Friend Eric is leaving village today, am happy for him. I will miss him and all his eccentricities. He would often come to me and say things like, "You should teach a dinosaur to sing for me," or, "When you get your first animal companion, you should replace its teeth with gold!" Once he even declared himself Ericano Erico after meeting a Tarutaru and learning that they all have names like that. I will make sure to have many stories for him whenever we can meet again.
