[ Hm. Everyone is singing at me lately. An exaggeration. It has been, at most, three people and he acknowledges they are better singers than himself. Related, in part, to the fact that he doesn't sing with emotion. His eyes roll up in thought, but of course, the rain helped to give him reason to put emotion into the song -- so he will call that one a wash. ]

Yes, I would still consider it being alone. Eventually, you lose sensation of being held, after all. And holding a corpse is still holding a corpse.

[ Such a warm person. ]

Unfortunate. [ Kei muses over the lack of those that don't have memories of death. His head turns slightly at the comment of his own rules. ] Well. Yes. I don't consider it one to celebrate. Everyone is born as a blank slate, after all. I might as well be celebrating the birth of a stranger, if we must make a celebration of such moments.

[ Hmphs. He takes another drink, opens his eyes as he looks to the ceiling. A small swallow as he adds: ] I would rather celebrate your life, if I must celebrate anything. I think that is much more meaningful. People make it about the day that a person came into the world, and I agree that everyone deserves life. [ Catholic. ]

But it is what one does with their life that should be really celebrated. "It is wonderful you came into the world because it means I was able to meet you." Is a nice sentiment but hm, I don't think it is quite right.
