[ It's Wednesday morning. Or, well, more like 1am. Ouka can't sleep, and she hadn't really gotten to know anyone else in this world.

Have a blip on your 'Gear. She's made a video call, but hung up a few seconds after it starts to go through. ]

Hello Isaac. You don't know me, but I think we should talk. As soon as possible. I believe it would be in your best interests to do so.

It's been two years.

Funny, isn't it? I never really used to pay much attention to these sorts of things before coming here; the lack of things to observe was a factor there, of course, but it never really struck me as terribly important. Even now, I'm not really sure it's important so much as it is something I feel like I should be doing - not an obligation, per se, but more like habit. I've been here for almost a year now since my return, and I always feel like I should be doing something on the thirteenth of the month; this is the first time since we started on this little adventure that I've been here for April's.

So I suppose this is as good a time as any to write, even though I imagine I'll just get some sort of failure notification from the device in a second; this is something to do with myself, anyway, even if it's pointless and oversentimental. Believe me, I feel stupid about it, even though you would likely tell me that I shouldn't.

Ah, well.

I don't exactly miss you, simply because I don't miss anyone; you know better than to think that you're an exception. That doesn't mean I don't notice your absence, however.

Happy anniversary, Isaac.

Hey. You got a minute?

Hey, I've got a question for you.

Where do you think you'll be on the 25th?

[Isaac, you are getting something really nice as giri choco goes, if for no better reason than she feels a little awkward giving things like this to someone so much older. So congratulations, she tried! ~~NOTICE HER, SENPAI~~

There's also a note attached to it, so.]

Thanks for everything, Beastmaster, I really appreciate it. Happy Valentine's Day, hope you have a good one.

Hey, Beastmaster, I don't suppose you have any use for one of those little purple cats with the thousand-yard stares on them, do you?

Cadence had kittens. They probably do some weird shit, I don't know, I'm not a breeder.

I know you'll likely tell me that I didn't have to text you, particularly since you're literally just down the hall and I can always talk to you in person if I have something to say – believe me, I know, but I'll ask that you humor me anyway, just for the time being. There are some things that are just simpler to say over text, and you know I've never been particularly good with anything that involves any sort of sentiment.

I've spoken of you to an acquaintance of mine – never by name, or even physical description, they just know that you happen to exist and that I've been seeing you for quite some time – and I've told them a few things about the time I've spent with you; it's occurred to me that I've probably told them more about my thoughts on such things than I've ever told you, and given the date, now seems as good a time as any.

I'm aware that there are complications, I suppose one could say, when it comes to being around me for long periods of time, whether it's a professional or a personal relationship; I'm often difficult to handle, and there are more things to take into account than there would be with other people, and my perception of things doesn't always mesh with the rest of the world's. But I'm told that I seem...better, for lack of a better term, when you're around, and from what I've observed on my own I can't say that that's untrue; you make me happy in ways that no one else has ever been able to, and you're one of the very few people who understands me at all, and it sounds sterile and impersonal to directly say that I appreciate that but hopefully you'll understand what I mean when I say that I do, because it's entirely true.

Being here with you for so long is rather important to me, and you as a person are rather important to me; I admit that sometimes I'm unsure of what possessed you to ask me to pursue this with you all that time ago, but bluntly put I'm glad that you did.

It's been three years.

Happy anniversary, Isaac.

Hey, Beastmaster, you got a second?
