[Chuuya sighs, a heavy, tired thing. He's really not the right person to give advice, but as far as he knows Satoko doesn't have any other adults she's willing to open up to.]

She cares about you a lot, you know. If you both work on clearing things up and being better in the future, I'm sure you'll be able to fix what went wrong between you.

[recry]

I'll talk to her and see if I can make her understand.

[ It always has to be her. Resentment stirs, just a little. ]

Or to see if I can understand her.

Thank you, Nakahara-sensei. For being there for her and listening to her.

[goatsongs]

Don't worry about it. That's what adults are for.

[and he is, apparently, a responsible adult.]

[recry]

Perhaps I'll get a chance to meet you and thank you in person once I can correct the errors I've made. You deserve thanks in any case.

[ She laughs. ]

How funny, that I'm older than an adult. Though I'm not sure how to count your age when you lived and died so long before me...

[goatsongs]

I didn't experience those hundred years before I was summoned, so they don't count. Anyway, I don't feel that old.

[He's thirty and he'll be thirty forever, thanks.]

Good luck.

[recry]

I feel ancient and tired down to my bones some days. How funny.

[ Better than being eleven forever. ]

Thank you.

[goatsongs]

Understandable. At least living a hundred years doesn't come with arthritis for you.

[she could always feel more ancient and tired]

[recry]

I think I would prefer arthritis. At least then I'd actually be as old as I feel.

[ Ah, it's freeing to gripe a little. ]

In any case, I've probably taken up too much of your time already.

[goatsongs]

You'll get there someday. Don't feel any rush.

Take care, Rika.

[recry]

And you, Nakahara-sensei.
