[Watch this just be me forever sob how lame... Okay anyway at some time tonight, not too terribly late, Japan will just send over a text with an attachment picture. It's that drawing of Marco's family he asked for a while back. I wish I had an awesome link. Alas I do not.
It's on paper but, with everything going on, sending it via communicator seemed like a good idea.]
I apologize for it taking so much longer than I intended.

I'd rather hear.
He's okay. I mean I left already, so I'm a little nervous, but jeez he was here a year and a half before I came. And he's traveled alone on the Grand Line...
[Good job Japan, now he's depressed, and trying to hide it.]

Not really. He'll probably go talk to more people thank Kaito now that the ship is just about repaired though.
I hope so.
Shit. He gets...
When he's happy, he's the life of the party, hangs out with everyone he can find and he's all smiles. But when he's depressed, he gets like me, only before I had Thatch in my life. Just sort of shuts out the world, sleeps more, and I feel like I can't get through to him like I used to. I used to think I didn't need to be Luffy to do that... now I'm not sure.

...I believe I can understand that sort of thing as well. Are we all like this, I wonder...? At one point or another... [The sad part, Japan is never the life of the party... BUT ANYWAY]
I used to worry when I could not assist a close friend. ...It is still a new thing to me. I wished to help, and yet, I could not-- this sort of thing occurs. ...Perhaps... quite often in my case... [oh he sounds so sad...]
But Marco has been better for Ace-kun than anyone here. Perhaps his bond is different than Ace-kun and Luffy-kun's, but it is equally important. There are things Ace-kun must sort out on his own, still, as well.
[It's like a combination of reassuring Marco and himself.]
Re: July 21st; videofierybluebirdJuly 25 2011, 01:17:41 UTC
[Lol Marco knows that Japan is just the way Marco is if he'd never had Thatch and Whitebeard. HE KNOWS.]
Yeah... [Actually cheers up from Japan's words.] That's how Ace is, isn't it? He has to work things out of himself before he'll believe anything, even when it's something that someone could help with. He'll be all right, he's a smart kid.
You help him plenty Japan. I was a little jealous when I first got here. I thought he'd found a way to replace me and the others.
July 21st; videoasideglanceJuly 25 2011, 01:27:57 UTC
Indeed. Ah... we can all help. Some more than others. But it is up to Ace-kun to take that help when it is needed, and do what he must without it, as well.
... Do you think so? Ah, but Ace-kun could never replace Marco. I am sure of that.
July 21st; videofierybluebirdJuly 25 2011, 01:39:28 UTC
Aye.
[Long pause of silence and Marco glances away.] Thank you... I suppose not, Whitebeard will always be his father. [There's a very dark growl at that, and then he just sighs.] But I couldn't save him either, so what right do I have to ask so much.
[Guh just... so depressed and leaning against the tree.]

Ah, how troubling... It seems in my attempt to ignore such thoughts, they were only brought out. I assure you they are nothing worth hearing.
Rather than speaking about that, how is Ace-kun? [changing the topic so obviously HE DOESN'T CARE]

Ah, I am certain he is fine. I simply wondered if there was anything interesting in the way of news...

[He frowns. What can he say? It was meant to be like this? That's insensitive. He pauses instead.]
No regrets. ...Wasn't that it?
