Thank you Sonikku. Any free bed is a positive for a hungry, fatigued wanderer. I only feel like a prisoner because of my feelings for Ryudo and the entire history. Perhaps one day it can be mended. He did apologise, and i accepted it on the face of it. But he knows as well as i do, and everone else how seriously i care for this place and Shenmue, so what he did struck deep in me. I dont agree that he should have remained here, but he was allowed to stay. That is the way of it, and that is something that i and i alone have to deal with.
Coming up to my 19h hour logged in now, and still cleaning up bots. May as well go for the old skool all nighter i used to do around here. I havent done that since the last T.O.S.D. Awards i held. Ironic since i am off this week. Something nice and rounded about it.
