I am interrupting the village's recent bout of emowangst drama to present one Nara Shikamaru with his birthday present. I bought
this for you, Shikamaru -- not because I will enjoy seeing the look on your face when you get it, but because I'm a friend and I care.
Feel free to distribute it around the village as you see fit. I don't think it would hurt anyone to read it.
Can I borrow it when you're done?
