[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.]

You are really going to shave your head...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I could have told you that even without seeing this. I'm a monk, it's traditional.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

That's right...it's still strange.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You don't think I should?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

You should do what you think it's right. It just surprised me.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

And why's that?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

I'm not totally sure. But you look happy, that what's matter.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does seem that way. Thank you.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Welcome. What Haruto said about it?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

He hasn't said anything.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

He didn't saw the post?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

He hasn't seen it, as far as I know.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

I wonder what he would think about it.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

There's not much to think. I become a monk and continue gardening, that's all.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

And you can still date him?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

We're Japanese monks. We're allowed to get married if we so choose. And no one would tell me I couldn't date him.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

I clearly don't know enough about how that works. But that's good.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's all right, I don't expect everyone to know the intricacies of a monk's life.
