[This obnoxious message is sent with an even more obnoxious ascii smiley face. I'm so sorry.]

"Why do you like smiles so much?" "What's with you and smiling?" "How can you keep smiling like that?" These are questions I hear a lot!

It's very simple. Smiles are important to me! And I want to see one on the face of everyone I meet. real ones - no fake smile is going to make you feel good. You can't tell me they're not important.

Why am I bringing this up again? Because today would have been World Mile Day back where I'm from! Well, if this calendar and that one lined up, they would. Close enough! It was a very new thing instituted where I was from. Not a major holiday by any means, but that's okay. It was made in honor of the man who designed the smiley face logo. A pretty good guy in my book! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)

What this means is: today you should try to make at least one person smile. Do something nice, tell someone a joke, give them a compliment! They'll enjoy it, and you'll feel good too. Maybe even smile in return! ;D

[ Indirectly, it may lead to delighted or hopeful feelings, and Mr. Sorrow had said -- the sooner Mr. Hope had raised the rest, the sooner they would consider trying to send them home. ]

I know some people VERY good at faking, and I can still see through them. You can't fool me! (v^ー°)

Everyone calls me daft, but it doesn't stop me. Pretty much nothing will!

A useful talent, I'm sure.

[ It sounds and is sarcastic, but -- does that mean he can discern a lie, generally? If he's truly that good? ]

I suppose that, too. Blind obstinacy?

It suits me just fine! And I guess you could call it that. I prefer to tell people it's optimism.

[When he says it's literally the only thing he wants out of people, he means it.]

[ One of those simple fools... but not really the sort of person against whom Hermann has any complaints.

Which is extremely rare. ]

As an optimist would say, yes. Well, good luck.
