the star-maker says it ain't so bad

miss ya, linebeck. i don't have a lot of memories from this reincarnation, but you truly are an irrefutable friend. thanks for looking after me all that time. whether you liked it or not, i basically adopted you as my weird dad. you may have been, well, Like That, but you were always there for me when it really mattered. miss you and love you, okay? hope you're doing alright.

Happy birthday, Sunny! I don't really know what to say. I have too much to say! All positive, of course! I have... so much love for you, even a lifetime later. I wish I could do more than just have your picture by my bed and on my phone... but now's no time to feel downtrodden! If you're out there, please... do something nice for yourself, okay? Your big sister is always with you, in spirit. I hope we can meet again, someday... until then, I'll do what I can for every other version of you I meet. Take care of yourself, too! Remember: brush twice a day, and always eat some greens - even only a little.
