[This gray, snowy day finds Ryuhou sitting out on his porch step, a note held in his hands. His eyes scan over the words several times as though he can't believe them.

Finally, he stands, crumpling the paper in his fist, stalking toward the edge of town. He doesn't seem to notice the cold as the wind whips his thin uniform jacket around him.]

I want to... hit something. That's more Kazuma's style, but now I understand why. I'm going to explode if I don't.

[He nods quickly, jerkily.] I know that. I know. Still means I won't ever see him again. Same thing in the end.

Maybe. He probably doesn't even remember being here. [He takes a deep, shuddering breath.] It'll be the same for me, when I go.

Yeah, but you remember now and now's all that matters. Might not get a tomorrow. The village could be burned down tomorrow. Brain-eating virus could turn your brain inta soup tomorrow. You remember him today. You guys had fun, you were happy. Hell, you were happy 'nough ta put up with me and play along with me bein' a pain in the ass.
