Bah. Painful, she said. As if a few fond memories from youth should have any bearing on what goes on now. I should never have brought the subject up, or answered the damned question. Makes you think too much. It's too much, even with this. What good are years, after all, when you've only remained in the same place, just to prove a point? It doesn't bring anyone back. Though perhaps in some cases that is for the best.
It would have been much better if I had stayed away, and never returned to Korin at all. Or took the grand opportunity to leave, once all was said and done. Might have had a chance for something different. Instead I chose this way. Who can even say if it's worth changing it now? A nice peaceful retirement for once. A fool's dream. Can't stay here forever, but I don't especially feel like leaving just yet. Nowhere else to go.
On the bright side, a certain day is coming up. Mustn't disappoint the children. Though I'd rather have that damn drink today.
