This comment is mostly a long long rant for ~Hanesihiko... I don't really care if someone else reads, this is for a VERY VERY important friend and I just want to pour out some of my frustrations.

Gosh *hugs senpai and doesn't let go* You don't know how much I miss you, senpai T__T Ever since our last meeting last year before your exams, it's become less fun in life. I mean, I thought of you as a good friend, but seeing that we meet only once a week, I felt I won't be THAT sad if you left, but it's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from what I thought. Everyday I'm like "Senpai has left school~ T__T *ANGSTS*" The heck, NOTHING good has happened this year and added with this lonely feeling in me, I'm probably on the brink of insanity. I miss the times I'd wait outside the class and get glares from your History teacher, I miss the teasing your friends direct towards both of us, calling me "adik angkat", I miss ranting non stop while you listen out of courtesy, I miss apologizing profusely for being an ass and not burning the discs, I miss flipping through your sketchbook and squealing at everything I see, I miss trying to steal your markers, I JUST FREAKIN MISS YOU AND I WANNA KICK MYSELF FOR NOT BEING BORN AT THE SAME YEAR WITH YOU AND GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL WITH YOU >___________________< I sound like some psycho homo I bet but... the friendship we shared was really something different from the others I have. You were SPECIAL and... god someone shoot me now so I can become a ghost and haunt you at least ;__; I have a phobia on SMSing you and I can never get you on MSN... I'm just scared that I might NEVER see you again, cause people say school friendships are usually temporary, and we're in different forms too... Even if I join the same college or university as you, you might've finished your course even. And I can't drive yet so I can't stalk you ._. Guuh... You should've seen me last Friday, I got the school mag, flipped over to 5 Sc 4 and almost cried right there. And the rest of the day I spent in a bad mood and snapping at my friends or just brooding. I'm THAT crazy. Now shoot me T_T

End of angsting... probably. Okay senpai, this is NOT my part of our art trade ._. I'm having a hard time with that but when I read your new journal and saw your deviation, I HAD to do something, SOMETHING, and hopefully cheer you up. Of course I don't know if my crappy drawing skills can cheer anyone up or not... So brief work with messy shading... I tried my best to do EXPRESSIVE eyes in this pic, but I think I only managed to do sleepy eyes... I had hell with her face (AND it still is screwed up) and I hope I didn't bastardize her hair that much... Seriously Hirari's hair is VERY HARD~ to draw, I'm very very amazed at how you handle it so well (well, you ARE the creator, but...) I pray the curls don't look half that bad... Not too sure how long this took, I was just very determined to draw SOMETHING for senpai before I sleep (ahaha, 3am now...) Eyes inspired by Hachikuro (specifically, Ayumi's eyes) No rotten tomatoes please. At least until I wake up.

I miss you senpai. I DO know you can't come back to school other than for collecting your results... Maybe Sports Day? I'll just pray and wait for the outcome...
