Yeah, yeah, I'm fine...
...Yes, I'm alive, for those actually wondering. ...I've just been incredibly distracted ever since the earthquake hit. I've been in contact with those who matter most, but I apologize to anyone else I've worried. ...Updating a journal seemed like the least of my concerns.
...Largely because I've spent the past several days sitting in a hospital room in the National Children's Hospital....next to my little sister's bed. ...Unfortunately, she was one of the earthquake's victims, and got hit in the head by a big chunk of debris that broke off from our apartment complex. She had been out cold since then, and me and my family had been panicked and worrying over her because of all of it, especially since she'd lost quite a bit of blood when she got hit. But she finally regained consciousness today, much to everyone's relief, and I'm pretty sure there were happy tears all around as a result~ ...But we still don't know yet the extent of the damage done from her hit. Physically, with time and a lot more rest, she ought to heal up just fine. ...But mentally...we aren't sure yet. She seems okay at the moment, though. And that's all I can ask for. ...In fact, I'm content enough with that that I'm not even going to complain about my father currently being present. ...Right now, my whole family is just happy Namari is alive and fairing well.
...So I'm taking a moment away from her side for the first time since we got here finally to catch up with everything. ...Once this is over with, me and my mother will have to look over the apartment and decide if we want to stay there anymore. We really do like the place a lot. It isn't exactly upper class or nice and new. ...In fact, it's pretty odd. Built in the mid-20s, I think. ...But it has a warm atmosphere to it and all the people there are good, kind people. Plus it's cheap. ...But it wasn't exactly built with the best quality materials, and with the help of age and a natural disaster, it's an accident waiting to happen. ...And I don't know if I can afford another accident. Not when it comes to my family. No matter how comfortable I am there.
[OOC: A few folks already know, and I know Sakurai would've been with him the entire time so of course he knows, but Tetsu would've made calls to his friends to make sure they're all okay and to let them know where he is. Yes, that includes you Kai. >>]
