Alfred started his first day in New York City this morning. It seemed to make him really happy to stay in such a big city for a couple weeks. He seemed happier than he had ever been.

I wonder if he'll be like this when he comes back home to us. - Arthur Kirkland, the United Kingdom

I've never seen Al so happy. He said he's going to call us every day, and he'll tell us about everything that happened that day. I'm not even worried; it's not like anything bad could happen to him in his own country. - Matthew Williams, the country of Canada

---

We threw a goodbye party for him the day before, and then we saw him off. I could swear I saw Arthur shedding tears as the plane took off, but I'm staying quiet about it; I do refrain from speaking.

He's fine; I'm sure. - Honda Kiku, the State of Japan
