178 -- [locked from hostiles]

[illuminatings]

I figure by now I've done enough moping to last me a lifetime and more. After all, if I internalize the pain and sadness, I am not getting better. Instead, I'm just letting it consume me and threaten to break my spirit.

...So, I've decided. As my family's thirty-ninth head, I will make whatever's left of my time here and be the best Hikari-Asakura Hoshi I can be with no regrets. The time to regret anything is now in the past and I'll be working for a better future, for myself, my friends, and the Digital World as a whole.

After all, life's precious, isn't it? We shouldn't waste it.

Well spoken, Hoshi... Truly words worthy of a hime or tono...

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Oh, now you're gonna make me blush, Ryuunosuke!

[isnot-theworst.livejournal.com]

Heh, I can certainly agree with that. Welcome back, Hoshi-chan.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

It's funny how alike we are, but yet have differences, isn't it?

Ah, I think the "-chan" suffix is a bit too dated for me now. I'm twenty-five, Yoshino.

[isnot-theworst.livejournal.com]

... eh heh, still, I can't help but think it fits you...

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Well... As long as no one calls me princess or lord here, I should be okay.

You were more mature than I was when I was sixteen, if it's any consolation, Yoshino.

[isnot-theworst.livejournal.com]

You didn't know me when I was sixteen. Thank goodness for that.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Teenage years tend to be the hardest, don't they?

[isnot-theworst.livejournal.com]

... Hoshi, considering what happened here happened after I turned nineteen...

... No. I can't agree with that.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry for my word choice, then.

[isnot-theworst.livejournal.com]

It's fine. I know you didn't mean anything by it. I'm sorry I made it awkward.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Not at all. Sometimes, you have to expect unpleasant topics to enter conversations.

[isnot-theworst.livejournal.com]

Okay then...

... You doing anything tomorrow? Maybe we could get lunch.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Not particularly, other than staying at the inn, however I'd love to get lunch with you, Yoshino.

[isnot-theworst.livejournal.com]

Okay then. Twelve o'clock sound okay?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Sure, sounds great!

[isnot-theworst.livejournal.com]

It's a plan, then.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Where do you want to meet?

[isnot-theworst.livejournal.com]

Eh, let's just meet at the same lightpost and go from there.

[serpent-ruin.livejournal.com]

So, no hopes for you NOT being an overtly chipper ball of sunshine and rainbows?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Nope, that part of my personality is still staying, no matter what. But, it's more demure than it was previously.

[serpent-ruin.livejournal.com]

Joy.
