 [Well, Ren's here, just as he said he'd be. He'll buy drinks for any adults still alive that want to imbibe, but there's also a number of sodas in a cooler available for anyone who's a minor or just doesn't want to drink. He's also brought in some snacks from Yotsukoshi and a few of those crab buckets, although anyone else is certainly free to contribute their own food and drink to the pile. 

Ren finishes up his cigarette before setting up, letting it extinguish before everyone arrives. Look, he's being good, there's only one in the ashtray. 

Joey's got one of her dance routines planned, Ren already also had the King's Game set up, or people can just mingle.

It's just not good to be lonely.]

...not always. My mother has been in danger because of my enemies more than once.

[And now she's in danger again, from whatever threat those shadowy creatures pose.]

Still, I cannot find it in me to regret the choices that led me down this path.

Is that why you've been going by a different name? Like a superhero thing to protect your family?

[Kurama shakes his head a little without lifting it from his arms.] Technically speaking, Shuuichi Minamino is as much my name as Kurama is. It's the name my human mother gave me. She...doesn't know that she didn't actually give birth to a human son...

It's not, unfortunately, all that difficult for my family to be hunted down regardless of what name I'm using. But in an unfamiliar situation with unfamiliar people, I fall back on Shuuichi because it's safe.
