Today Nobu replied to my email
today is a great day

Hello Layne Rieger,

It seems you are a veritable force. I worry about you even though we have only met, and only by email. I am humbled by your words and even more so with your reason for writing. I sympathize with anyone having to write a math exam. I myself began failing math after acing grade eleven. I guess I got cocky. Don't become cocky, LR.

I wish you well and hope that one day, you will grow up to be a fireman or whatever it is you wish to become.

Officially,

Nobu
