You're right, but I think we're more likely to listen to you either way. Just like we listen to Ai-senpai because we know what she's done, you have enough of a legend that people will listen just on rumors and record. But... it makes me happy you're keeping yourself honest. There's a reason they say you shouldn't meet your heroes, and I'm getting a little deep in the paint now. So I'm glad I've had good luck so far.

I'll swing by sometime with a batch of... maybe not super sweet stuff, I don't know if you'd appreciate it the same way Hanako-kun would. I've been meaning to draw up a batch of oatmeal cookies and see if I can keep them tasty without going crazy on the sugar. [Then the rest of the words process and she perks up.] I didn't think about that - are you doing all right on your own? I miss Sam... I hope she'll be back soon, but I know she's got stuff going on.
