Closed Note

Starring Takeuchi Yuko, Sawajiri Erika, and Iseya Yusuke.

Sandylion: May 2006 - July 17, 2008


I woke up this morning only to find that my dear Sandylion Betta fish had passed away overnight.

Further, I also now realize that there are so many small things that I still need to purchase. When you&#8217;re starting from scratch again, it&#8217;s hard to get your things organized so quickly.
