[It's midafternoon, and Simon is down by the river, half-hidden under one of the bridges with drill in hand and his goggles lit. Lining the side of the bank are a collection of little stone statues, resembling these here. Not all of them are Kamina, of course; these all resemble people he knew who have been sent home, including but not limited to ( Read more... )

[Someone sounds a tad depressed.]

Is there still room in the building all the kids are moving to? I think... I'm gonna go there, too. I don't want to stay here anymore.
