Teenage!Legoshi: Mom!? Is that you!? W-What're you doing here!?
Leano: Hello, son. I've been granted a reprieve from death to visit you... that, or you're getting your stomach pumped for seafood poisoning.
TL: Damn, I should've stayed away from Sagwan-san's deviled oysters! I knew they smelled undercooked!
Leano: No cursing, sweetie. You have to set a good example.
TL: Good example? For whom? (Notices a wolf boy hidden behind Leano). Is this...!?
Kid!Legoshi: Mom... who's this guy? He looks kinda familiar...
Leano (nervous): Well, this is... your older brother! I forgot to mention it, but you totally have an older brother!
TL/KL: What!?
Leano: His name's Le--Armgoshi! You know how I named you after my favorite body part? Well, I named Armgoshi after your grandpa's favorite body part.
TL: (Seriously?).
Leano: (Just go with it. I don't wanna risk polluting the timestream).
TL: Fine. (Deep breath). H-Hi, uh, Legoshi, kid who definitely isn't me! Nice to meet you!
Leano: Be nice, Legoshi. Say hi to your brother.
KL: Uh... h-hi, bro.
Leano: So where're you headed, L--Armgoshi?
TL: Gonna have supper with my girlfriend and her family. Y'know... the dwarf rabbit you said looked good enough to eat?
Leano (blushes): Right... my bad. So how're things going between you two?
TL: We've had our ups and downs. Thank Rex for counseling. What about you? How're things going with Grandpa and... Legoshi?
Leano: Better than ever. I've been seeing a shrink after Dad saved me that one time. I even got your father to acknowledge you as his son.
TL: Hold up. Didn't you say you were visiting from the afterlife?
Leano: Slipped my mind. For all you know, we're just a figment of your imagination, a reminder to lay off the silvervine and all that.
TL: Fair enough.
Leano: Will you invite us to your wedding?
TL: Two words: time paradox.
Leano: Never mind.
KL: You ok, Mom?
Leano: Y-Yeah... well, nice talking to you, Armgoshi. I promised your brother I'd take him to the park to catch butterflies. It's for show and tell or something.
TL: Cool. See you around. (Leano and KL leave). Phew! Dodged a bullet there. Should've learned my lesson last week, when Kid Louis and Young Ibuki invited me and the boys go-carting. Guess what they say is true: space is warped and time is bendable... that, or Ita-san's having another fever dream. Sure hope it's the latter... (Leaves).
