The determination.

I told virginia I was joining the living.

A few days later i drew it out.

Now, what?

When I met with Virginia two months ago,

well, i've told you this

i talked to you after the conversation

we. talked. do you remember? 

god!! alas!!

she said

"You have a, b,c d, e.

...what's the problem?"

and I "aha" -ed.

remember?

you nodded

I know

I healed in Kitakyushu.

But coming back

has brought challenges.

Why, if I am healed?

How did I get better in Kyushu?

The thoughts changed.  The outlook changed.

 The determination.

But the habits, the city, the situations, bring back challenges I hadn't played through.
The problems I was living when I left.

But a year later

I'm able to combat those challenges,

while before, I fell to them.

I admit
I expected
far less
challenges than have appeared 

but
hey 

I'm able to fight.
