And suddenly, the City looks familiar! It's not quite the same, but it's pretty close to home! That's... nice on the one hand, but also doubles the nostalgia. One way or the other, it's pretty amazing. I think this is the first curse that changes the whole City that I witness.

Of course, this also means doing things the old-fashioned way. Not that I really mind, but some inventions are really useful if a little weird and scary at first, if you're not used to them. Except for the network device - of course, that must be had! Not logical at all, but then, the City's never been. I ought to be used to it by now.

Almost half a year that I've been here. Time sure flies! I've known Manji for a whole year now. ... and according to the Lunar Calendar, my birthday's coming up soon.

Anyway, the real occasion is, of course, tango no sekku. The City seems to have decided on the date according to the Solar Calendar. Among everything that came together, I almost forgot, but I used the day to get some nice celebrational decoration. I got some really cute dolls at the market! Couldn't afford armor, though. Ah well, can't have everything, right? It would be silly to waste the money for one day, anyway...

... getting really nostalgic. Hah. I've got to get a grip or something.

Well! Happy tango no sekku and summer season to everyone!

Speaking of Manji! He came to his senses about two days ago. Until then, he thought I was his little sister - but that included my time in the City. So everything I did here, his little sister did in his mind. So I'd say it was more of a memory change than a loss.

What about your friend?

It's pretty familiar, eh?

... yeah. Almost unbelievable, but that's how it is.

Good! Well, ah, it seems something like that was going around. You weren't the only one whose memory was weird.

[nojerksplz.livejournal.com]

It is! It made me decide to try to make some traditional sweets like Kasumi would, but they didn't turn out too well I think.

It's hard to believe, that we could end up spending so much time here.

I'm so sorry I didn't remember you, it was so rude of me. There were other people who started forgetting?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Really? I gotta try those, too! If you don't mind.

Yeah.

No, it wasn't your fault, after all! ... well, Manji thought I was his sister for a few days.

[nojerksplz.livejournal.com]

Will you really try them? Ryoga-kun promised he would too!

...oh, that must have been so strange. So people weren't just forgetting their time in the City?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Sure!

Seems like it. Manji was perfectly aware of the City - he even thought his sister had made friends here.

[nojerksplz.livejournal.com]

I'll bring some over then!

That's really weird! Was it another curse?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Good! I'm making some too, probably.

... I'm not sure. It lasted longer than a day, so it would be an unusual curse.

[nojerksplz.livejournal.com]

I think it's nice to finally get a curse day like this one.

But what else could it be?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

I definitely agree!

... I don't know.

[nojerksplz.livejournal.com]

Maybe it doesn't matter too much now that everything's back to normal.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Hmm, maybe not. Though I can't say I'm not curious.
