(ooc: Anyone needing to contact Japan in his games can assume this post acts like a call to his communicator/whatever! Just add the date at the top. ♥)

My apologies... I have festivals for many things, and since a certain year, viewing the moon has only meant sad thoughts for me. ...That is not to say I don't enjoy it. I simply did not wish to weigh them on Marco.

Trust me to lift the things on your mind. Even when I'm dense, it's not because I can't handle it.

[... He pulls away and leans up for a light kiss.]
Thank you. This was truly kind. Ah... I would like to view the moon with Marco now, if it is not too late to ask.

[Tickles under his chin and leads out to the deck of the observatory.]

...Thank you.

Mm-hm, just let me stay by you. [Holds his hand and walks along.]

The moon... It was beautiful. He enjoyed viewing it. But with everything that had been going on lately... All he could think of was things he 'didn't regret'. He didn't know if he regretted them anymore.
China no longer viewed him as a brother. Wasn't that what he had been saying all along, though? So why did looking up at these alien moons that were so different give him such a sad feeling. Why was Marco willing to stand beside him. . .]

Ne, Bushido, what do you see when you look at the moons?

There is no rabbit pattern like the moon at home... But it still reminds me of viewing the moon with that person. [He means China.] ...Deciding that we were so very different, that we could not even agree while we looked at the moon... That he would not listen to what I was saying and it irritated me that far...
[A slow sigh.]
I think of the past. I see the past, that is, both recent and distant. It is difficult to avoid. Memories are so clear when they are so important towards what I have become... I could not forget them if I tried.
What does Marco see?

A bit of all three, past, present, and future, eh?
The white moon always reminds me of Pops. He liked white things to go with his nickname. That's why our ship was the Moby Dick. And then the blue moon reminds me that I'm here and now and that there's two... it makes me think how I'm blue and I've got you, eh? Which makes me look to the future too, because I want to take you to see my world and then yours.

He half raises a hand, but then changes his mind and lowers his head. That hovering hand covers his face to try and hide his eyes. Because true Japanese men don't cry or anything, right... Not in the middle of a conversation, in the middle of such a nice moment...]
How is it... that I am always forgiven? [That hand over his face tightens its grip just a bit. He must look ridiculous.]
I have done nothing but push others away from me, both intentionally and without meaning to. How is it that Marco... [It was stupid... Those handcuffs, that slap to prove a point? Why?] ...is still here?
