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.

Well, well. Spoken like someone who wants to be a hero.

How interesting.

[puellamagi]

Me? A hero? No -- that's not it!

I just... really love and care about the people who are important to me.

[crouching_sin]

What do you think a hero is, then?

[puellamagi]

Someone brave -- someone who always tries to do the right thing to protect others.

Someone that... others can look up to.

[crouching_sin]

And don't you think you're exhibiting those qualities?

[puellamagi]

Me? I... I don't really know. I've never really been very good at anything-- so I don't think that I could be someone to look up to.

But, I think that if I can help someone, then... that's all I really want to do.
