freetalk for 3.5.07: We've skipped ahead almost a month in the timeline (as noted by the 'following weeks' in the first panel--around mid/late March). Mitsuru is still trying to get ahold of Ryo, unfortunately, it's not working. Watanabe is sick with a cold (as a result from his walk home in the rain in the last chapter--and yes, colds can last quite awhile, as I have experienced countless times over *sneeze*). Whatever shall become of this trio . . . ? (Note: The book 'Nabe is reading? It's called 'Parry Hotter.' Ha! He ditched the adult magazines for the time being for something more 'intellectual' XD)
