[ Kuroh’s been here for a couple months now. He’s kept careful tabs on the network and made a few new friends, learned a few new things. Chief among them: People often ask their fellow Transports a really personal or philosophical question over the tablets for no other reason than to pass the time.

So. To demonstrate his totally admirable social skills--and also due to a recent pang of homesickness--he’s going to prove that he can fit in here. ]

Good afternoon. This is Kuroh Yatogami. [ Well everyone already knows that since this isn’t anonymous, but for the sake of politeness. ] I wonder, how many of you here also had teachers back home who were very important to you? I mean the sort who were just as much your family as your instructors. [ Oh no, he’s starting to look nostalgic. ] Those who taught you everything you know and loved you unconditionally.

For me, that was Ichigen Miwa. [ And with that, his normally quiet voice becomes a lot more emotional and excited. And...he reaches into his jacket pocket. Suddenly in his hand is a peculiar voice recorder. ] The late Colorless King, the wisest and most fair master anyone could ask for, whose inspired words of wisdom guide me to this very day! [ With a small click, Kuroh presses a button, and... ]

Walk casually
Along the path you have chosen
The path to your dreams.
[ Exsilium, you’ve been treated to the soothing, poetic voice of a dead man. Sorry, was Kuroh expressing interest in other people’s teachers earlier? No more. His cheeks are a bit flushed and one can practically see the sparkles in the atmosphere. ] And there you have it! Not a day goes by when I don’t--

[ Oops, and then he bumps the tablet with his free hand, and the feed is cut off. And thank god because he was showing no signs of stopping. ]

[ ooc note: this is before he learns of Certain Castmates’ arrival. Shiro, the fanboy's probably in the apartment. ]

ahh sorry for late

_{[Oh no, she feels like she's touched a nerve. Her tone is gentle, but not at all hesitant. This is important to her.]}

Maybe not, but teachers are there to give you the tools to pave the way for yourself. Knowing that their students can do that confidently on their own is probably the best affirmation of their own skills and purpose, I think.

shh shh never late

[nikubaka]

And trusting his word is how I affirm his skills and purpose. But... [ A sigh. ] You're not wrong.

[ It's just that moving on is a difficult thing ]

you're too kind to me ;u;

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[It's not something she enjoys, being right in something that so obviously causes pain and is a sore point, and she can understand where he's coming from.]}

I imagine it must be very hard. _{[She smiles both out of comfort as well as to lighten things a little.]}

But you know, I'm sure he'd be very proud and happy to know he never had to worry about his student's diligence. I think some of my professors might have appreciated that a little more from some of their students.

_{[Not naming name tho. Stella.]}

[nikubaka]

[ After a moment of thought, he smiles back. ] Thank you. "Diligence" is what I strove for. Even if I didn't always meet his expectations.
