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.

She knows.
Komei heads off to work early next morning.
Please don’t die while he’s away, Polly.
While Komei is fast asleep downstairs, Polly makes a huge mess in her cage and screams all night. This parrot never sleeps.
Joe drops by for a short visit.
Komei tries to teach Polly how to talk. His topic of choice is questionable. I’m not sure if a parrot is able to understand the function of stock markets?
Whoops! Someone left the cage wide open. Polly sets out on a reconnaissance mission and is pleased with what she finds.
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.)
Back in Middleground, Komei Tellerman is quite happy about having the house to himself after his room mate Remington moved out.
Well, buddy. Good luck getting out of that mess.
Christy eventually waddles home.
