My cousin, who recently arrived, has a birthday today. Wishing him a happy birthday is encouraged.

He's 18 now after all. In many places that makes you an adult, Kazuya.

Yes, I know you can see me writing this.

It's nice to be here, but this is only a dream world. I'm still out and about and doing whatever it is I'm doing while awake.

And I wouldn't say it's better or worse, honestly.

Even if this is a dream world, everything still feels so real... I don't think that any of our experiences happened any less because of that.

Even so... I hope that you can find some happiness here.

Just because I can't get what I want doesn't mean I'm not happy.

I'm happy as long as I know that the waking me is out and about and doing what needs to be done.

I'm happy that Naoya is here with me and doesn't have to deal with the normal garbage he has to deal with while awake. I'm happy he's getting a break.

Then--

I hope you can stay here together with him for a long time.
