“Woah, nice house.”

“Yeah.”

When Komei and Joe moved in together, they decided it was time to get a bigger house. With the help of Komei’s ex-wife (long story), they were able to secure a loan and buy a nice little house in downtown Middleground. Unfortunately, as Komei recently caught Joe flirting with his ex-girlfriend, their relationship has been rather… rocky since.

So he joins Komei at the chessboard. Komei has something on his mind…

“We should look for a bigger house. This house feels cramped. We could do better.”

“I don’t think we would get a credit, though. They have been pretty restrictive lately and I don’t think we would qualify.”

“I could always ask my ex-wife. She is rich.”

“Ex-wife? You were married? To a woman?”

“Yes. I was very young back then. Marriage lasted three months. I broke up with her when I came out.”

“Wow… I mean, would she be willing to lend you money?”

“We are cool. She’s an attorney now.”

“You don’t have any children I should know about?”

“No. You’re the only one who has a kid running around town.”

“Touche.”
