Someone that I used to know during my school years passed away, due to a drug overdose. He was once my neighbor too.
I recently had that with another classmate during Memorial Day weekend. The fact that both of them have a child left behind or soon to be born is sad with no parental figure to guide them through life so young.
Meanwhile I am on turn 350 in chapter 21 and still have not built Ike and Zihark up to around level 14/15 as I'm expecting lmao. Pretty much got many of them up to almost 20/20 and Reyson hit max level. Only thing is that I'd like to keep some of them as high as possible so I can be able to hit some serious damage later in the game. Now that I'm experiencing this and I like it, I plan to do this boss abuse more with the girls run once I start a new data. Holy **** this is ****ing crazy but worth it! Just run the iron, steel, and throwing weapons to build crazy experience points and have characters like Reyson carry extras. Laguzguard helps big time when trying to avoid doubling your attacks when you can rescue someone to save more weapons and more exp. points
I'm concerned for Lethe when she becomes weak during the playthrough though. Doesn't help that she's the only female Laguz you can play as in the game at that point :/

Reyson: 20 (max skill)
