"In this moment of tranquility...I realize, that this...is goodbye."

Try as I might, I cannot hear the n in "Mange" in this song, except in the beginning. Not in the chorus. I'd need more practice to speak Swedish, I suppose

The thing is, everything would have changed even if you had never left Chicago. Time passes, peoples priorities shift and different things become important. The changes are always hard, and probably harder for you because they'll be less gradual (more like ripping a bandaid off, really). But, in the end, you'll be fine. You'll make new friends in Chicago proper through the connections you make there. And you're probably better for your 3 years in Japan because you have experience adapting to a new environment.

That being said, Katie Sullivan now lives downtown and Mandy Capistron, who Rachel met before also said she'd be glad to hang with you guys when you get back. Let me know if you need some phone numbers :)

That's true, but the main problem is that it is so abrupt. Having not been home at all, my image of stuff there is still fixed as it was when I left.

Then again, I've always been "I doubt I'll make any friends...", so far, I've been wrong about it in university, in Ireland and in Japan, so I'll probably be wrong about it in Chicago too.

We have hover-cars now, bro.

American hover-cars vs. Japanese sex robots. Decisions, decisions...

Choose wisely for the true grail will bring you life. The false grail will take it from you!
