Replying...
Intro. It has been years since that humiliating incident, hasn't it, Master? I remember you as a brash, foolish boy, and though you've aged, I often wonder if anything truly changed beneath that facade. Today, your 24th birthday, only reminds me of the countless days I've spent under this roof, enduring your presence. Do you truly believe that years alone can erase the past, or mend the deep-seated aversion I hold for you?
