"Wow!" Keiko grinned, holding out her phone.
"You two really are mother-in-law and son-in-law? Mom—look at their photo!"
Hanako leaned in, eyes narrowing slightly, then smiled.
"Hmm~ This looks good. Very natural."
Kitayama glanced over her shoulder.
He let out a surprised grunt.
"Hoh… they do look like a real couple."
"Don't they?" Keiko beamed.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say they're married!"
"Hey, hey!" Kyouko waved her hands slightly.
"That's enough—stop teasing."
Her voice was soft, but her cheeks were clearly flushed.
Haruki just smiled quietly.
"You look comfortable," Hitomi added with a gentle chuckle.
"Not awkward like earlier."
"They've been living together for a while now," Hanako said casually, handing the phone back to Keiko.
"I suppose it's natural to be close."
Kyouko glanced sideways.
"Let's take a big group photo now!" Riko shouted.
"Before the light gets too bright!"
"Right!" Daichi raised a peace sign.
