I was standing next to Sarah (left) during the party, and I turned to say something superficial and party-conversation-ish. But I couldn't. I just looked at her, wearing that great yukata, smiling, about to go home, and said "Don't... Don't go." Their program was so short compared to mine that, it seems as though it ended almost as soon as it started. But for the small amount of time we were together, I wasn't the only exchange student foolishly stumbling around MWU. It made me feel really understood, and really happy. I'll miss you guys.
