September 14th
It seems situations around here have suddenly become more complicated now. In more ways than I suspected. ...On the plus side, business has increased due to the panic. Of course, on one of the many down sides, we can't keep up with the demands and our next shipment isn't due until Thursday at earliest. Let's not even begin to go into the current searching of cargo going on at the docks thanks to matters.
Anyhow, it seems I'm needed somewhere extra important right now. A dear and very close friend of mine is especially effected by this, so it's upon me to see to it that she and her brothers are taken care of. I most definitely won't let her down.
...Also, Shouta-kun, if you have the time, next chance you get to visit the store, would you mind stopping to talk with me for a bit?

I'm not happy. ...And that's putting it politely. In so many ways, I feel incredibly distressed, and I feel I can't really express it with anyone. Yes, I have my friends, and those who are horridly affected by this damn nonsense, like Tomoka. But-- ...But...I don't completely disagree with what I believe to be Aquila's reasoning. I hate them for what they have done to Tomoka and her family, which makes me feel like a terrible person for even thinking that a single thing they do is positive, but I still can't stop thinking that perhaps there is some right thoughts buried within the awfulness.
...Of course, I then wonder if perhaps they'll someday come after me, but for the wrong and misunderstood reasons. I have my connections with the arena and the underground because of what I do, and they could choose to take it the wrong way. ...I just hope they don't hurt those who work for me. Many of them are anima and I already know they would defend me fiercely even if it was against other anima. Most of them were former fighters, after all, and there's one more whom I am trying desperately to help right now. Because of that, I'm hoping all of this doesn't end up affecting him too much negatively. Akaya's in an awful enough situation without any of it to begin with.
