April first already... how time flies.

[Private]

This will be the third year since then, won't it? I wonder if he would even remember me anymore. Maybe the professor was right... maybe I should just let go and move on. Some days, I feel like I could, but others... haven't I come too far to turn back now? Am I foolish for clinging to hope like this?

...How can I even think such things on today, of all days? I must just be tired.

Wherever you are, even if you don't remember... happy birthday.

I apologize if I've worried anyone this past week. [There's a small pause before she continues, her tone softer.] Especially you, Bang. But I'm feeling much better now.

Yes, but I'll be alright. It's all healing just fine.

In hindsight, I really shouldn't have overestimated my own ability like that.

I'm glad to hear that you're healing well, but--was it those murderers?

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

...Yes. I went to see if anyone else was in need of help and ended up running into them myself.

If it weren't for a friend of mine... I'm not sure I would have survived.

Needless killing and violence... [China makes a small, angry noise.]

...It's good that your friend was there. I wish I could do something but--mrrgh. In comparison to many here with their abilities, I'm weak.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

I think most of us are "weak" compared to the raw power a few have here. I've never had any trouble defending myself before this, but...

[She cuts herself off with a short sigh.] It's frustrating that anyone would use such strength for such a terrible purpose.

It's unfortunate, but there are always some people who would do such horrible things. I suppose some of them being trapped in this place with us was bound to happen.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

I suppose you're right. I wish there was something more that I could do, but... I'm afraid this is just out of my league.

[Voice]

Yours and mine both. I suppose we may have to leave it up to one of the groups around here. [There's a bit of disdain as he mentions them, however.]

Aiyah...I hate not being able to do anything.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

It's a relief, at least, knowing that there are some people here using their strengths for good.

[Voice]

[4000ages.livejournal.com]

Yes--it's something to put peoples' minds more at ease. I hope they succeed.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

Yes, I do too.

In the meantime, though... please be careful, Yao.

I will, Litchi. No need to worry about me.
