Io and behold, when Komei comes home from work, Polly is still alive! But wait…

Would you look at this face? This is the face of a parrot that knows… she knows I want to keep her alive and will do everything to make me fail.

She knows.

In celebration of Remington’s move, Komei got himself a parrot and turned Remington’s old bedroom into the “Parrot’s room”. He contemplated naming the parrot Remington, to honour the latter’s chattiness, but instead went with “Polly”.

(And I’m already emotionally invested in that parrot. Damn it, those things drop like flies.)
