"All kinds of history are important." I say, tilting my head back to grin up at him. He's so tall like this. I wasn't that much taller than him when I was the avatar, but... Well, it just felt right.

Might not be right. I might not grow much more, I might end up his height or smaller. The avatar was just guesses, guesses made mostly by Masato, with some input from me. Who knows what I'll really grow up to look like?

Ugh.

"We should visit France sometime." I stretch up onto my tip-toes and reach for his shoulders. "You can practice your French, too."

He asks about my day, and I glance back at the very full ash tray on the bathroom sink.

"I read some. Ryuuji called, he was thinking about coming over, next week maybe? Not much."
