So Manji is here.

I'm still so happy. It's like I only realized how much I missed him when he came here - and now I'm just grateful every single day that he's around.

And yet - and yet I can't rest in that gratefulness. Because he's from earlier. Because he'll still get captured. And when I go back, he'll still be in danger.

So going back is still my goal, but it's easier now - well, in some way easier and in some way harder. I don't know.

Maybe that demon was -- no.

At the end of the day, things are still the same. And yet I know I'll have to change them someday. Make a difference.

Which way should I go?

Well, that was interesting. Somewhat stressful, but interesting. Also that I went to a private girl's school - it sort of mirrors my own education; even if the rest wasn't much like it. Schools are usually private at home. Public schools and the compulsion that everyone must attend school, that's not really known.

It's been a while.

And the mischief I got into during those three days! I swear I wasn't that bad. Well, all young children get into trouble now and then... but it's safe. At the end of the day, there's still... there's still mommy and daddy and friends and teachers. Pretty harmless compared to some other things I've dealt with - and not least of all the City.

... I hope no one was seriously harmed during this curse. For all its seeming harmlessness, you never know.

I'm not sorry.

Hmm... so. There's an idea that's been in my head for a while.

Thanks.

Well... it's on the investigation side of things?

Investigation is good. If you want help, I could do... something.

I don't know? Lockon and I just discussed a possible meeting where such things could be brought up.

Is there anywhere in the City where a meeting might take place without the deities' knowledge?

That's a valid question - but at least it would be better than the network?

Very true.

I just want to start doing something.

Yeah, I know how that feels.
