The maid opened the door and let the other maid and the boy in. Of course he he was a bit scared. The room, everything was so big and looked so pricey. He was afraid that he might dirty something if he walked in. But when one of the made give him a glare saying 'Don't keep the master waiting, hurry up'. Then made him tensed and quickly stumbles in. Watching the others leave him alone with the master. He was lightly trembling. Getting worse as the other male looks at him. "Is there something on my face? Is it the clothes that I am wearing? These are my best and I washed them three time before coming here." he said to himself. Fearing that he might not hire him at all.
When asked if he was really Kouno-san son. He was about to speak, but quickly shut it as he said that he just couldn't replace his father. That he had to start at zero. Just the tone alone terrorfied him enough. "I know! I'm sorry!" he said nervously and looking down at the ground. After he took a deep breath he looks up at him. While he apologize for his rudeness. He smiles and said "I-it's quite alright." in a calm but still very shy voice. But as he smiles. He had the exact same smile as his father. There was no doubting it. There was something in the smile that was calming and peaceful. Making you think that things will turn out alright.
Takahiro took a seat when told to sit. Keeping his back straight, hands in his lap and his head low. "I-I know that I will never truly replace my father. I knew that long before coming here. He and I are so different from one another." he spoke quietly. "I-It's just that my father was so-so grateful to your family. He-he told me that it it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here. Y-Yet I don't know how. He never told me the reason. If-if I am a bother. I-I can leave now. But please...let me serve you."
