It's strange hearing about Seifer's experiences in that other place. It does sound like it's been fairly good for him. A life beyond Garden.

He wants to treasure this tentative friendship between them. It might be the last chance he gets to see a different side to Seifer. The only chance to make things right. When he runs out of things to add to the current sketches, he's finished the last of his drink and poked at the fries that came with his food.

He shouldn't put this off any longer. He breathes out slowly and grasps at the edge of the table with his hands on either side of him, eyes on the ground.

"I want to continue that conversation. That night I asked if you still wanted to be SeeD."
