I'm in the sixth grade there, but the classes are boring. American schools are easier than Japanese. I already learned what we're studying.

He sounds very kind.

[memoryofmyself]

[ Like a boss creeper. ]

He was.

[hungry_monster]

[Totally like a creeper.]

Sometimes we get lucky with our family.

Perhaps you will see him here.

[Because goodness knows he's hoping Anna shows up one day.]

[memoryofmyself]

I won't.

[hungry_monster]

You know this?

[memoryofmyself]

He's dead. I'll never see him again.

[hungry_monster]

I'm sorry to hear that. It must have been a terrible loss.

[And he sounds like he means it. Blending the right mix of sympathy and kindness without sounding pitying....it's a shame he doesn't mean a word of it.]

[memoryofmyself]

I don't need your apologies. [ H-he's kind of tsun. orz ]

[hungry_monster]

[ subject change! ]

When do you start teaching?

[hungry_monster]

[He'll accept this]

I started here a few days ago. At home I've helped out in a few classes and groups but I'm still a student.

[memoryofmyself]

That's why I didn't see you. I stayed home.

A student teacher, then?

[hungry_monster]

Something like that.

A law student but I've always enjoyed working with children.
