Spider --

Did you want anything else from last night's haul?

-- S.T.

Now freed from the cage
Sparrows flit among cherries
Away from the cats.

Tachibana-san,

Have you been well today? I wanted to check in.

- Tsubaki

Robin-han,

I need to talk to you. Can we meet up tonight?


- Sen

Who is Lydia?

You're up tonight.

Steve, Peter, Harry, Tony or... whoever, I guess.

What's going on tonight? Are there any plans?

-Kurt

Messrs. Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin would like to congratulate the young lady who so heroically leapt up onto a table this afternoon to declare her independence from our poorly-dressed oppressors. We, the undersigned, regret that we cannot yet do so in person; we felt it unwise to do so, given the nursing situation. We beg your indulgence, fair lady, and pray that we can meet you in person as soon as possible to personally convey our gratitude for your noble actions.

Again, dear lady, thank you. You have inspired us to action, and we can only hope that the rest of the patient population were similarly moved. We pray that they, too, will be compelled to behave in such a way.

They cannot keep us down forever! We shall overcome!

Signed, your comrades in mischief,

Hitachiin Hikaru, Esquire
Hitachiin Kaoru, Esquire

Leaf-nin --

Try again tonight?

Hijikata-san,

I believe we got off to the wrong foot. I'd like to speak with you, if you'll give me the opportunity.

-Okita Souji

S.E.E.S.,

How many of you will be available for an excursion tonight? Akihiko has the assignment, if you're interested, and will be coordinating a meeting point.

Amada, are you well? I don't think we've heard from you all day.

- Mitsuru Kirijo

Is gift-giving all too common? Or does the easy giving point to a lack of meaning? It's somewhat strange, and altogether unnerving, to experience from strangers what family won't give.

They say kindness is a virtue, but I'm considering it a curse.
