Honestly, it's hard to tell which one of them is the real Japanese here.
But then again, I have no room to talk. I'm the guy who has his little sister Hina arrange his shoes for him at home. I couldn't say anything to Akane-san about it even if I wanted to.
"How have things been, Souichirou? I heard your house was destroyed."
"They're currently clearing the rubble. Rebuilding will start soon, but it'll probably take until June or July to finish everything."
"Hmm, that's quite a while. I suppose rebuilding from scratch does take time… Are you managing financially?"
"Yes, there's no need for concern."
"That's good to hear."
