Selamat ulang tahun, Seiichi. May the next year be fruitful and full of success for you.

I find him perfectly capable.

Screened
Since when are you and Yukimura friends?

You also didn't answer my question.

[awedprowess]

Marginal.

Screened
You did inform me that I should attempt to tolerate them.

I disagree.

[seriousaura]

In your opinion.

Screened
Tolerate, but not be incredibly rude at every turn.

You didn't.

When, why, where, and how they get married is really none of your concern. You aren't in their relationship. Yukimura is not marrying you and neither is Sanada, so whether or not they choose a prenuptial agreement or elope in Las Vegas is none of your business.

[awedprowess]

Naturally.

Screened
It is hardly rudeness to be opposed to letting acquaintances act rashly when the time required for reasonable planning is minimal.

Friendship is not about being a 'yes man', Tezuka. They are your friends. Make them behave rationally.

Screened

[seriousaura]

I am not being a 'yes man,' Atobe. However, I will not stand in the way of their happiness. I don't see them acting rashly.

Atobe, answer the question. What is the underlying issue?

Screened

[awedprowess]

The fact they are behaving so irresponsibly is the underlying issue. I fail to see why this is not obvious.

Screened

[seriousaura]

If that's the case, then why does it concern you so heavily when their relationship really doesn't pertain to you in any shape or form?

Screened

[awedprowess]

You insist we are friends with them. Therefore, it pertains to me.

Screened

[seriousaura]

I insist you tolerate my friendship with them. If it is your wish to cut ties, by all means so do, but don't interfere with mine.

Screened

[awedprowess]

That is quite beside the point. As their friend, you should intervene to prevent a ridiculous error.

Screened

[seriousaura]

That's just it. I don't find their engagement or the preparations thus far to be erroneous or ridiculous.

Why is it so hard for you to accept that they are getting married because they love each other?

Screened

[awedprowess]

When I buy a car, I still take out insurance against its failure. The larger the purchase, the more important the protection.

Screened

[seriousaura]

And while marriages tend to break down too in current society, it is not your place to suggest they do something which makes them uncomfortable.

I have already talked about a prenuptial with Yukimura, taking a rational approach even though I didn't agree with it. They know what they want. I don't intend to get involved unless asked.

Screened

[awedprowess]

They are fools. I am going abroad.

Screened

[seriousaura]

In your estimation, most people are.

Enjoy your trip.

Screened

[awedprowess]

Quite true.

My thanks.

Screened

[seriousaura]

Aa.
