So... to anybody who put up with me during all that shit, just forget all of it ever happened.

Oh, Ichigo! I'm glad you're back to yourself again!

[You were a worrisomely depressed kid!]

[slaythemoon]

You and me both! That really wasn't something I wanted to relive.

[calamitousnaiad]

I'm sure it wasn't. This place certainly has an odd way of trying to get to us.

[slaythemoon]

[That worrisome depressed kid only grew up into a slightly worrisome and on occasion :( teenager. This is one of the :( times.]

...you don't know the half of it.

[calamitousnaiad]

... do you want to talk about it?

[slaythemoon]

There's really not much to say.

The river I couldn't see and the girl who was going to jump... that was June 17th. It was the day mom died.

[calamitousnaiad]

I'm so sorry, Ichigo. That must have been so difficult, especially at that age.

[slaythemoon]

I guess so...

[But at least now she won't hold it against him if he bails out of everything when that date rolls around.]

[calamitousnaiad]

It must have been a terrible tragedy. But although it's no consolation for your loss, it has made you stronger. I'm sure that's what your mother would have wanted in her absence.

[slaythemoon]

Sometimes I wonder about that... but when I get home, I'm gonna make Grand Fisher pay for what he did.

[calamitousnaiad]

...

Is that the name of the one who killed her?

[slaythemoon]

...yeah. All because I saw the stupid lure and thought it was a girl.
