I...

[There's a long pause, so quiet that soft breathing can be heard, along with a rumor of waves in the background.]

...I don't even have words.

Was I really like that once? That... insufferable?

[A little laugh, obviously bitter, but faking it well.] You don't have to answer that for me. But it means I'm a better person now, right

No one's gladder than me, trust me.

Though I have to disagree: A LOT OF HARM was done.

[soulofocean]

Like a year and so now. Before Cephiro. You know what they say about traumatic circumstances changing people.

[soulofocean]

Does it make any difference? Even if it'd happened DECADES ago, this place's stupid curse would have still brought it back.

[soulofocean]

Konata? What is it?

[soulofocean]

Hey, what's to change about you? You're helpful, a great friend, you're always there for those who need you and got more patience than an elementary school teacher.

If you ask me, I'd rather you stayed like this for good.

[soulofocean]

Minor details, Konata. Don't compare yourself to the hissy mess I used to be, now you got a closer look at it.

And if your sensei complains, tell her how bad she could have had if she'd taught at MY school.

[soulofocean]

That's good absolutely every day.

[soulofocean]

That never bothered me, not even before ice was... you know. Häagen-Dazs is a go every day.
