[There appears to have been a card taped flat to Natsumi's door this morning. "Congratulations on sort of surviving another year!" If you know where she stays or happen to wander by, she's still trying to peel it off.]

Honestly ...

Congratulations!

[ridestherider]

Airi-san. ... thank you.

[coffeejesus]

How have you been?

[ridestherider]

I've been fine. It's been kind of peaceful around here, lately. How are you?

[coffeejesus]

I'm fine. It's very fun to be here.

[ridestherider]

... admittedly, I'm starting to get comfortable here.

[coffeejesus]

Mm, most of the people that I care about are here.

[ridestherider]

I miss the people who aren't here, but ... there are people who are important to me now that are.

[coffeejesus]

That's a good thing, isn't it?

[ridestherider]

For now, it is, I suppose.

[coffeejesus]

Suppose?

[ridestherider]

When I finally get to go back to where I was before I came here ...

[coffeejesus]

Yes?

[ridestherider]

I'd have to leave them.

[coffeejesus]

. . . that's true.

[ridestherider]

It complicates things.
