Hello, sir.

The weather is quite nice these days, isn't it?

Thanks to you, I always feel good.

Are you writing that letter you've been putting off for quite some time now?

...just, just.

I miss you, sir.

Still, you can't come, sir.

...After I left that orphanage, I also had a family.

I have younger siblings who always look out for me and parents who always prepare meals for me.

I heard you gained 1kg because you ate so much.

And, they gave me a really big room.

It's so spacious and cozy that I spend every day there.

...mister,

I don't have to worry anymore.

I'm really, really happy.

mister,

i love you.

I'm happy.

F*ck.
