welcome back lol
bread/toast as a quick breakfast is convenient but considering how much rice japan (and all of asia rly) consumes, surprised they wouldn't just buy like those 15 lb bags once a month or so and just use a rice cooker, so they don't have to worry about that in grocery shopping
lol i feel like if a neighbor did see/recognize them they'd be like 'finally' if not just still seeing him as a young kid like the mom did at the beginning
