Fifty-Seventh Theory [Written/Voice/Action]
[It's sunny and warm and spring, and Don can't wait to get outside. Or he wouldn't be able to wait, if he didn't have such impressive self-control.]
[He diligently starts the morning with his usual exercises, then sits down to leave a few messages in his journal before leaving the house.]

[In translation-shielded kanji:] I WANT PLEASE: SOMEONE IS ABLE TO TEACH TO READ JAPANESE A SLOW STUDENT.
[There. Anyone who can't read that is automatically disqualifed as a teacher; anyone who can should immediately see the need for some teaching.]
[Reminding himself that lack of knowledge is not a cause for shame, but an opportunity to learn, Don closes that filter and opens another.]

[Don will check for replies later - for now, he closes the journal, takes his gear, and quietly leaves the house. He'll be spending the next few hours meandering among the cherry trees, looking for early blooms.]
[Anyone who meets him may notice he now wears a silver chain around his wrist, half-visible where it laces through the leather wrappings.]

[He's learned that the OCD sufferers in his life sometimes prefer cleaning things themselves, but that doesn't mean he feels good about leaving messes for them.]
[Action]
[That much is true; Robert offers a reassuring smile as well.]
And you are... tired. You should rest.

[Gently:] See you in the morning...
[And he turns off to deal with the remainder of the dishes, before putting himself to bed.]
