Writing so that people can see it is strange...isn't this sort of thing meant to be private? I'd rather speak to you all.

[In bigger handwriting:]

KEEP THIS PART PRIVATE!

[Back to her regular writing!]

Did you know? The stars are stairs.
I climbed a hundred stars
Just to wish you goodbye

[Paaaause, then:]

What do you mean I can't keep it

[flustered little inkblot.]

Goodbye? This is Aimo again--

it's still very pretty when you write it [crossed out so as not to imply goodbye doesn't know what she's talking about skjdf]

What I mean is! I hope everyone gets to hear your voice, then. I know they will, because you're... you.

[ofsong]

Mmm...

[hesitant writing because she's not sure why she's asking this]

What about your voice, Aimo?

[ofgreen]

Mine--

[HAVE MORE INKBLOTS]

I get the feeling people liked hearing it, too. Even if I don't know how I was brave enough. But you were in my dream, and helped me, so thank you!

[ofsong]

Dreams

[for a long moment, that's all she writes, before finally she continues]

should be private things, I think. Especially these, that are all we have! But since we were born together, I'll tell you a little of mine: you were there, too. And you were brave enough.

[inthecenterfold]

Only for our ears to hear? You got like a pretty voice or something?

[ofsong]

I was born singing. If I didn't have the voice for it, it wouldn't be so important.

[inthecenterfold]

Well now. I'd love to hear you sing sometime, Miss Goodbye. I run the bar around here. I had a karaoke machine and stage too.

[ofsong]

You had a karaoke machine?

...A bar does need a singer.

[armedsalvation]

It's a beautiful song, Goodbye.

-ZERO

[ofsong]

Only once I sing it.

[armedsalvation]

Are you going to write the music too?

[ofsong]

I might need a little help.
