Norio helps with cleaning the dishes, if only so he is doing something and isn't thinking about how awkward he feels.

As he's wiping dishes clean, he stops and stares at the oven.

"They've been cooking for the correct amount of time." He says, without checking the clock.

The boy forgets about the rest of the dishes so he can get the cookies out of the oven. He looks at them, sniffs them, and puts them on the side so they can cool a little before he turns back to  Akira.

"We should go when they've cooled, you can't be at my house if it's late."
