Hello.
I forgot to mention to you in the middle of the day, I had a call and I had a request.
But then
On the field of everything, I said, well, this is one of the great stories.
I said, we cannot be ready yet.
We'll have to wait until after all of the return.
But that means what we have done.

So tell me, because after 28 months, we were going to be able to talk about it a little bit later.
All right.
Okay.
