I've been wondering this for a while. If someone would kindly take the time to explain why it is that the seasons don't change?


Ah... and for those I'd brought concern to before... I'm feeling far better. Perhaps it was just an adjustment I needed to make.

A fire I'm not responsible for. That's a pleasant change of times

I do try to keep up with these things, but, I can't seem to find the report of whom this Milkman was running against.

Another year, and I could have voted myself.

Having to experience something such as a language barrier was certainly interesting but, it made little difference to me honestly. I was surprised at how many people I could still talk to, however, I didn't appreciate the looks that woman in my house gave me.

**Akiha is walking home. Or... simply walking, nowhere in particular, but down a residential street, so it assumed she's walking home. A breeze blows by, blowing her skirt and her hair in a rather dramatic fashion. But, it makes something click in a way**

Autumn's setting in... I feel fine... **For her, this is a strange time of year where she'd usually be bundling up more, even before winter.**

At least some good has come of this place...

**Today, Akiha is walking to school. Well, it's not like she has a reliable mom with a vehicle to drive her, much less her handmaids who did that for her before. But, walking is fine anyway. She couldn't possible take the bus as she missed it. She simply felt ill this morning and didn't want to leave bed.

You know, walking to school is probably the worst time to feel ill. Cuz, what're the odds anyone will come across you that's not going to tell you you're late for school? Well... adults usually, but, how many of the adults aren't drones?

Who's going to take care of the girl who's suddenly doubled over in pain. And even more suddenly upheaved this morning's breakfast? Surely someone will help her?**

Of all days...

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised he'd forget it was my birthday. I don't think we even spent enough time together for him to have been around for one. Even though I am, I shouldn't be mad at him...

Is this supposed to make me feel better? Pictures of me and this... boy are forged, and in return, I'm given my tea set? Is this some sort of payment for the mental anguish? That's by far the most...


Ugh... the sooner I get home, the better.

How troublesome. Just as I bring Shiki home... I'm kidnapped. And by demented people as well. It's a wonder how I even posed for these photos. Am I supposed to believe these people are my parents.

It's not even amusing. Though, I must say they've done well to make it looks as though I've posed willingly. It's a wonder what sort of drug or spell was used.

No matter. I'll simply figure out what the address is here, and have Hisui pick me up. I should return home, to Shiki, quickly.

**And, on the phone now**

Connect me to the Tohno estate.

What... don't tell me I'm already there. This is NOT my house. My name is Akiha tohno miss. No, this is NOT my house! I demand you connect me to the Tohno estate!

Don't you...

Ugh...
