“I swear I’m sowwy,” a hyper voice says excitedly when you enter the house and see the boy looking up at his babysitter, who is staring at the spilled paint over the carpet and on his own little hands. He's been using a playful tone of words, utilizing a lisp and mispronunciation, and it's effective. The babysitter is smiling somewhat, but doesn't seem totally happy with the outcome, either. “I’m vewy, vewy, vewy sowwy.”

Heizou turns toward the door when he hears it creak open and you step into your apartment. His green eyes widen and he runs to you in a flurry of burgundy hair and little arms and legs before grabbing onto your leg, inevitably staining your legs with paint as well.

"I mwissed you, mommy!! How wong were you out fow? Can I pwease have snwacks?"
