Hello everyone. My name is Julius Visconti.

Allow me to take this opportunity to formally thank all of you. I was held in prison for some time along with some others. I understand how much trouble you went through just to aid us.

There isn't a lot I can do to repay the favor. For that I apologize.

[He bows his head down in apology.]

I promise that I'll work even harder from now. [It's the least he can do around here. Julius isn't going to waste his time.]

On another note, I'd like to ask you all a question.

What do you know about magic? I've been intrigued by its concept and origins for some time, yet I hardly know anything. Magic is a difficult thing for me to grasp. I'd appreciate it if we could sit down and discuss it in detail.

[Julius laughs a little.]

You know I don't need to tell you this, but you shouldn't leave everything to the last minute. It'll be harder for you to focus clearly.

[He understands though, sometimes it's like that with his job too. Either you get busy or something happens and suddenly you find yourself doing last minute work...]

[keystaff]

I know! I just get really excited and distracted when we have break, with my friends and sometimes dad has taken us on trips, so.....

[So she kind of forgets about homework in the process. To the point where Toya jokes that it's a tradition each year for her to run around that last week or so getting her homework done.]

[viscontree]

What kind of trips do you go on? Forgive me for being curious.

I don't know a lot about your world. I simply wish to learn more.

[A family vacation? It's not something he can easily imagine. There's too much destruction and war in his world. ]

[keystaff]

Well, one time, dad rented a place out in the country we got to visit! That was fun. I just wish Tomoyo-chan hadn't been busy with choir to come with us too.

[And that isn't counting some school trips to pools, camping of sorts, the aquarium, ice skating, that sort of thing. But it's never really that far, certainly she's never been outside of the country.]

[viscontree]

It sounds really nice. I never experienced anything like that before.

[Having a fun time with family and friends. Speaking with Sakura gives him some hope that more things will change for him in the future.]

You must miss being with your friends and family.

[keystaff]

No? I would say we could here but....

[Well. Still kind of difficult. Given the focus on the missions with ALASTAIR and all. Though some missions may not be as dangerous, it's still hard to say if they might ever get a chance to get away for a bit and relax.]

Ah....I do. But I'm still making new friends here! And if I keep helping ALASTAIR, I'll see Syaoran-kun and Tomoyo-chan and everyone again!

[viscontree]

Sakura, I think of you as friend. [Admitting these things is always strange to Julius. It's not something he's used to saying, but it's really how he feels.]

It's better to meet more people you can trust and yes-- I believe that you'll be reunited with them.

We just have to work hard. [ALASTAIR better hold up their end of the bargain and send them home once this is completed.]

[keystaff]

You are a friend! I didn't mean you weren't.

[Still, he's not wrong. The more allies they gain, the more chance they have of completing these missions, surely. If they can learn to work together. Either towards helping in general because people need them, or to gain a way back home.]

I'm sure I will! We just need to keep at it.
