the things gloomy tolerates for his research

[dailymarshtomp]

huh, i thought i closed up for the day...

h-hey, are you okay??

i... need to lay down.

y...yeah, of course. the spare room's empty.

[dailymarshtomp]

why am i being made to help? is this not forced labour?

you could say no if you really wanted to, leo. but this is a good way to get you out in the sunlight for some fresh air instead of being locked inside with your research all the time.

i do not need sunlight or air. i am doing this because you are my friend.

aw, that's very kind of you. in that case, i would appreciate your help for just a bit longer.

[dailymarshtomp]

when are you coming home

[dailymarshtomp]

i always feared this would happen... that they would forget about me...

oh, leo...

[dailymarshtomp]

just looking at them, it was hard not to think they are what i should have been, if i had just been 'normal.' of course, i want the young masters to be able to move on from... from losing so many family members, but this... is not how i imagined it.

i'm sure that's not true, leo...

i'm... tired, mikan. i think i should try to rest now. my research will not wait for me.

well... alright. if you say so.

[dailymarshtomp]

so, what will you do now?

...i'm going to finish my research. that's all that matters right now.

leo... you know you'll always have a place here, right?
