Time is such a funny thing.

[Lust is sitting outside, clearly enjoying the early evening, and her Spheal and Eevee can be seen playing together in the background.]

It feels as though I just woke up in this world a short while ago, but tomorrow morning will mark a full year's passing.

When I first came here, I had nothing, not even my life. Now I sit here with my own home, family, people I call friends, a vocation of my own. I've been given a chance to know those I never would have before, offered opportunities that had been ripped away, handed the liberty to dictate my own actions and path in life.

And I think I hated this place, a little, at the beginning. The strangeness of it, the unfamiliarity, the changes it wrought in my physical form.

That's the thing about time.

It changes all things, eventually.

It is.

I remember how I felt about you in the beginning, too.

We've come a long way.

Yeah.

I'm only teasing.

I'm fond of you, Henry.

You're okay too.

_{[BUT NOT YOU'RE JIGGLY PUFF.]}

Has it really only been one year?

[a_sin_for_him]

A year's a very long time.

Are you going to celebrate? I've heard of people treating this day like a birthday.

[a_sin_for_him]

I already celebrated my birthday on my birthday. I'm lucky, I actually know when mine is.

But a year's passing needs acknowledgement.

You should still have a cake.

[video]

[a_sin_for_him]

I think I have cakes too often for them to mean anything special.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

Oh. I'm out of ideas.

I'm sure we can think of something.

Does anyone in the house know how to fix mixed drinks?

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

I'm not sure...the only mixed drink I know how to make is running your glass down the line at the soda fountain. I guess you could add some vodka to that. Back home it's called a suicide.
