In a few days it'll be a year since I've come to Discedo.

I've learned a lot, and my hair's gotten longer than it's ever been before. I wonder what my brother would say if he saw me now.

I'm glad my friend's violin is still ok. Too bad I don't really know how to play it. Just the little bit she taught me before I left.

... Rico.

Would you consider moving yourself in with Gokudera?

[piccolo_rico]

I'd be ok with it. But I'd still be worried about you.

[7th_warrant]

... I'll be alright. I just... need to be by myself for awhile.

[piccolo_rico]

Ok. I'll ask him this week.

That is a long time...

How are you faring, Signorina Rico?

[Italiano]

[piccolo_rico]

It doesn't feel as long it sounds.

I'm alright, but things are a little gloomy here. Much of my guardian's family has gone home.

[Italiano]

[betrayedblade]

I suppose it hardly ever does. But still... so much time away from home. To think upon it...

I am sorry for your loss. But...have hope for act of being allowed back home.

[piccolo_rico]

Normally I don't even think about it much. Best not to dwell on what you can't control.

It's ok. I'm more worried about him than anything.

Ask for a violin teacher?

[piccolo_rico]

I've never been very good at asking people for help.

[rules_the_north]

Broadcast yourself playing and hope for an offer.

[turneverystone]

There isn't anyone in the city who could teach you how to play?

[piccolo_rico]

I'm not sure. Most of the musicians I've seen here are pianists or guitarists.

[turneverystone]

Ah, I see. Well, maybe someone will hear your message and respond.

A year... I wonder if I'll be here that long.

[piccolo_rico]

I never imagined I would. But there are people who've been here a lot longer than me.

[mizu_isei]

I've heard... about two years? That's a long time to be here. Half a year already seems long.
