I don’t know if I ever told this story on here but apparently when my mom was back in college one of her final exams was scheduled for the evening of the mash finale and a bunch of students complained and threw a fit until finally the professor was like “show of hands: how many of you are planning on skipping my exam to go watch mash?” And like a good 80% raised their hands and the prof was like “…and what if that meant you failed the entire course?” And apparently only a few students put their hands down so the guy had to reschedule the exam.

Rumour has it, Garrison Low will return to the programme,

at least for a final fare-thee-well to the 13th Inspector.

"Final Farewell", this week?

Mizuki had been very attached to the two kids after her accident, her coma, when she had finally chosen to come back, and they - especially Hotaru - were at least as attached to her. That Mizuki hadn’t answered her own door was worrisome, that these two were here with no sign of her, and so upset. . . ‟Masaki-kun?” Tomoki asked, feeling like he couldn’t catch his breath.
