Forty-second lotus

[spandexisyouth]

[Early on the 27th.]I have been here for two years now. It has been an honor to make what friends I have. It is not good to be taken away to a place you do not know, but it is made better by the company. I do not know what tomorrow will bring, especially here, but I am glad to be part of it. And perhaps there will once more be singing bananas next

Da

Gai-sensei. You did not have to tell anyone about this. You did not know so it was not a lie.

For over a year I told these people that I had a son, and some of us even strengthened relationships based on that. I mislead them and I owed them an apology, Spring. I wrote about it on the journals and so it makes sense that I apologize on the journals as well.

[awokentospring]

I think you are blaming yourself for something that is not your fault. You say it is a lie, but you did not know, unlike me who. Did. Or at least I guessed right and did not bring it up openly with you when I should have.

You should not have to apologize.

[spandexisyouth]

You knew? How long did you know for? Or guess for?

[awokentospring]

I guessed very early on. After I saw that... awkward memory.

You were definitely not old enough to have fathered someone my age, Dad.

But

Time

I guess I do not have any protests that I can make. We know that I did not.

[awokentospring]

Do not be sad, Gai-sensei. You are still my father in my heart.

[spandexisyouth]

Thank you, Spring. I still feel as if you are my son, in my heart.

[awokentospring]

Then we are in agreement here, I think.

[spandexisyouth]

Good.
