audio/action Sad China is Sad

[There's sounds of China playing his bamboo flute. No specific song, just a couple of notes. However, some of the notes begin to fail. There's a tremble in them until they come out as nothing more than a raspy sound. Unseen by others, China takes his flute away from his lips.]

I never got to tell her what I wanted I say.

[If anyone wants to run into him, he's sitting on a tree branch within Discedo's Horizon Park.]

Yeah they are. [Swings his feet looking down.] At least you know she's still alive somewhere, eh?

[Slightly twisted gut, but he's focusing on China right now.] Still, she might. And if not... I guess that's just the price that's paid.

What song were you playing before?

Yes, that is one thing that gives me comfort.

Just when I was starting to remember things... I also told her about the Qīxī Jié and she was already planning on what we should do for that day. [He chuckles on that last bit, but then he returns to his melancholy air.]

Oh, nothing specific, just a couple of notes. I was trying to distract my mind from her, but of course it didn't work.

Ah. Sorry, eh? Maybe it'd help to remember the good things and help get it out of your system?

In the mean time, I will keep this safe. [He dangles the pendant.] Should she come back so I can give it back to her. If not, then I will continue keeping it safe, aru.

Couldn't hurt, right?

Of course not. It's just that, I never told her those three words.

Ah, I see.

[Distant look. Even having told his Pops and Ace more times than he could count it didn't seem enough. What would it be like to lose everyone around here like that, without having told them? Some chances shouldn't be wasted.]

Maybe you can write a letter, eh? Even if it can't get sent, that's what I did with my Pops.

I suppose. [He hugs his knees to his chest.]

On the bright side, should she return, I could give it to her when I'm ready.

[Nods and lightly rests a hand on China's shoulder.]

I hope you can Yao.

I still wonder whether it would have been better to tell her those three words sooner or not.

Sometimes things like that happen for a reason. No sense holding any regrets, eh?

Maybe it is karma.

Either way, it's been proven yet again that this heart of mine can still love despite all that's happened, aru. [He smiles slightly, but keeps looking down at the ground.]

That's something to be gained, isn't it?

And I don't believe in karma.

Yes, and I got to know about her just as much as she learned about my life. She has a sister, I don't know if she is older or younger, though. They both live with a priest named Garterbelt.

Then I told her about my family, life back home, she told me about the heaven she comes from. Of course, there are still many things we could have told each other.

[He looks up to the sky with a curious look replacing his melancholy one.] What should I say if her sister appears first, I wonder? It would be too sudden to tell her upfront of our relationship, especially if she's a protective sister, aru.

[A distant sigh. Would he tell China or the others about Japan and him if Japan went home again? Of course if Marco went home he'd want Japan to instantly tell any of Marco's brothers about him... but Japan was nakama.]

What did she tell you about her sister?

Something about her sister messing up one of her chances at becoming a movie star. From what Stocking told me, though, she was able to get back at her sister. How, I do not know.

[He's not sure if he wants to know either. He remembers when Vietnam and Taiwan used to have their squabbles back when they all lived together. Women are scary when they get angry...]

I guess that's the kind of thing you should save for meeting her then and decide once you get to know her. That's how I'd handle you and Japan's family.

Well, Stocking mentioned another thing about her sister... [He begins to blush furiously.]

Being an angel?

No, if one sister is an angel then it only makes sense if the other is one too.

[His blush doesn't diminish at all.]

Eh? Is it something embarrassing then?

Well... [He leans into whisper putting a hand to the side of his mouth.]

She says her sister has sex with nearly every man she finds attractive and that her goal is to have sex with one thousand men before she returns to heaven...

[Chokes on his laughter, but ... mostly holds it back.]

That's quite some goal, eh?

Though if she was here... I think you might not want to ah... run the risk of upsetting Stocking with that. Not that you would be thinking about it.

Of course I wouldn't do something like that with her sister.

I am already taken by Stocking and... [He says this much more quietly:] Who knows what sort of things her sister is carrying...

[Even if she is an angel, you never know!]

With a goal of one thousand men, I'd have to think.
