[In Japanese:]

I've come to understand that there is something wrong with the languages in this tower... until now, I thought everyone spoke Japanese but I guess that's just how the "translator" works.

If you can understand this language, but it's not a language you're familiar with, this is Japanese. I would be willing to answer any questions you might have about this language or anything else, don't be afraid to ask.

For anyone wondering, Japanese is my first language, and the only other language I can speak is English. But if you need someone to translate Japanese to English or vice verse, I would be willing to help.

[He clears his throat, and starts speaking again. Only this time it's in slightly accented English.]

I can speak English, enough for talking. I don't know who needs help, but I can translate Japanese to English and English to Japanese. Please ask if you need this.

And... can you teach me your language, if you know more? I would like to learn more.

[There's a pause and he frowns a bit sadly, before speaking again. First in Japanese, then repeated in English.]

On another note, Kageyama Reiji is gone. I found his grave the other day.

[pengeen]

Yeah, I'll see you there.

[And after a few minutes, Kidou enters the meadow floor and stops just short of the doorway, looking at all the different types of flowers to pick.]

[Sakuma arrives not long after and when he notices Kidou, he walks towards his friend, tapping the other boy on the shoulder gently when he reaches him.]

Hey.

action forever ok fuck subject titles tbh

[pengeen]

[He turns around and offers Sakuma a smile.]

Yo.

[Then he turns his attention back to the flowers.]

I was thinking of picking some narcissus... they're his favorite type of flower.

[kickspenguins]

Are they really? I didn't know that.

[He doesn't doubt that Kidou would know though so without wasting any more time, he walks past Kidou into the field, looking around him to see if he can spot any.]

[pegeen]

[He nods and starts walking, placing his hands in his jacket pockets.]

He's never out rightly stated that they were his favorite, but he was always fond of them I've noticed. [He crouches down in front of a group of daffodil.]

You might not know it, but daffodils are also narcissus. Though Sousuii never really liked daffodils specifically, he always said they were too yellow for his taste. [He stands up again and looks around.]

He always preferred the ones with the white petals, and whenever we went to a field with flowers growing, I'd make sure to look for at least one.

Though, I've never actually thought about why he liked narcissus the most... perhaps it's the color, or maybe it's the poison in it's leaves. [That's when he spots a few white narcissi, growing in the midst of bright, yellow daffodil. His smile is fond, and a bit sad.]

But whatever his reason was, there's no other flower that fits him the most. Because the meaning of the narcissus -- [He makes his way over and crouches down in front of them, gently picking one of the flowers at the base of it's stem.]

Is a new beginning.

[As Kidou talks, Sakuma watches him silently. He always knew there was a special bond between Kidou and the Commander because in a way, the man was like a father to him. That's why when he betrayed them, Sakuma felt that he couldn't forgive him. Not for his own sake, but for Kidou's.

But things turned out differently and through it all, the fact that Kageyama remained special to Kidou remained so how can Sakuma hate someone like that?

When Kidou reaches the end of his narration, Sakuma nods slowly as he thought over what his friend just said.]

He gave us the chance for that, didn't he.

[Whether it was to give an orphaned boy a new home or to bring soccer back to another.]

[penngeen]

[He stands up again and nods.]

...if things had turned out differently, he would have had a chance himself. [It was nice though... the few months he got to spend with the true Kageyama.]

[kickspenguins]

As terrible as the tower is, I'm glad he was here.

[As he speaks, he bends down to pick out some flowers himself. He wants to show his appreciation for Kageyama as well, for everything the man's done for him.]

[pengeen]

So am I. [He probably wouldn't have been able to handle the Tower as well as he can handle it now if Kageyama never arrived...]

I'm glad I was able to learn under the real Kageyama Reiji... at least for a little while.

[kickspenguins]

Me too. It's something we'd never get back home. [Now that his flowers are gathered, he stands up then looks over at Kidou.]

Should we get some other ones also?

[pengeen]

Yeah, this needs a few more I'd think. [He looks around at the batches of flowers and spots some nice purple Orchids. He walks over and picks a few, and then returns to his friend.]

Do you think this is enough?
