Like a horse galloping through the mid day sun, I sprint through backyards hopping over fences to make it to Kaze's humble abode. Fortunately it's roughly a ten minute walk to the place from Spectacle, so I was given the ample time to surpass him making my way to the front door. He tends to take his time walking so, if all goes well he'll arrive in about four minutes. Pulling from my bag a key to the place, I insert it and twist to unlock the door. The next order of business is to make my way to his bedroom. Despite entering it on a day to day basis, I can't help but get exhilarated coming in here. On the way I pass by my old bedroom.
Kaze is under the impression that I've moved away, but that comes with me being a little mischievous. I still live in this house, but not somewhere he could find me. In his room, I planted quite a few things over the years, and one of which is a hidden switch. As a Christmas present, I crafted and gifted him an accurate to life figurine of me in my gym uniform from my middle school days. Taking pictures in that almost suffocated me, but it was worth it. Wearing tight clothes might be a bit uncomfortable, but I guess the appeal partly comes from your figure being presented at all times. I wonder if bondage is similar as well, but I wouldn't be able to get out of that on my own. I'm not the best with knots after all.
He's had my figure on display on a shelf and takes good care of it along with the rest of his other figures. If you look closely, there's a tiny hole in the mouth of it. I pull my favorite mechanical pencil out from my bag and press on the eraser to bring out its led. Using that led, I push it against the roof of the other me's upper gum. The legs at the foot of the bed raise off the ground toward the ceiling making the bed stand vertical. The floor below opens up to regurgitate an elevator out of its opening. I make my way in, press the down arrow, and just like that, the room shifts back to how it was initially and the elevator goes down below the house to a hidden basement.
It took quite a while to remodel the place, but I was able to install some necessary facilities. This basement is made up of one center room and five other rooms: a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, training room, and my surveillance room. Aside from the bathroom, I've set up various cameras around the house to maintain my surveillance needs. Even the figurine has tiny cameras built in to its eyes. From the surveillance room I also have a button that deactivates the button inside of mini me's mouth. I don't have a name for that little me, but I've heard Kaze refer to it as Ero-Nee so I'm not sure if I should just accept that name or just come up with something on my own later.
I enter the bathroom and take off my disguise. After tossing it into the washing machine, I set up for a relaxing bath. There was still some time before our dinner date so I brainstormed conversation topics as I sat in the tub. I'm sensitive to temperature changes so I prefer my bath water to be cooler than most. When Kaze and I would bathe together, I'd have dibs on the temperature control but, he didn't mind. He's too considerate so he often makes his friends worry that people might take advantage of him. He should really think more about his actions.

The same time that Ame arrived home, Suzuki made it to her parents pastry shop. After stepping into the shop and then the kitchen, she notices her father mixing something in his white uniform.
"Welcome home, Suzuki. How was your date with that boy? Did you tie him down or what?"
"Shut up, you freak. What kind of father asks their daughter something like that? It was just a first date."
"What kind of- Just make sure you get him to cooperate willingly or your mother will end up doing things her way."
"I'm not having this conversation with you. Focus on work. I'm going to my room."
I leave the kitchen and head home. Home being up the stairs at the back of the building. I take off my shoes at the door and let my presence be known. "I'm home!"
There's no response so I figure Mother and Shinji are out grocery shopping or something. I make it to my bed so I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling with an unappealing solemn look on my face. "This feels gross. It's unfortunate, but how else am I supposed to protect you from my family?" If I keep this up, I'll start to grow wrinkles on my face. I grab a pillow from off the bed and sigh into it. I shouldn't be the one complaining. What I'm doing isn't all that better than my mother. I'm sorry, Kaze-kun...

Time passes and it's finally time for dinner. Kaze walks into the bathroom and I'm ready to make my appearance. I arise through the elevator and make my way to his room before sending it back down with another press on Ero-Nee's upper gum. I put my pencil back into my bag and head to the living room. I pull out my hand mirror from within my bag and check to see if there's any appearance changes I've gotta make in the meantime.
I'm wearing a slightly dark blue peplum styled shirt with my hair tied into a voluminous ponytail. My pale jeans add some light to the outfit considering my hair is jet black. "Kaze, you ready yet?!" I call out because there's nothing I need to change and quite frankly, I've been waiting for this half the day.
