Mn... Guess I came at the wrong time, before... I'll help tomorrow, then.

At least things will hopefully go a lot more... Steady, in the next while. At the very least...

I can enjoy the tranquility of the forest, without worrying that something might happen... Something unfavorable, at the least. Things will always keep happening here.

...But maybe right now, nothing "bad" will happen. Just to have a bit of peace.

...You've been spending time in the forest, recently?

[Private to Shikou]

...Also, may I have the contact information for your psychiatrist?

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. It's quite peaceful. Wouldn't you agree? The sounds. The smells. Much better than most environments I'm usually in...

[Private to Souha]

...Ah? Yeah, of course.

...Why? Are you thinking of going to see them more?

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Mn... Too much plant-life, to be honest. Far too flammable. Far too tempting.

[Private to Shikou]

Yeah, I think... They might be useful for me. To help me fix my own head.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

Still seems to be rather pleasant, to me. So I guess we don't share that opinion...

[Private to Souha]

...You do know what they specialize in, right?

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

...Even if it wasn't in danger of being set on fire, I'd rather avoid anything in there that might eat me.

[Private to Shikou]

...Yeah, I'm well aware.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...Oh, there are things in there that might eat you? I didn't notice anything like that at all.

[Private to Souha]

...Mn... If you're sure on it... I've sent the information directly to your PDA.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

...What, do they all just avoid you?

[Private to Shikou]

Thanks. I should probably see about getting off the island for a bit to see them... And to see my family, as well. It's been far too long since the last time, so...

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...By now? Yes.

[Private to Souha]

Probably a good idea... You'll have to get their permission to go see her, regardless, given what she does do.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

...I was joking, Shikou.

[Private to Shikou]

Yeah, I know. I should probably drag the snake with as well, at least for seeing them... He hasn't seen any of them in as long as I have, either; he probably misses at least one of them...

...When do you think you'll be able to meet them?

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

I wasn't.

[Private to Souha]

...Probably not for a while... Right now, I think I should stay here, until the end of the school year, at the least.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Keh. What, did you eat something in there, and now they're afraid of you?

[Private to Shikou]

...Any reason why?

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...Basically?

[Private to Souha]

Personal reasons. I'm not intruding on what you're doing, correct?

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

...Isn't the school's food good enough?

[Private to Shikou]

You're not, but... Frankly, you've been acting odd recently, as it is.

[Private to Souha]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...Not exactly. Not by now. It's... Hard to live off of something like that now, after all of this.

...Mn? Odd? How have I been acting odd, Souha?

Re: [Private to Souha]

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

...Maybe you should go and see your psychologist again, then. If you're having that much trouble.

It's... Hard to place, but you've been acting unnatural. More... Smug, controlling. More as a leader and an active individual, instead of standing off to the side like I've seen you do.

That... And I can't help but remember how you spoke before, to Kanna. Where did that come from, Shikou?

Re: [Private to Souha]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...No. It's alright. I don't need to see her yet.

...Hahahah... Nowhere, Souha, just... It's how I act, that's all. I'm just finally more comfortable to be as such, instead of staying so closed up.

Re: [Private to Souha]

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

...Shikou...

Why do I feel as though you're hiding something?

Re: [Private to Souha]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

Because I might be? Or I might not. I have my reasons for acting the way I do; don't you, as well?

There's nothing to be suspicious about, though... Just relax, and don't break yourself.

Re: [Private to Souha]

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

...You are hiding something. Why are you hiding something from me, when you tried so hard to make me open up to you? To make me accept you?

Re: [Private to Souha]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

You're being paranoid, Souha. Just calm down.

Re: [Private to Souha]

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Shikou.

Stop.

Re: [Private to Souha]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

Stop what? I'm not doing anything. I'm not saying anything odd. I'm not even hiding anything, as you so claim.

Why can't you accept the fact that I wouldn't lie to you?

Re: [Private to Souha]

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Because I think I'd be capable of telling when you're trying to hide something.

Why don't you just come out and say it?

Re: [Private to Souha]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...Because there is nothing to say at all, Souha.

It's getting late. You should rest.

Good night.

Re: [Private to Souha]

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Shikou. Stop trying to hide.

I want to know what the hell keeps going on in your head, that you're trying to pull this.

Re: [Private to Souha]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

I'm not hiding anything. I'm not lying, and there's nothing different.

You're just being paranoid. Something that would happen with a lack of rest, you realize...

You should catch up on it, before you shatter.

Re: [Private to Souha]

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Damnit, I'm not being paranoid, Shikou. I know something is up. I'm not an idiot. The only reason I'm not tracking you down myself was because Erland said there was nothing to worry myself about, that you're doing.

But I don't feel comfortable with the fact that you're outright lying to me, and not only that, but taunting me, as well!

Re: [Private to Souha]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...Hah... Hahahah... How amusing, to be honest.

How active your imagination can be.

Rest, Souha. You'll think more clearly in the morning.

Re: [Private to Souha]

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

I am thinking clearly.

What the hell is going on?

Re: [Private to Souha]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

Good night, Souha.

Sleep well.

Re: [Private to Souha]

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

...Keh.

[xgodsaysnox.livejournal.com]

I apologise for hurting you and your brother.

Thank you for getting me the help that I need.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...Thank you, and you're welcome, Mr. Yukio. I hope they've been treating you well.

[xgodsaysnox.livejournal.com]

Well enough as can be expected, given my crimes.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

Are they at least treating you with the respect given to someone who is technically a patient, given how you mentioned help, Mr. Yukio?

[xgodsaysnox.livejournal.com]

They treated me with the respect that was affordable at the time.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...Mn. Only what was affordable, huh?

I'll make sure, that at the very least, I shall treat you with the respect you need and deserve; not the respect to someone who caused trouble, or despair, but the respect to someone who is obviously intelligent... The respect to someone who shall get the continued help he needs.

[xgodsaysnox.livejournal.com]

I would rather not talk about it.

Thank you. It calms me to know it shall not happen again.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

I wasn't trying to push it. I respect your own privacy.

You're welcome, Mr. Yukio.

[xgodsaysnox.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

And thanks again.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

You're welcome... I'm sorry that force ended up being needed to get you help, though.
