Oh, thank you. I'm glad to be here, but I confess it's a bit strange as well. Most of the time when there's a party, I'm usually the one doing the cooking, the decorating, the inviting...Being the guest of honour's an adjustment for me. I saw that Kalim and the others were scrambling to get everything ready, and like a fool, I just had to say something. Which inevitably led to me setting up my own party.

I'd say so. Middle school was the first point in my life where I had some time and space to myself. I had friends I could talk with about anything. We'd study together, practice dancing, go out in town and get into trouble… It was also the first time I got into a really bad fight with a friend. We went days without talking, all because of the stupidest thing…

You've been the same for as long as I can remember. Oblivious, gullible, foolish... AND I HATED IT! You trot along merrily in ignorant bliss, utterly blind to my suffering! Every time I see you smile, it makes my skin crawl! I'm sick of it! There's no point in maintaining my facade now. You have no idea how many days I've spent wishing that you would just go away. But that ends today! Myself, my family... I don't care about ANY of it anymore!
