Week 31, Day 4 (backdated) » [text]
[Rin's face greeting the Hitomi today is solemn, quiet, and a bit sad in that "I'll be okay but right now I'm grieving" way. She's looking away for a few seconds, and if you're watching closely, you may see her fidgeting a little -- unsure how to start this post off as she is.
But she figures she should just start already, because she doesn't want to be caught awkwardly avoiding the camera for too long; so she focuses her gaze on it and clears her throat.]
Hello, everyone! I guess -- I think -- ah, hm, how should I put this? Has -- people who've known Gau-kun and Raikou-san, I'm guessing you've seen that dream by now. Right? And you know that they're... not exactly gone, but not exactly around anymore. Yes.
[A pause as she swallows.]
What I wanted to ask was if anyone is taking over their bakery, here in Mizusato? If you want, you can have the rooms above too. I'll find something else. So if you want them, please contact me. I can be out any time.
[Another pause, this time longer, and more deliberate. Rin takes a deep breath, and her expression smoothens out a bit more.]
Besides that, I've been wondering something... how does everyone know when their birthday is? I mean, do you just go with the date? Or do you go with how long it was until your birthday at home when you arrived here? Me, I guess I've been going with the latter, but, hm... the date is important too, I guess.
[Looking a bit distracted here. There's a specific thing she's thinking about, and it's not about having been born that day.
Five years. She'll be turning nineteen. Five years since she lost her parents. She's not been making a fuss about it in Kannagara, but she feels for this anniversary, she should be more exact.
Breaking out of her reverie, a bit of a smile appears on her face.]
A-anyway, please let me know about your thoughts! I'd appreciate it. I really would.

Hyakurin? We -- we haven't really been talking, have we? Sorry about that. Have you been well? Have you been able to settle in? What have you been doing?
[A breathy hint of a laugh, here -- maybe a bit too many questions, here.]
I'd love to hear about it.
[And the feed clicks off.]
