BUT THE CRYING IS PROOF OF YOUR LOVE!!! God, I cried so much when I first read Hikago. I don't cry anymore, but that's because after the third time around it gets to be a bit hard to be surprised by Sai's leaving. omgspoiler!

Yep, I do plan on coming back from Japan in a year or three. Possibly even two. I like Translink Vancouver my family my dog too much to stay in Japan permanently. I will stalk you once I go back so we can have Katamari/Hikago hijinks!
