[That's a little startling, so have a blink in pair with the slightest "Keh!" as he stares back. There's a bit of a hesitation before he speaks. While cleaning, of course.]

America-san is one of my first.. [..allies? friends? He stops there, and decides to start differently.] America-san helped me out of isolation. Ah, so I am saying we have a bit of history. The rest is a bit new to me, but China-san informed me.

Apparently there are two world wars in my future. During the second one, I ally with Germany-san and Italy-kun... [He picks up a piece of the chair.. what did you do to this thing.. and observes it for a moment.] I am told that I perform an unannounced military strike on one of America-san's naval bases. The attack pushed America-san from being neutral-- while supplying the.. enemy with things-- to siding with the allies completely.

[he sets the broken piece of chair aside for now, as if unsure what to do with it, and moves on to something he can handle.]

Apparently my actions provoke America-san quite a bit. Ah, at the end of the war.. [he trails off and for some reason isn't able to continue. does Seifer even get all of this. well, Japan's back is to him, and he's fiddling with the piece of chair again as if poking at it will make the thing form back again.]
