[Kazuma was just reading a book in his room, when he heard a loud wailing from the other side of his door. It certainly gave him quite a fright and it sounded like...Tao? His journal picked up their conversation as he went to investigate]

Litchi. Litchi. One of his closest friends... someone he's known for almost the entire year he was at Luceti.
So gentle. So intelligent. So kind...
... And he never got the chance to learn more about her. He never got the chance to... understand who she was.

I know we've only just met but...if there's anything--or...well, I guess nothing can make this any better...but you're welcome to come by if you want someone to have a conversation with.
