Hey there. Here's something familiar, a bat. Hope you like it.

You wear nice clothes, you seek respect, you make a lot of money, but what's the point? It's all pointless. Of course, this kind of meaninglessness might suit this crappy nation. But, you see, we still have emotions like joy and happiness, right? They may not mount to much. But they fill up our emptiness. That's the only explanation I have.

But I'm willing to take a chance on believing there has to be a way. All I need is someone to believe with me.

We're still on the run. That's for sure. Right on. This time we're on. And we won't stop till we win.

I hope you fall in love with someone nice and have a good marriage. I might end up dying without knowing what it's like to be in love.

Nice jewelry and a boys corpse. Oh you're so pretty.

To memorize something,it's best to write it down.

By then she was dead. In fact, she may have been dead a while ago. Physically, several seconds ago, mentally, ages ago.

Now there's the Niida we all know and loathe.
