Do you have a New Year's resolution? If so, is it any better than these people's?

Yeah, I think so, too. We'll have tea parties and have lots of fun. [Beat.] Sorry for getting off-topic.

[unknownrival]

No, that's fine. I was really just trying to start conversation.

[justforyou]

Oh...! I get distracted a lot lately so I didn't know if that was okay or not.

[unknownrival]

It's completely fine.

My name's Ryudo Issei. I'm a monk in Fuyuki City, Japan. What's your name?

[justforyou]

Kirika Kure. I'm a third-year middle school student in Mitakihara City, Japan. Uh, what else can I say? I skip a lot? That's not a secret but somehow I don't think that's a good conversation starter.

[unknownrival]

What's your favorite subject when you do attend?

[justforyou]

Literature, I guess.

[unknownrival]

Excellent subject. What kinds of books do you read?

[justforyou]

Promise you won't laugh, okay? But I like reading...romance stuff but not the crappy stuff you can get a supermarket! The good kind about loyalty and how love or friendship is the thing that ties people together.

[unknownrival]

I would never laugh at that. Love is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

[justforyou]

It's the most important thing, too! Without it, how could people connect?

[unknownrival]

I can't understand people who disagree.

[justforyou]

Sad this is that some people just take it for granted. That's worse than even denying it.

[unknownrival]

Places like this have made me really appreciate it even more.

[justforyou]

Good! Without it, then there's nothing left. Love is something that everyone should understand and never take for granted.

[unknownrival]

I'm glad you agree.

[justforyou]

How could I not? To say it's not important is like saying you don't need air or food.

[unknownrival]

Some people don't, if you think about this place... but that's just quibbling.

[justforyou]

Yeah...sure, I guess if you put it like that...

[unknownrival]

But, I'm getting off the essential topic of love.

[justforyou]

What more can be said? It's the most essential but the most finite resource int he world.

[unknownrival]

Finite?

[justforyou]

Yeah, finite. A person only can love so much.

[unknownrival]

I don't think that's true... I mean, you love your friends, right? When you make another friend, it doesn't mean you love your other friends less.

[justforyou]

"Love" isn't something to be said lightly. It's something that's best when used shrewdly.
