shin: "I can only imagine what a parent-child relationship is truly like..."
Shin: "But I believe he truly wanted to give these candies to you, his son."
Merus (staring at the remaining candy): "Out of the two candies you received, the crushed one was for my tea, so only this single whole one remains..."
SFX: Paku... Koro... (Merus puts the whole candy into his mouth)
(The final panel shows Merus crying silently as memories of his father flash behind him, while Shin sits beside him in supportive silence).
Shin (teleporting in): "Degesu, it has been a while. How is your life in confinement going?"
Degesu (glaring): "It was actually quite comfortable, but my mood just turned sour the moment you arrived. Please go home."
Shin (smiling): "Come now, don't say that. Here, take this."
Degesu: "Is this a care package? Just leave it there and go home quickly..."
SFX: Koron... (Shin drops the candy into his hand)
Action: Degesu immediately throws the candy away (Kaan!)
Shin (shocked): "Hey!! That is such a waste!!"
Shin: "I know we can't eat solid food! But it's the thought that counts! Why did you throw it away when I went through the trouble of bringing it to you?!"
Degesu: "You knew it perfectly well, so why did you bring something I can't eat as a care package? Just go home."
Shin (panicking and sweating): "Wait! There is a trick so that even we can enjoy it... Ah! The one from earlier just shattered from the impact of your throw..."
Shin: "We can dissolve this one in hot tea... And as for the other one that isn't broken, we can share it with Gomah and..."
Degesu (furious close-up): "PLEASE GO HOME!!"
SFX next to Shin: Shomo... (Dejected / slumped over)
Glorio: "Don't mind it. I'm sure you two will make up eventually..."
Panzy: (Thinking to herself) "His little brother is a bit mean..."
