It's so clear, so cool, so refreshing. Water is amazing, even just looking at it scientifically, before you add in how it affects everything in the world.

I was currently at the top of a cliff that looked out onto the ocean. I came here every morning a night, or whenever I felt the need to escape from reality. After finding out my parents had died, I hadn't cried. Publicly, anyways. That very same night, I had snuck out here and bawled my soul out. And then I'd collected all the tiny pieces of myself and put me back together, just like that. Well, I think there are still some cracks here and there, but I didn't really notice them, if at all.

"Muuuuuuunnnnnntoooooo!!"

Oops, Pops is calling. Guess I'd better head back so he doesn't freak out.

I lay in my bed, watching out the window. My room is really plain, like I barely live here at all. But my closet tells a different story. It's full of photo albums, CDs, awards, all that kind of stuff. My room is upstairs, at the very end of the hallway. When you walk in, my dresser is on the left wall, my bed up against the right back corner, beneath the large window. My desk is to the right of my bed, and my closet on the other side of the desk. The room is barren, no pictures on the dresser, no posters on the wall. My bed has no blankets, just a pillow that my head currently rests on.

I'm a very strange person.

But at the same time, I'm as normal as anybody else. My favorite color is black, my favorite food is sweet dango. I like to listen to classical music. My hobbies include, swimming, dancing, and meditating. I've been described as brotherly, naturally inquisitive, and emotionally wise. So yes, I'm quite normal.

The moon's rather high... I'd better get to sleep.

I haven't really been feeling very well lately. It's not like I'm sick, but more just mentally exhausted. I don't know why though. Aside from the school change, not much is different. Of course, Satoshi had his own... unique.. opinion.

"You're probably stressed out over your grandparents. You should move out. Or maybe find a boyfriend! You're entering your prime youthful years, Munto, you'll be lonely if you go to college without anyone waiting for you!"

It was currently homeroom, and we were sitting by the window. Well, I was sitting on the windowsill with my back to the classroom, and he was reclined in the desk just to the right of the one behind me.

"I haven't found the right person yet. Besides, I'm not going anywhere until I know you're properly taken care of."

I hear him huff behind me and turn back to the worksheet we'd received. Well, it was more like a survey so our advisor could get to know us. At the bottom was a career choice. That's probably what he was stuck on.

"Hey, Munto, what's my favorite color?"

....or not.

"I'm not you, I wouldn't know."

"Hmm.... green then. Like, a masculine green!"

What...? Just... whatever, Satoshi. You seriously need someone to keep an eye on you.
The sound of older voices catches my ears, and I peer out towards the main gate curiously. Four older people, college students probably, are chatting just inside. I wonder...

I can't see much from here though. Hmm... Two with black hair, one with brown, and one with red. The brunette and one of the black haired guys seem tall. The other two don't look short, but mostly average.

Well, whatever. It's not my business anyways.

"What'd you put for your career?"

"Hmm? Oh, a professional dancer."
I answer, leaning back with my hands behind my head, laying on the desk with my legs out the window.
