Hakuba eased through the doorway like a... well, like he owned the place and was surprised by the lack of sound and light that greet them. The boy quickly turned off the security system and turned up the lights.

"Looks like we are alone. "He turned to face Naoto, an apologetic smile in his lips. "I guess that our housekeeper is with my mother in Siena, I don't have as much servants as you do." Too bad because after walking up and down the whole city some help would be good.

Naoto stepped inside and looked about, hearing her own footsteps echoing within the empty hall. She was used to such large spaces, as her own home was probably as large as Hakuba's, but what disturbed her most was the hollow silence. How could a single housekeeper (and two androids, if they actually performed cleaning duties) ever keep such a large house in order?

"It feels so... lonely," Naoto said softly. "Back at the estate, I could always hear the staff working, even if there wasn't much for them to do."

She glanced at Hakuba and put on a smile, despite being tired from all the walking around. "How about you show me the kitchen and I can make us some tea?"
