It's been a while.
... if you don't have a Forge, I don't think it can send out those dreams. [Naruto sounds calm and quiet.]
It sucks getting a new one, but the dreams always happen around the same time, don't they? Not that there isn't other stuff we don't want the world to know about.
...
I was thinking. Dawn. If this is where she's supposed to be, then she'll be back. If it isn't. ... She missed her sister. I think she'd like to be with her. People should be with their families, if they can be.

Priscilla. Me and Sakura are gonna be patrol partners. I can take double shifts with Lavi, that's not a problem, but...
You need to partner me and Sakura.

That time of year again, huh? I didn't forget. I wouldn't forget. If you were here, I'd have something for you-- A present. That's what you do on birthdays. I never got to give you one. Missed your birthday on Atia too.
I've been too long in this place. It's not green or bright, not like home. People who think they've got things under control, I don't trust them anymore. Feels like they're letting the enemy in. Sakura died. No one could do a damn thing about it. I couldn't. After-- Dawn's gone too. Nagi. No one can ever do a damn thing. Just talk and talk over these pieces of shit and-- Pretend. And I'm just the same. Funny, isn't it? Too slow. Too late. Too useless. Where's the difference?
Maybe I can tell you this 'cause I know you won't hear it. Maybe you will.
...
I wish you were here, but really I hope you're somewhere better than this. I miss you. And mom. Every day. Be happy, please. Be happy.
Happy birthday, dad.
