Hey. I know I don't normally ask for help, but... this is a little bit of a special case. A few of you have met... oh, where's... there. lil_tanuki, Hayate Yagami. Little brown-haired girl. She's in a wheelchair because her legs are paralyzed... and it's getting worse. Without some kind of intervention, she's not going to last a whole lot longer. Six months, maybe a year. I don't think anyone has the kind of medical capability or healing magic she needs, either.

[There's a long pause; she looks a little off-balance. She told herself she wouldn't cry...]

Anyway... Hayate's birthday is coming up. I know it's a weird thing to ask, but... I want to make it a good one. Because she might not get another one. But I don't know anything about parties, or any of that stuff.

[Rita's face is pleading.] Can... can anyone help me?

How dreadful.

Did you just come to make unnecessary remarks? Some of us would rather not let people suffer without cause.

[permatext]

[structuraldefect]

My apologies. I didn't think sympathy was unnecessary.

[blahblahblah]

No, I'm sorry. I thought you were being sarcastic and jumped to conclusions. Damned text.

[structuraldefect]

Why would you think that?

[blahblahblah]

Because I've never heard that phrase used sincerely. That, and my head's not entirely straight right now.

[structuraldefect]

Understandable.

I'll keep your friend in my thoughts.

[blahblahblah]

You have my thanks.

[structuraldefect]

It's the least I can do.
