I didn't?
[ He glances up towards the ceiling, thinking back. ]
Ah, suppose I didn't. I get a little caught up in work, you know?
[ Said with a smile, as if he's being accused of skipping one cheeky night's worth of sleep and not...many. So many.
But he isn't denying it, either. ]

Work for the clinic, of course.
[ Seeing no danger, he'll just go right into rattling things off. ]
I had help with the more clerical side of things back home, but here I have to run all of the numbers--how much of certain supplies we have, how much we use in a day, that sort of thing. I also keep detailed records on every patient, as you know, and what concerns they come to me with just in case there turns out to be something special I need to work with them on, or if there's another odd epidemic on the rise. That's become a much more involved process with new species from new worlds with their own sets of rules to take into consideration.

[ Throughout Akira's explanation, Haruaki takes a seat across the table from him, chin resting on his palms as he watches and listens carefully.
He'd never tell Akira not to be as dedicated to his work as he is, especially not in a place like this that needs him, but at the same time... ]
There is a lot to do... Have you tried asking anyone for help?

Oniisan, you don't have spiritual energy reserves like I do! Not to mention with how used to your sleeping rhythm your body is, it'll get to you so much faster!
[ Ope, Hana's officially awake now. What's wrong, what are papas talking about so early in the morning? ]

[ This...this devious, dastardly, underhanded snake of a man...!
In the next few seconds he tries his hardest to come up with something, anything to strike back with, but...well. Maybe lack of sleep really is taking its toll.
With a sigh, he slumps. ]
Fine. Fine, alright, we have a deal.

[ Yay! Operation: Bedtime is go!
Haruaki isn't going to gloat about his victory, though.
(Not right now. Not in front of Akira. He is absolutely going to gloat privately to someone else.)
No, instead he only reaches across the table and pats Akira's hand soothingly. ]
I know why you push yourself so hard, Akira-kun, but you have to start taking better care of yourself, too. If I was doing what you're doing, you'd tell me the same thing. Right?
