Someone you know as well?

[negi_cure]

. . . Do you suppose they're alright?

[negi_cure]

[ffff what. taking Kotarou's picture and trying to rub some of the defacing stains and marks off :(]

[allbarkandbite]

Oi, what do you know about this?

[negi_cure]

I wish that I knew anything at all.

[allbarkandbite]

And the promise?

[negi_cure]

And . . . can I ask who the photograph you found was of?
