[Issei is shaking with the force of his sobs. He's obviously been crying for a while.

Eventually, the sobs slow down enough for him to get some words out in between them.]

That wasn't me. The person who hospitalized my father and brother, who drove the other monks to attack each other, who spoke to you all so cruelly - that wasn't me. I could never do such a thing to my family!

Why, wh-why did this happen? What did I possibly do to deserve anyone's ire enough for them to do this? Why did I fail my family and let this happen?! I should have resisted, I should have...

Father... R-Reikan-nii...

[And he bursts into a fresh wave of tears.]

So what do you do for a living?

[battlememo.livejournal.com]

Right now? Just an average high-school student, actually. Still trying to figure out where I wanna go for college - if I wanna go, anyway.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I see. It's my personal belief that most people should go, but I didn't go, so that invalidates my opinion somewhat.

You never know what life's gonna throw at you.

I dunno. Hopefully I'll still be able to keep in contact with Kyo-san and Saisyu-sensei if I go.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's always a pleasure to keep in touch with your friends. I hope you do.

[battlememo.livejournal.com]

I should! Unless Kyo-san decides to leave again without telling anyone where he's going...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Does that happen often?

[battlememo.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately. But... hopefully, now that he's married, he shouldn't do it so often without Yuki-chan getting mad at him.

Women are good motivating factors for not disappearing suddenly.
