[Meet Snake.

Snake is leafing through some pages in an taupe coloured folder. Probably records on his students. And murmuring to himself. At least, at first. Feet upon his desk, he is completely the air of Professional Teacher.]

So. Halloween is on its way.
Never really celebrated it myself, but I guess kids will be kids.

I take it I don't have to decorate my classroom for it.
And if I do, one of you students can do it for me.

[In other words, Snake's not in the mood to celebrate.]

[Video feed shows a pot of gracidea flowers upon an otherwise empty windowsill. And no green-haired willowy girl in sight, but she can at least heard.]

I think it's a little interesting how something can be gone and consequently missing, and yet sometimes it can still be present. I planted these with Professor Cyrus almost two years ago. These flowers, I mean. And I remember the day that I did vividly, because it was one of those times that we were arguing.

We don't really ever forget the people we crossed paths with, I guess, even when we want to. After all, there are things I want to forget too. But I'm beginning to think that I'm going about it the wrong way. Instead of wanting to escape a past, or to pretend people from the past don't exist, I think I should at least be embracing the time I spent with them while they were here.

[It doesn't take a genius to put together that she means both Sonny and Cyrus when she speaks. Except those who didn't know either.]

It's better to be thankful than it is to be held back. Smash Academy, can you tell me what you're thankful for? It doesn't have to be a person. It can be a thing, an ideal, a belief - whatever you want. I'm simply curious.
