ICP 07. I'm in love with my own sins...
Tonight is the Lantern Festival, something that I look forward to every year. I'm not exactly sure why, though. I suppose it's simply a childish habit that I've yet to outgrow. But in all honesty, a part of me hopes that I never do. We are guided by our past, after all. And though it is sometimes painful to remember... it was one of my most cherished memories.

[PRIVATE] Everything has been arranged. So unless plans have changed, I'll meet you at the pagoda after the fireworks. Correct? [/PRIVATE]

I trust that I'm still meeting up with you and Mrs. Tanaka, Miss Shizune? And I hope it is alright but Neji has decided to come with me. I think a little festivities would do him some good. From what I've heard from Hinata, the preparations for the party have been trying at best, for all parties involved. If you wish, Neji, you can extend the invitation to her as well. I'm sure she would enjoy a night away from party planning.

However, due to some last minute business, I'm afraid that I will have to leave you all after the parade and fireworks. I apologize for that. Perhaps the three (or four, depending on if Hinata wishes to come along) of you can continue to enjoy the night without me? I hope that would not be too much trouble for you, Miss Shinzue. Or you, Neji.

Again, I apologize. But this is a matter of great importance and could not be rescheduled.
