They all want to leave me. I know they do. Once the curse is broken they'll no longer be bound to me. Hatori will stay of his own will, as will Kureno, but I doubt even Shigure will truly want to stay with me. He's always up to something. He thinks I don't know, but I do. I won't let them leave me! They are mine! Whether the curse is broken or not they will always be mine! Even Tohru belongs to me now. She'll stay with me. She loves me. I won't let them abandon me.
Hatori has been cross me with me. He thinks I've been keeping things from him. Shigure just has a big mouth. I have done as Hatori asks. I stay in my room resting though only Shigure comes to see me. I eat that vile slop the servants call food and I choke down those damn pills. Perhaps I will speak to Hatori instead of Shigure. That cur runs off to gossip to him the moment he leaves my sight anyway. I should teach him a lesson for that. He will learn to keep his mouth shut!
