[ He sounds like he's... been thinking, and he has been. There's something on his mind. A few things on his mind, actually. But there's a particular thought that sticks out. He lifts up his hand, and rests his chin in his palm. He tries not to fidget with the ring on his finger, so he just focuses hard on the camera. ]

Curious question. I've been here a year, and I realize, after all this time, that I am missing some people I never thought I would miss. In most ways, this place feels like home, but it's the absence of them that makes it not.

Still, I wouldn't trade it - being here. I'm genuinely happy. I want to make the most of my time here, still. Continue learning while I'm here. Getting good at what I was never good at.

[ He fidgets with his ring, and sits upright. ]

So I guess I want to know... What unexpected things have come to you while you're here?
