0. The Fool's First Return | Video | New Bark Town

[fullmoonfortune]

[The Gear's on early -- it's dark, because Ryoji was going to talk on it but then Mom decided he was staying too long so he stuck it in his bag...

At least you can still hear what's going on?]

You should really be going, dear! [What a kind, motherly voice. With a hint of sternness.] Your adventure awaits!

Ah-- [There he is.] Yes, yes, I know, but I'd really like to stay for a little more of such a beautiful woman's food --

Don't try to sweet talk your own mother young man!

[There's a thud, a door slam, and a groan. The video's a little shaky before Ryoji pulls it out and grins, sitting up on the dirt outside of New Bark Town's starting house.]

...She's still as forceful as I remember. [He's fond!] Anyway, hello! It's Mochizuki Ryoji speaking. The last thing I remember it was getting colder, but now it's so hot again... [Ahhh, what's an eternally scarf wearing boy to do?] And according to the date, I've even managed to miss Tanabata... I had such fun last year, too...

Anyway, it's nice to meet everyone! I hope we can all get along! [...And he hopes he can see some of his friends, too!]

[ She notices that face. ]

Uh oh. The thought is what counts but I'm sorry to hear your wish doesn't come true. Maybe by your friends, they meant your friends here!

[fullmoonfortune]

Maybe. [It seems quite a few of the people he used to know here have gone though -- it can't be helped!] Well, there's no use dwelling on it. We'll just have to make sure this coming year is better than the last.

[tendered]

Of course! I'm determined to help my wish come true and make my friend's lives better. After all, it's kinda lazy if you expect your wish to come true if you don't put any effort towards it! You have to show you want it for it to be granted! [ the stuff Aizen tells her, man. ]

That's exactly right! "Hard work pays off" is how the saying goes, isn't it? There's also "Good things come to those who wait," but I'm sure it depends on the situation.
