[minus5pts]

Under Kaku-san's advice, I spent the afternoon reading through the entries and comments in this journal. While it's true that this journal's previous owner also called himself Kuroyanagi Ryou, and was also apparently traveling aboard this ship, I find little other resemblance.

It wasn't that long ago when I was twelve. But back then...

...

Back then I hadn't decided on my goals.

[minus5pts]

Your goals, Sir? Surely our goals change as we age? Or are these goals that you've had for a long time, now?

[black_hat_cat]

I'm twenty-nine, and when I was twelve I was much less educated and experienced than I am now. It's also probable that I'm much easier to put up with than I was then.

I've been told that children are pretty difficult to put up with, so I'm sure you're not the only one, Lucci-san.

[black_hat_cat]

That is true. I don't bite people anymore unless they deserve it, for one thing.

[fairy_script]

I'm seventeen! Um...what I was like when I was twelve kind of depends on whether it was earlier in the year or later.

[minus5pts]

Really, Levi-san? Did you change a lot that year?

[fairy_script]

Yeah, I did. But I think I changed back in some ways since then.

[doubleppk]

That's strangely adorable by the way.

[agent_wolf]

It is?

[doubleppk]

Yeah I dunno. It makes me wish I could have known you when you were younger.

[caffinatekillua]

I'm waaaaaaaay stronger now.

[minus5pts]

Stronger, Killua-san? I'm not used to people describing their accomplishments that way.

[caffinatekillua]

Well since I'm training that's the goal.
