Don't you think its kind of funny, what you miss the most from home?  I mean, sure, I miss Mom and Dad and all my friends.  But I keep thinking about all the other things from home. Just strange little things, but it kind of hurts to think that I might never get to see them again

I can understand that. It's the little things you end up missing the most, because they're what defines your life the most!

...That last one's pushing it, though.

[not_takatomon]

It is? Ms. Asaji always worried about us so much.

[mischiefbreeder]

Most kids are glad they don't have to listen to their teachers lecture them anymore...

[not_takatomon]

She only lectured us because she wanted us to do better, though. And I did daydream an awful lot.

[mischiefbreeder]

Daydreaming's good for the mind! Keeps the imagination fresh and moving!

[not_takatomon]

Maybe I should stop daydreaming, then. My imagination is already pretty active!

[mischiefbreeder]

No such thing as being too active, if you ask me!

[not_takatomon]

Well, sometimes the things I dream become too real.

[mischiefbreeder]

That right there's just called not having a strong sense of what's reality and what's fantasy.

[not_takatomon]

No, I mean they really became real. One of my dreams became my best friend.

[mischiefbreeder]

...L-look, goggle lad, you gotta understand that imaginary friends may seem real but they're really not there.

[not_takatomon]

Though Mr. Shibumi told me once that maybe he dreamed me first.

[mischiefbreeder]

...How can an imaginary friend imagine the real person first?

[not_takatomon]

He's not an imaginary friend. He's my best friend. And my partner.

[mischiefbreeder]

...So you dreamed up your partner.

[not_takatomon]

In a way?
