"Sayoko?" I asked, remembering the woman that used to work for Lelouch and Nunnally.
"I'm glad you still remember me, miss."
"It really has been a while." I admitted.
She nodded in agreement, "I have a few days off because I am a bit sick. Do you mind spending some time together for a while?"
"Not at all." Since when was I so polite? I laughed to myself at the thought. We sat down at a local coffee shop and watched as she ordered a bunch of food but sadly, no pizza.

"Suzaku hasn't mentioned anything about this." I noted to myself.
"Sorry to hear." I replied.
"I was just wondering, if you mentioned anything about him to her highness."
"Not anything that involves him being alive. He wouldn't like that anyways."
After a while of more chatting, we bid our farewells.
