Artem: Our kitchen
|
|---|
Go and relax in the living room, I'll let you know when it's ready.
You want to help? Sure. Help me chop the vegetables.
Slow down, there's no need to rush.
I'll get you an apron so your clothes don't get dirty.
...
I cook often, so I have an extra apron just in case.
Come here, I'll tie it for you. No need to turn around, I can reach it from the front.
...
What is it?
N-Nevermind.
...
Hmm... New shampoo? It suits you very well.
...
Stay still, the apron is a little big for you. Let me tie it around you again so it doesn't fall off.
Okay. Is it too tight?
Good. No one else has used this apron before. You're the first besides me.
Hmm? I don't normally let others into my kitchen...
I see the kitchen as the most important part of a home.
It's private, cozy, and territorial. It should only be shared with the people closest to you.
Like... us.

Artem: Tie a tie
|

I'll take it. There's no need to try it on. The patterns look nice. I trust in your taste.
Hmm? What is it?
Huh? You...
Okay.
Let me take off the tie I have on first, so that it's easier for you to tie it on.
...
Okay, go ahead.
...
If you tie it like this, the backside will end up facing the front.
Here, let me show you how to do it.
Have the backside face outwards first. That's right. Now, place the wide end on the right side.
...
Hmm... You're very good at this. Have you tied ties for others in the past as well?
So I'm the first man you've ever tied a tie for?
It's nothing, please continue. Yes. Now place it through the circle, and slowly tighten it.
...
It's perfect, not tight at all.
Now, for the last step, fold the collar down and make sure it's flat.
...
You...
Yes, it looks great. You were just like a...
It's nothing, it's just that this is the first time someone tied my tie. It feels... different.
If I must put it into words, then this feels like the happiness I've been waiting for so very long.
