34.

While the disappearances of those close to us here can be hurtful, I suppose, in a way, we should also be grateful. Especially when the one who was returned is a child. I'm sure she'll be happier back at home.

It seems I have run out of books to read. If anyone has any suggestions that I might be able to find here, I would greatly appreciate

You're right. She'll probably be much happier and safer a home.

[dr_seahorse]

It will most likely be better for her as well.

/slaps T key

[icyconformist]

I sincerely doubt this city would be better for anyone.

;-; poor T...

[dr_seahorse]

I suppose you have a point.

IT KNOWS IT WAS NAUGHTY. Tch, running away from home....

[icyconformist]

The "vacation" part, if you want to call it that, is over for me. I'd like to go home.

[ Yes, he's aware Hatori can't do anything about it. ]

=O How could it!

[dr_seahorse]

I'm sure there are many who would feel that way.

"And the poor little T Key was never heard from again."

[icyconformist]

...And you?

I will go to its funeral

[dr_seahorse]

There are things I would prefer, yes.

Will you bring flowers?

[icyconformist]

[...]

Is leaving among them?

Of course

[dr_seahorse]

Yes, though, seeing as I am unable to do anything about that, it would be best for me not to dwell on it too much.

Then I suppose you will also be paying for the funeral. :>b

[icyconformist]

You wouldn't feel guilty about leaving others behind?

w-what, why?

[dr_seahorse]

That is another reason why going back home at this time would be hard for me to do.

Because you are the only one who cares about the dead T Key. :> Therefore, the bills are yours.

[icyconformist]

...It would be healthier for you, though. You're getting overworked again.

=< But, but it's your T key!

[dr_seahorse]

Our presence here has no affect back home. If I returned, it would most likely be the same.

It is now your responsibility. :|

[icyconformist]

...That's not what I mean. You're getting overworked here. Back home, you weren't nearly so overworked.

;-;

[dr_seahorse]

There were times where I was just as busy. It isn't anything I'm not used to.
