That sounds kinda nice actually. [The pasture is always greener on the other side, y'know.]

When I was old enough to take care of my brothers myself, I started an odd jobs business out of our place and it was kinda similar to what you're saying. Get up early, make sure they were ready for school, do whatever jobs came in and when they returned we did our chores together and everything.

[Crow sounds exasperated for sure, but Ichiro can hear the reverence in his voice.] It's rewarding though, isn't it? The hard work?
