I thought I was chanting prayers to the Buddha as I drifted in and out of sleep in my futon. [k] @ But then, at the very last moment, right as I let go of the final thread tethering my soul to this world...I made a wish. [k] @ I didn't accept it.

[k] @Sion At least I was able to adjust the Anti-Tokugawa field's output so that it is just barely able to fend off the Tokugawa-fication mental attack. [k] @Sion ...But I do not know how long that will last. [k] @Sion Still, for the moment, let us[sr]try to stay calm and not panic! [k] @Mata Hari It's okay. We're all here.
