:: 46-023 [AL] Hey, Shin ::

It is already night time. Manel must hurry before his dad starts worrying.

Manel walks on to see the final buddy in his social circle: Aoi Shintaro, his best bud. Since Shin's girlfriend, Rocío is out on her own, Manel has an idea of where Shintaro is most likely at... He heads over to the ATC Art Gallery where the Aois live. He takes a peek through the window on the side. He sees Shintaro.

Shintaro sees him and went to greet him.
"Hey, Shin," says Manel.
"Hey, Manel," Shin replies with a smile. "What are you doing here?"
"Just checking up on you... and everyone else..."
"Haha, what a thing to do!"
"What are you doing?" asks Manel, seeing Shin's dad at the back, cleaning the frame of a painting with a cloth.
"I'm helping my dad clean the frames. It's gotten a bit too dusty recently," says Shintaro.
Manel nods, satisfied. "OK, I'm going to go now. Have to be home quick before my father worries."
Shin nods. "Bye then, Manel."
"Bye, Shin."

And that concludes Manel's 'buddy check-ins'. :)
