Shion, flustered, stammered:
Shion: "Huh?! But... this address... Jay sent it to me."
Suddenly, a side door opened, and Shiyoung entered from the corridor, carrying shopping bags.
He froze when he saw Shion standing in front of his mother.
His eyes widened... he immediately realized he'd fallen into another trap.
He lifted his head toward the ceiling and shouted at the top of his lungs:
Shiyoung: "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaax!!!!!!!!!"
His mother flinched, placing her hand over her chest:

Shion quickly tried to calm the situation:
Shion: "I-I'm sorry... I think there's been a mistake with the address... I... I'll leave immediately."
She started to walk away nervously, clutching her bag, preparing to leave.
Shiyoung stood stunned, watching Shion descend the stairs hurriedly.
He bit his lip in frustration and muttered to himself:
Shiyoung: "This game has reached a whole new level... Max won't leave us alone."
He called out from the doorway:
Shiyoung: "Shion! Come back... it won't be wasted this time."
Shion hesitated for a moment, then returned and climbed the stairs with him.

Mother: "Welcome, dear. What would you like to drink?"
Before Shion could answer, Shiyoung interjected quickly:
Shiyoung: "Hot chocolate... with marshmallows."
His mother laughed and went to prepare it.
Shion, quietly to herself, thought:
