How You Play

“I wanted you to know that I’m glad you stayed at your post,” Cid said. Dr. Kadowaki hadn’t heard him come in, and she jumped in her seat.
“Oh! Headmaster. You surprised me.”

“It’s brave of you to [...]

Retirement

Their island was quiet after the kids left – not that they could really call them kids anymore, regardless of whether the Deling government would allow them to buy porn.
“Sometimes I think… we should have done something else. Done it some other way,” Cid frowned as the Garden disappeared over the horizon.
