[Alexander jumps on Ed, who falls to the ground and becomes the gray chibi]

Ed: Wow!!... Ouch, ouch...

Al: Brother!

Al: Ah... isn't that Alexander?

Nina: Al bro! Hello again!

Al: Nina!

Nina: Heh heh heh...

My dad has to work overtime, so I came to play again... Didn't your brother come today?

Ed: ...Hurry...take him...away...

Nina: Aha... Alexander became your friend so quick! I'm proud of Ed bro!!

Al: Uh... Nina, if you don't call Alexander, you won't be able to play with Ed bro in the future...

Ed: ...I'm dead.

Nina: Ha ha ha... Alexander likes Edward bro!

[Ed gets back on his feet]

Ed: I almost went to the other world...

Al: But it's the first time I've seen Alexander so happy! He must like you a lot, brother.

Ed: Could you say it's "heavy love"?

Al: Ha ha!

Al: We were almost starting to work.

Nina: Nina came to help too!

Al: Then Nina will help us to feed the little guys, ok? My brother and I will clean their homes.

Nina: Ok! Nina and Alexander will work very hard!

Al: Then it's all yours.

Al: Brother, let's go.

Ed: Ah...ok.

Nina: You can't be lazy, Ed bro!

Ed: Nina...

Ed: O...Of course.

Nina: Heh heh heh...

Ed: Oh...
