Amemura-kun and I are...better than we usually are. We had a long talk in my apartment after I apparently tried to drink myself to death at the christmas party.

So yes, in a sense. I think I do miss what the four of us had two years ago. We were very close.

[There is a fond smile at the mention of Hifumi.]

Hifumi-kun is one of my current members. Doppo-kun isn't here. But the two of them mean a lot to me, as much as The Dirty Dawg did.

[He brings her hand up to kiss it.]

I ama simple and easy to please sort of person, I like to think. So getting to spend time on things I love...like working, or reading a good book, or even just taking a day to do things for myself-- even if that is rare. Those sorts of things are the things that make me the happiest.

[He really is an old man, in some respect.]

It is mind boggling to me that I will be spending my thirty-sixth birthday here.
