52. 2 A.M. I swear I might propose

[The Edensphere journals are quieter than they were while the Sphere was still as it was before becoming a dreamscape. However, writing does occasionally come across them.]

If anybody out there is reading this... this is Simon.

[A pause, then the rest is written in an excited rush.]

Tonight, I asked Kaylee if she would marry me.

She said yes.

[Yamazaki hasn't written a word in the journal since he left, but he does still check it periodically. Just in case something comes up that concerns him. This... doesn't really concern him at all, but it's still a pretty big announcement. So.]

Congratulations.

Susumu! Thank you, and I am glad to see that you are still well.

[notpissedoff]

Well enough. Sounds like you're not doing too badly, either.

Compared to everything that came before, my life has been relatively stable and quiet. I believe I like it that way.

Inara says hello, by the way.

[notpissedoff]

I can't say the same, but it's still preferable to amnesia.

[There's quite a pause.]

Tell her I wish her well, and... [why is this so hard] thank her for me.

[pompous_today]

Can't argue with that.

Of course. She says she still thinks of you and everyone else often.

[notpissedoff]

...

She was missed.

Good luck with everything.

[pompous_today]

Thank you.

I am just glad she remembered all of us. It would have be strange if Qi and I were the only ones...

[notpissedoff]

Yes. You have one less person who thinks you've lost your wits when you talk about a giant tree and floating islands.
