...I kind of don't like how this came out...The others will be longer and much more rounded out, I promise.
I knew you before I saw you, before you were even born. And yet you've become so much different than what I knew. You've naturally inherited some of Julia's stronger qualities, being the possessor of her pure soul; but your kindness, patience, and love are your own, driven by separate aspirations and wishes. The reasons may be similar, but the execution is different, and that is where your individuality lies. I know others look at you and see Julia; I know others look at you and compare you to Julia as well. I look at you and see Yuuri, the twenty-seventh Maou Heika of Shin Makoku, and the greatest one thus far. I see a boy who is influenced by both the Mazoku and human worlds, who is growing into a man who will use this influence to bring peace to the nations.
"Conrad!" I hear your voice call out to me, and I see you in the distance, waving your baseball mitt. "Let's play!"
"Coming, Heika," I call back.
"That's Yuuri!"
I knew you before I saw you, but I'm glad I get to meet you all over again. Because now I have more memories to cherish and remember- from both Julia and you.
