[The video shows a handsome young man, probably in his early twenties, kneeling on the ground watering some flowers. He's wearing glasses, and black robes that most Japanese characters will recognize as the ones that Buddhist monks of the region wear. He also has a shaved head, although some blue hair is beginning to grow back.

It continues to show him gardening for a while (in case you ever wanted to see him kneeling in the dirt) before cutting out. There's apparently not much point to this, other than showing that a) Issei grows up well and b) he's really going to shave his head.]

He says he doesn't know anyone who looks like that, although it sort of resembles him when he was younger, but not enough to actually be him. Hm.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

How odd. I wonder what it could be, then, if it is not the past...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...I've just been informed that it's my future self.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Future self?

2/2

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Why, dear, you turn into such a fine man. I had no doubt!

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I, I do? Well, thank you, then. I suppose.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. I'm glad; you look healthy and content.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...It does look that way, doesn't it.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Although it could be just that I like gardening.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

That too.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Perhaps a bit of both?

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Yes. Doing what you love is always good for happiness.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Then I think that I'll do fine.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Very good.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...Strange, but it's nice to get some reassurance about your future.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

I agree. I'm glad for you, Issei-kun. Truly.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Tendou.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, Issei-kun.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It doesn't appear that you have a video, which is good.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, though all of this does have me wondering what the future has in store...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll find plenty of happiness.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And we do know you will~

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It could have just been a good day. But by the same token, we shouldn't assume those with sad videos will have sad futures on the whole.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Yes. You seem healthy and it was quite peaceful. Even if there is trouble, you will know there are happy days as well. The same for the others.

Tamaki-san has made a post in much like mind.
