Last year at Anime Expo 2018, I made the tragic error of accidentally dumping an entire squad’s snacks onto a table, assuming it was for the general consumption of all Registration volunteers. This triggered a prompt response from Samantha Mitchell, the captain of said squad, who I sincerely apologized to and have been seeking forgiveness from ever since.
That being said, this weekend at the Anime Expo retreat gave us ample opportunity to talk and reflect on prior said experiences, whether it be on a bus, standing, or through eating lunch.
Now that we have eaten together and have ample conversations outside of talking about the past, we can move onto a brighter and more beautiful future, one that entails eating a delicious 2-course meal that didn’t include dessert.
I’m sure now that we are “best friends”, we can look forward to a happier time on Fourth of July weekend. As part of my newly added New Year’s Resolution, I swear to not distribute a squad’s snacks to other people ever again. As for the rest of Squad 6 though, they will never forget…
I hope Samantha gets better soon, her back feels better, and the rest of year is eternal bliss.
