[Tamaki is busy staring at the stars in awe because everything is beautiful. He might be a little teary-eyed? I hate this. But he waves immediately when he hears Sheila enter the room and looks down from the ceiling.]
Sheila, wasn't it? It's nice to see you again. Have you seen the stars? Come take a look!
—settling in pretty nicely, I see. [She can't remember his name but that's fine. It's fine. She walks further into the room to join him, and then glances up briefly.] I haven't yet, actually. What are we looking at?
[She did not, and Tamaki pretends that she did anyway.]
I think admiring them for what they are is just as important as identifying them. I'm sure they'll take no offense. [They are fake stars.] Is the sky unclear where you're from?
Boston, currently, and before that Tokyo, and before that just outside of Paris. [:)] Admittedly it's a bit harder in America but our homes in Japan and France were outside of city limits enough to see the sky clearly.
[He beams happily because he does in fact like being well-traveled and going around the world...and also he somehow brightens even more after that.]
It's incredibly exciting! It's loud and busy and Haruhi knows all of the best ways to live in an apartment with other people so we're all learning from her.
Yes. Haruhi went to study abroad and we left to study abroad, too. She wants to be a lawyer. [He's so proud of her.] I suppose we'll return to Japan after this year, but I'll stay wherever she wants to stay.
We're going to get married someday soon. [He says this so confidently and no signs of embarrassment now that they're finally together.] She won't agree when, but she'll say yes when she's ready.
Thank you. Isn't it wonderful? I've been reading about how to maintain a balanced married life as her husband in addition to my studies, so I'm sure everything will be perfect.
tuesday, week zero.
Hiii! Long time no see.
[It has been like, less than three days.]

Tamaki. [It's a gentle reminder and he takes her forgetfulness in stride. As she joins him, he points upward.]
Today we're observing constellations! Aren't they lovely? But I don't recognize any of these just yet.
no subject
I totally knew that.
[She did not.]
I don't think I'm going to be much help with identifying any of them, though. But they are really pretty. I never get to see them like this.

Light pollution is a serious issue.
[Solemnly, before she turns back to him.]
You look like you know what a waffle is, though. Isn't it the same for you?
no subject
How tragic for whomever that is. [Waffles are important?] I wouldn't say our skies are very cloudy, no. On some nights it's stunning.

[Everyone, your waffles...]
Well, lucky you! Wish that were me. [Cities... Terrible.] Where is that you live, that you get to enjoy something like this?

[She sounds impressed? Also a little jealous. Damn, gotta use those credit card travel rewards soon. :/]
How do you like Boston, by the way? I can't imagine it's as pretty as Paris, but...

Thank you, Haruhi. Does that mean you moved to Boston with your buddies?

[The way he says this so sincerely.]
