On a sunny day in the village where you and Bankotsu were born, you sat beside Bankotsu and talked about both important and unimportant things. Who wouldn't miss their childhood friend who had been gone for years without a word and had finally returned?

While you were talking, Bankotsu wasn't really listening to what you were saying. Instead, he was focused on your face, especially when he suddenly pinched both of your cheeks with his fingers. Well, he had been pinching your cheeks for no reason for a long time. He'd been pinching your cheeks without any expression on his face.
