Around midnight, Shiori gets out of bed to go complain to someone about those two Johnnys making noise outside. One of them is almost shouting, and the other one - the one her daughter likes - sounds like a hyena giggling into a bullhorn. I promise you both, Shiori thinks as she scowls out the window at them, that if my daughter wakes up and finds out you're out there, she's going to want to kidnap you, and I'm going to let her try.
They immediately simmer down as if they can sense how serious she is, but she keeps watching, skeptical. Sure enough, ten seconds later the hyena snaps out of his meditative trance and pounds the ground with his beer bottle and makes the louder one squawk. Then they grin at each other.
Neither one of them says another word for a long, long time after that, so Shiori mutters, "Thank you," closes the blinds, and goes back to sleep.
