Part 399: Vaike A

*Siiiiiigh*

Aw, come on! You're too young and pretty to be mopin' like this!

Vaike, I'm older than you... MUCH older.

Yeah, I know. But you're still a kid at heart, right? Anyway, what's the matter, another scary dream?

The thing is, Vaike, I really like you. And that makes me sad. *sniff* Because it means I'm really gonna miss you when you're gone!

Hey, don't bury me yet! And besides, you'll be helpin' me with my dream. It's like havin' me right there!

I promised to do that, and I will.

But it's going to be so awful and sad and... and lonely without you. And then everyone else is gonna go away and... and... WAAAAAAH!!!

H-hey now! Don't start cryin', Nowi! I ain't goin' nowhere.

Promise? *sniff*

Guarantee it! So wipe away those tears and let's start enjoyin' the day!

Th-thanks, Vaike. I feel better.

Har har! That's more like it!
