Dear mother,
How are you? I'm doing okay. Classes are doing fine, same as for work. Please tell uncle that I've been passing my tests with well enough grades that he needn't be concerned. Last time we spoke he was concerned about that and while his inquiring can get tiresome, I know that he's just looking out for me.
Rima says hello by the way. She asked me how you were doing. I just told her that you were fine since that's what you told me the last time we spoke. We (Rima and I) stopped by this human café after work today. It was small but cozy and I think you'd like it. I'll have to remember the location so I can take you there some time.
After we ate there, we walked around for little while and took a short cut through the park to get back to Cross Academy. While we were there, though, an elderly human woman stopped us. She said that we were a cute couple and while I tried to tell her that we weren't together, I don't think she was listening to what I had to say. She kept insisting that we were a perfect couple and even commented on the fact that I carried our parasol, saying that I was a "true gentlemen".
Why does everyone think that Rima and I are together, mother? Do you think that? We're just good friends, I assure you, and while Takuma insists that's what people say when they don't want to admit a crush we really are just friends…
Anyway, I have to go now; Takuma and I have a project to work on for class tomorrow. I'll try to write again soon. Also try not to spend too much time by yourself. Everyone worries about you when you lock yourself away.
Love,
Your son, Senri
