I REMEMBER THAT you played the dragon demon boy from Senyuu, didn't you? LONG TIME NO TALK

come to him, Koutarou, please stop him from sleeping in the middle of a construction site, he needs help

and he will make that tea house his new home! howard is awkward and anxious but he likes to be around people who are chatty, paradoxically, because he likes not having to put too much effort into conversation so YOU ARE GOOD IN HIS BOOK, MY FRIEND. and yes, they shall bond over weird things not being really that weird at all
