			Kodachi?

	Ranma		You shouldn't talk about people like that.
p 20	letter		P.S. -- I've enclosed a picture to commemorate that
				time we spent together.
			I'm so happy that I feel like scattering them all
				over town.
	Ranma		Can I stop her from distributing it?
	Akane		Coward!  Trying to run away to avoid eating them!?
	Ranma		I don't have time for that.
