[Naki sends over a couple of pictures. They're a little blurry but they're pictures of flyers for national pancake day at Johto's equivalent of IHOP. They're advertising free pancakes, but there's nothing on there that says unlimited pancakes. These are two very different things that Naki has obviously mixed up.

After he sends the pictures he switches back to text.]

WE NEED TO GET SOME RIGHT NOW

[preybeforemeals]

...We can get some after I'm a bit more awake.

Perhaps after the pastry shops are properly open. We can get cake today.

[deaftly]

CAKE AND PANCAKES???? R U IN A GOOD MOOD OR WHAT

[preybeforemeals]

Ah, you could say that.

It's something of a special occasion for me today.

[deaftly]

IT IS??

WAIT IS TODAY UR BIRTHDAY???????????????

[preybeforemeals]

[...that was a little uncanny but sure, holy shit]

Yes, actually.

[deaftly]

[Why else would you agree to two kinds of cake in one day??

...pancakes are totally a type of cake, right?]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THEN!!!! HOW OLD R U???

[preybeforemeals]

[Actually, technically speaking, pancakes are a cake; they're just unleavened. So you're not wrong.]

23, actually.

Here's hoping the next year goes as well as the latter half of this one.

[deaftly]

WOW UR REALLY YOUNG I THOUGHT U WERE OLDER

I HOPE ITLL BE JUST AS GREAT 4 U THOUGH!! NO MORE BEING WEIRD AND SAD OR ANYTHING!!!!

[preybeforemeals]

[...jesus]

Ah, is that so? How old did you think I was...?

[deaftly]

25 MAYBE?? DEFINITELY NO OLDER THAN ME

[preybeforemeals]

Well, I'm flattered, monsieur, but no.

Either way, it's been going well lately with regards to the...weird sadness thing, so I don't think it's anything you'll have to worry too much about.

[deaftly]

THATS REALLY GOOD TO HEAR!!! I DIDNT LIKE SEEING U LIKE THAT!!!!!

[...obviously...]

[preybeforemeals]

Yes, yes. Where would I be without you and all.

It wasn't exactly my idea of a good time either, you know.

[deaftly]

WELL ID HOPE NOT U DIDNT GET 2 SEE ME NEARLY ENOUGH!!!!

[...he's trying to keep the mood light he's trying so hard, Tsukiyama.]

[preybeforemeals]

Well, I'll just have to make up for it now, then.

[...He can tell.]

[deaftly]

GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tried so hard, got so far, etc.

After a long pause Naki finally sends another text.]

I REALLY AM GLAD UR FEELING BETTER

[preybeforemeals]

...Something on your mind, monsieur?

I don't mind, you know, if you want to talk.

[deaftly]

ITS NOTHING

IM JUST REALLY GLAD THAT UR NOT WEIRD AND SAD ANYMORE

I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT YOU FOR A BIT THERE!!!

[preybeforemeals]

What in the world did you think was going to happen...?

It's perfectly fine, monsieur, things like that just take time.

[...obligatory THREE YEARS, MASSIVE IRONY...]

[deaftly]

IT WASNT THAT I THOUGHT ANYTHING WAS GONNA HAPPEN

I WAS JUST WORRIED U WOULD BE WEIRD AND SAD FOREVER

AND THEN U WOULDNT GET CAKE WITH ME

[#priorities]

[preybeforemeals]

There's still too much for me to get out of life to let it pass me by like that.

I've had dark times in my life before, you know, and that's always the thought I've come back to, in the end - that I'm not interested in giving up because I still have so much to experience yet. It's just more difficult to focus on that sort of thing sometimes.
