I'd have liked to have you there. Not just to serve a purpose -- though I'm sure you'd pick up heka well! But, to have you as somebody close to me.

[The picture might not be quite as rosy as Ryou is thinking, but...what else is a fantasy for? Fantasies don't have to have bitter realities like the beatings students got, or how there is sand in all the food. They can just be nice.]
