Beloved _,

how have you been? I hope everything is fine at your place. I think I have finally adjusted to Japan and to my new school. The weather here is nice too. A lot of sunshine with a cool breeze. The perfect weather to play some basketball. Ah, I really missed it. It took me a lot of effort to get some guys together to form a basketball club. There is a guy who was especially hard to convince. His name is Hyuuga Junpei and he seems to have a crush on the manager. But I don't think he'll ever gather the strength to confess to her haha. Our first encounter was quite troublesome but the first time I saw him, I knew that he loved basketball from the bottom of his heart. It just took a while for me to convince him to get back to basketball because he had already given up. Lately practise has been quite hard but I think we'll get by. We're a good team!

Oh and our manager is quite someone! Last time I was late for practise and she nearly crushed my bones with her Boston Crab, some kind of martial arts move she picked up. I think I still have some bruises haha. And there is some guy who doesn't talk but I don't think he's mute. Maybe he's saving his voice for really special occasions, who knows haha. But his cooking is superb and I don't think there isn't any thing he couldn't cook. Totally different from our manager's. Last time I had the unfortunate pleasure to taste her cooking I puked for a whole day afterwards. I think my body still hasn't forgiven me since I start sweating everytime she wears her cooking apron. Even Kuma-san can't make up for that.

I miss you. I miss your gentle smile and the sound of your voice. Even though I'm busy with basketball I still think of you every minute. You are the first thing on my mind when I get up and the last thing before I close my eyes to sleep. _ I'm so happy to have met you. I wish I could touch you right now, I wish you could caress your face, kiss your soft lips and hold your small hands in mine. Please take good care of yourself since I'm not there to protect you. I don't know what I'd do if something ever happened to you. You are the one person I could not live without. I don't want anyone else beside of you. You are the only one that matters to me, the sun of my life. I hope to return soon to be with you. But for now, please stay safe. My beloved little bird. I love you.
