«'ey, Mamá!» calls Vic, fingers drumming on the desktop.
«Mamá!» says Gunnar, toes tapping counterpoint on the floor.
««Boys!»» chirps Mamá. ««It’s so good to hear from you!»» 
«Sorry, about missing yesterday. The Kaiju kept us in LOCCENT ‘til it was too late to call.» 
««You were safe in Tokyo the whole time, then?»» 
«Yes, Mamá.» 
««Good. I worry about you two whenever there’s a Kaiju.»» 
«Mamá …,» whines Gunnar. «We know what we’re doing.» 
«It’s our job, too.» 
««I know, I know, but a mother is allowed to worry about her sons,»» chides Mamá. 
A beat of silence. 
«Did you get our package?» 
««Yes, but who in the world eats candied … is this squid? And sugared crabs? And what are these fish-shaped things?»» 
«Those are taiyaki.» 
«They’re waffles full of sweet paste.» 
«You’ll love 'em.» 
Mamá cocks her eyebrow at the camera. 
««If you say so ….»» 
«Don’t worry. We’ve tested everything in the store before we picked things for you.» 
«The staff helped us get started. You wouldn’t believe how many kinds of snacks there are here!» 
««You’re still eating properly? Not just sweets?»» 
Vic huffs and rolls his eyes. 
«Yes, Mamá,» sighs Gunnar. «We even had salads today.» 
««Good, good! You need to be healthy to fight monsters, yes?»» She squints at the screen. ««Victor, did you break 
your nose again?»» 
«Technically, Gunnar broke my nose.» 
««Gunnar, I raised you better than that,»» scolds Mamá. 
Gunnar pushes Vic’s head out of camera range. «Way to go, bro. We’re never going to hear the end of this.»
