un: n.komaeda

a moment of everyone's time please, i hope trash like me asking this won't offend anyone...
today is a special someone's birthday...

( on the pda recently in the day, there's a message that was sent from komaeda to a certain someone, and that could connect a few dots of who this is about, maybe. )

so i'd like you all to wish him a happy birthday here, and i'll show him when i see him again!
if anyone feels inclined, i think for gifts he'd like anything that resembles a dog, and i'm not sure... but he seems like a salad sort of guy.
i'll even pay for services, or it can be out the kindness of your heart! now now, let's start off strong, who wants to type the birthday song?

when the rain falls, when the wind blows...

( feels like it got a little sad. )

[starrypoint]

i stop and recall my old country home

[me, taking out the "of" that definitely does not need to be there]

[commences]

( that's not how that goes, he's aware, but he doesn't stop as he continues: )

some day when i have done what i set out to do.

[starrypoint]

i'll return home one of these days!!

[ah, maybe, someday, someday--]

[commences]

( and without warning. )

when fortune smiles on me, then Furusato...

[starrypoint]

[there's a pause, because subaru wasn't expecting it,

but he has always followed komaeda, so he will now too]

i will return to you, i love you so

[commences]

hm?
why did you use that line?

( they went through almost every verse, but the finale could use the last two lines from the other translations.

komaeda expected subaru to use the so called english translation. )

[starrypoint]

[?

... how about he doesn't answer that]

what were u expecting?

[commences]

( he hums, tapping his pda. )

we went through almost every version of the verse.
there was one more.

[starrypoint]

[............ oh,]

i do kinda remember something from english class...
i hear it calling me, my country home?
something like that
