@Samus: Well just because i lost my spirit doesn't mean i still care for others who wants a Christmas. I guess...this time around and even my birthday aren't the happiest days as i just feel depressed during those days. My emotions may not endure such a holiday but at least i can still attempt to give others happiness that includes you and Kikster
@Kikster: That makes two of us for working during Christmas and New Years but hey that doesn't bother me. Anyway, it's true we've been seeing little and little of Houin in any major part of the story, we'll see if there may be something planned for Houin of some influence. Aoki is a special kind of teacher with a hidden ability to change peoples lives around, we've yet to see half of what he's capable of doing.
