Good thing I have all the time in the world here.

[possessive]

Well, yes, I suppose that's right.

[hoppyending]

It's not a bad thing, you know.

[possessive]

Camp?

[hoppyending]

Mm.

[possessive]

From time to time, I suppose.

[hoppyending]

It has its moments.

[possessive]

True.

[hoppyending]

I've met lots of great people, and done lots of exciting things, and changed a lot too.

[possessive]

Changing is inevitable.

[hoppyending]

It is. Some people try to stop it though.

[possessive]

...

[hoppyending]

I tried to stop aging. I looked a lot younger than I was for a while.

[possessive]

Why?

[hoppyending]

*Shifts from foot to foot* A lot of reasons...

[possessive]

Secret?

[hoppyending]

Not anymore...

Ah, for one, I just...really hoped that if I stayed young my mother...that she would remember me and finally want me.

[possessive]

Oh.

[hoppyending]

And...the head of our family...tended to become very close with the male zodiacs. Saying no would have been impossible. So I tried not to grow up. That way I wouldn't be put in that position.

[possessive]

... I'm sorry.

[hoppyending]

It's okay. It's not something I have to worry about anymore. And...I think I understand a little better now. That person, like all of us, just wanted to be loved.

[possessive]

. . . ah.

[hoppyending]

That person only wanted us to stay by their side. For us to love them as much as they love us. They just held on a little too tightly.

[possessive]

. . .

Sometimes it doesn't work that well, does it?

[hoppyending]

Nn, sometimes it makes things much harder. It makes things hurt more. But sometimes...some things are just too important to give up without a fight.
