And what would anyone expect on seeing all of one's hopes dashed? A happy face? A happy face I'll make to the world, in the other platform.

But this is my parlour. I do not need to hide my tears here. If you enter, it is MY parlour.

You have the chance to speak with me. It is the reason I am there. I do not care for followers, I have plenty of those, intelligent people to debate with on whom I turned my back.

I am not interested in little games. I'll complete that shisan renga now.
