[ Here is America. He is extremely dirty, tired-looking, and, given the red chapped face and dark tint to his nose and cheeks, slightly frostbitten. Nothing new. If you have been here since his arrival, you probably know what happened while I was on hiatus. ]

Uh. Thanks, Namine. Again. For the... yeah. I'd say it'll never happen again, but it keeps happening.

...D-don't ask where I've been. Not here, is the answer. Kinda out towards the prairie, but I didn't hit the river. Let's just leave it at that.

[ He sniffles loudly and wipes his nose with his sleeve. ]

Sorry 'bout that guys. I try to be around to save the day as much as possible, but it's way harder without planes and stuff! Did I miss anything cool?

There's not much I want to say.

Not a lot to say? But there's a whole world out there and a whole life to talk about! And you can talk and make people smile and it's awesome!

Me talking doesn't usually end with people smiling.

Do you talk to British people a lot? That could be your problem.

...I'm Japanese. Of course I don't.

What does that have to do with anything? Japan and England talk all the time! I think Japan's the only one besides me who can stand the guy.

It's hard to talk to British people when you're nowhere near them.

Take a plane.

I like living in Japan.

What about visiting? His weather sucks but... yeah, never mind, my place is better. Visit me! Be a tourist! Spend money, boost my economy, go to Disneyland!

....Impossible.

Why is it impossible?

Besides arriving here, I'm not leaving Sotoba. Ever.

Yeesh. I love my place like no other but I still like visiting others.

It's not by choice.

No money?

There is that, but there are other circumstances.

You're being evasive on purpose, aren't you?

I didn't think you'd really be interested in a teenager's worries.

Untrue! I've had tons of young friends over the years. Heck, I've been a "teenager" most of that time! Most of my human friends now are teenagers and young adults, and if they're sad and wanna talk, I'm all ears. 'Course, most have the benefit of being my citizens too and some of them get kinda scary when they start talking but it's interesting and it makes sense but then I try it out and yeah the flower kids are a little easier to hang with than the underground crowd.

[ mutter mutter SOMETHING ABOUT PUNK MOVEMENT I don't know don't even pay attention to it. ]

....

Let me make this simple. There's already a grave with my name on it waiting for me.

[ NOW HE THINKS YOU HAVE CANCER. Or are somehow getting drafted for Vietnam. No, it doesn't make sense, but it's America. ]

Isn't there anything you can do? I mean, any... hope or anything?

[ sigh! ]

...Sotoba is being overrun by vampires called Shiki. To make a long story short, I got bit. My 'hope' is that they'll all be killed and the village saved. So that means I have to die too and I'm fine with that. It's how it's supposed to be.

What.

[ pause. ]

What.

[ another pause. ]

You're a vampire what?

Is that all you got out of what I said?

And it's werewolf.
