It's the same, but that doesn't mean that losing someone doesn't still hurt, even if they're still out there somewhere. We can focus on the trial, but that's not going away, either. So... no, I wouldn't say I'm okay. But the one bright side is that he'll get to see ZenZen and Mimi a little sooner.
... I guess... if there is a bright side, it's that he will be allowed to spend a little more time with the ones he's mourned. They're closer than we think, Miyoshi-san. We will see them soon.
