[The bright sun, blue sky, even the odd cloud dotted here and there. Whoever is holding the journal is doing a pretty good job of capturing the good weather right now.]

After all the rain and wind last week it's this sort of sunshine that really makes Fuuko think of summer.

[The journal soon pulls back to show that the sky is being recorded through a massive hole in the roof of one of house 26's upstairs bedrooms.]

However Fuuko really does not want to enjoy summer whilst still being inside like this! Most of the water has dried away or has been mopped up but this thing is still here! Even if Fuuko was low on money and couldn't afford AC this would be a very extreme solution. And even then money isn't a problem so why is this hole still here?!

[Normally these things see to themselves, but nope. Still a hole. The bedroom is still a complete wreck too, with debris and bits of glass and the door frame scattered about all over.]

If anyone knows anything about fixing things like this then Fuuko would appreciate a little of your time. Fuuko will even prepare something to give to your for your trouble, something very delicious!

[Oh, and quickly adding in at the end--]

Also, Fuuko hopes everyone who went into space returned home safely! If you all want something delicious too then please come to house 26, there's going to be more than enough for anyone who wants some. Fuuko will make sure of that!

[Action]

[The 'something very delicious' Fuuko was referring to is starfish shaped bread. Giant loaves of it. There's only so much of the stuff she can make before she needs more ingredients though so she's out around the village to pick up some more.

... But she couldn't just leave all the bread she had recently baked alone in the house. Even if Kotomi and Nagisa are there who knows what could come through that hole in the roof! As such, Fuuko is carrying a bag of freshly baked starfish bread around with her. Don't you just love the smell of bread that's just come out of the oven? It's still a little warm too!]

[Well it looks fine right now. He's using a hammer and nothing seems to be-- FFFFWHAT?! NO no no no no that's not how DIY should work!!

Fuuko jumps and looks at Grune with a worried expression, then back at Walter so she can catch him in case he decides to punch her home again. No Grune, some guy is punching stuff instead of using tools. To some it might look cool or 'good' but Fuuko is very unsure.]

[Grune looks back with her typical unconcerned expression. She sees nothing at all wrong with Walter punching Fuuko's house--after all, he's a very good iron eren!]

[Don't worry too much about your house, Fuuko; Walter's done this stuff before! He punches the brace again before letting his hands drop, seeing how the new reinforcement supports the beam. Once he's satisfied, he starts adding insulation to the hole.]

[SCREAM HE DID IT AGAIN! ... And yet neither Grune or Walter seem all that bothered by this. She still looks as worried as she did before, but at least she didn't jump this time.]

Do you really have to punch it like that? Is this perhaps how construction work happens on the Legacy Grune-san told Fuuko about and Fuuko never knew?

[Punching things may not be typical construction protocol even on the Legacy, but Grune still has complete faith in Walter.]

It's all right, Fuuko. Walter is using his eres. He's very good at them.

[Fortunately for Fuuko, Walter's done with the punching. After he's done adding the insulation, he's sealing the hole with two wooden boards slipped inside. Putty covers the hole, though it doesn't blend with the paint used.

He considers using a combination of Eferin and Kipinn to speed up the drying process.]

I-If you're really sure it's fine then Fuuko will try not to worry about it.

[Try. Try.

Looks like Fuuko might have to consider finding some extra paint to make the room a little more respectable.]

Fuuko will have to remember to bring home some paint along with the rest of the groceries.

[Ping!]

Oh, I wonder what colours we should get.

[Look out, Fuuko, or you'll have a mural on your hands.]

[In the end, Walter decides not to use the spirits to speed up the drying process; he's at least mindful enough about trying not to make the damage worse by ... well, burning down the house.

Once he's finished though, he starts over to the door to report that the job was done. He doesn't even have to open the door the entire way to see the girls.]

You didn't go far at all.

[He doesn't sound angry. Just ... stern.]

The point is that Fuuko and Grune-san were out of the way. You never said anything about how far out of the way Fuuko and Grune-san had to go!

[So their being where they are is totally justified okay.]

Fuuko thinks the room would look fine being painted pale yellow, or green. [So either the colour the room was before or a colour she likes.] However Fuuko is open to both of your opinions on what colour the room should be.

[You're asking the green lady? Although actually, her answer is:] Oh, both colours would be very pretty.

[Walter makes a face at Fuuko's comment, but just shakes his head. If they wanted to chatter like little girls in the hallway, whatever.

As for painting her room...] Go with the color you want it to be. You're the one living in it.

[Both of your inputs are incredibly valued and will be taken into consideration when the time comes for Fuuko to choose what paint to use...]

Fuuko agrees that both colours would look beautiful. However, Fuuko does not live in this bedroom. Fuuko's bedroom is downstairs. If Fuuko could somehow figure out who would be staying in this room next then Fuuko would ask them what colour they would like it.

[But alas, she is not psychic.]

Oh, is it a bedroom for your friends to stay in?

[Walter remains silent for a moment.]

Then paint it white and let whoever moves in choose the new color. [Never mind that white is a perfectly viable color to live with.]
