Is everything... OK, Mukahi-san? Are you sure you want to leave tennis? It won't be the same without you... And you're much better than you think you are!

Please take care of yourself. And don't forget about us.

Yeah, everything's okay. The year just feels like it flew by, with everything I'm trying not to think about much. Of course it wouldn't be the same without me! ;D But while I may be good, there are lots of people better, and here at Hyoutei... well if you're not at the top, you're a nobody. The acrobatics is why I play tennis anyway, might as well focus in on what I really like, right?

Thanks Choutarou. Heh, like I said, there's no way I could forget.

[ikkyuunyuu_kon]

That is true... You really are good at acrobatics! And if that makes you happy then you should do that. :) I just hope that it does make you happy.

You're welcome. ^^ I'm really glad to hear that. I was worried for a moment.

...I... see. Well, I do wish you'd spoken to me about it before I saw it here, but what's done is done, I suppose. It appears I can't change your mind either, though I dearly wish I could.

[ooc: Uh... what he said.]

Yuushi... It's not... That's the reason I didn't say anything. Because I know you'd want to talk me out of it. Look, I love playing doubles with you, I do. If I knew we'd be playing doubles together still, that might have factored in. But I can see the numbers, okay, and they don't add up. There are only seven spots on the regulars, and with the transfers and everything... I've been the weakest link on the team, how could I make it? And you know I don't like not being on top.

This wasn't a quick decision. I've thought a lot about it, been thinking about it for about five months now. Tennis isn't going to get me anywhere.

And I figured that... even if I'm not the team's bitchy redhead anymore... ah, nevermind.

Still, I'd have liked to think (perhaps egotistically) that my words meant something to you and would have had weight in this decision. Regardless of who comes into the team, you are my doubles partner. That wasn't changing.

I... would really rather talk about this face to face, if possible. Over the internet feels impersonal and cold.

[its_not_a_wig]

It would change if I couldn't get into the regulars! You can't play doubles with a pre-reg when you're a regular, Yuushi. I can't always depend on you, even though you're there.

Yeah, we can talk. I'm sorry, okay. It's just... I knew you'd want me to stay, and I wanted to decide for myself.

Giving up before you try?

[its_not_a_wig]

No, I'm moving on before I get stuck!
