    Prousette, u watched Crush the movie?I think the starting line is 'It's the sense of touch.Any real city, you walk, you're bumped, brush past people....think we miss that touch so much,we crash into each other just to feel something', i guess its the same case with Nai.
    Shiroh that is so true about Nai esp. about people always talkin even to strangers.Done that lotsa times ;)
