... Obon already, huh... Day of the dead

Looks like all the wee urchins'll be back in town this year, hm.

I reached out to Futaba too, but I haven't heard aught back...

Ach, right, didja know that smartphones are all the rage these days?

I'm always in touch when I nee'ta be, real convenient!!

'course, when we were sprats we'd just post letters and somesuch...

Futaba's shot up like a rocket, you wouldn't believe how big she's gotten!

... ach, fair so, maybe not that much.
