Ayano: (Knocking on the door) Kokona, are you home? It's me, Ayano. Kokona: (Opens the door, holding her nose) Oh, Ayano, it's you. Come in. Sorry about the smell, I've been experimenting with a new cookie recipe. Ayano: (Holding her twins, covers her nose) Oh wow, Kokona, it's really potent today. Are you sure you should be indulging in these cookies if they make you so gassy? Kokona: (Giggles) Well, who doesn't love a good cookie? Besides, I thought the smell of freshly baked cookies might mask the odor. Ayano: (Laughs) I see your logic, but I think it's time for some fresh air. Mind if I open a window? Kokona: Not at all, go ahead. I'll just take a break from the cookie experiment for now. Ayano: (Opens the window, takes a deep breath) Ah, that's better. So, how are classes going? Kokona: (Sits down, fanning herself) Classes are alright, but I've been feeling a bit off lately. I hope it's nothing serious. Ayano: (Concerned) Really? Maybe you should take it easy for a while. Your health should be your top priority, Kokona. Kokona: (Nods) You're right, Ayano. Maybe I need to give myself a break from these experimental recipes too. Ayano: (Smiling) Sounds like a plan. And don't worry, we'll find a way to tackle this smell issue together. Maybe I can bring some air fresheners next time. Kokona: (Laughs) That would be great, Ayano. Thanks for understanding. Ayano: Of course, we're friends, right? Friends support each other, even in the gassiest of times. Kokona: (Grinning) You always know how to cheer me up, Ayano. I'm lucky to have you as my friend. Ayano: (Gently rocking her twins) And I'm lucky to have such a gassy, but wonderful friend like you, Kokona. (They both laugh, enjoying their time together despite the temporary unpleasantness. Friendship conquers all, even stinky situations.)
