...Agreed. Beyond even our returning members; there is the matter of tomorrow, as well. Aside from feeling ill today, are you doing better from earlier in the week, Rin?
Of course. We'll continue with your meditation practices each day, Rin - it has been an honor to be able to work with you.

Not only is it partially my fault that we failed the first time, but he's my friend too. I'm not giving up on him.
