no subject
Can't you visit sometime?
no subject
No, I can't.
no subject
You could probably see some of the kids from there again, at least.

You were the exact same as a kid, huh.
no subject
but they're also precious in the way that he tends to get with makoto: he's a little protective. a little embarrassed. ]
