*Today in your Journal an unsigned written message pops up. It's so messy that it might take you a couple of minutes to actually be able to tell what it says. Also, some of the words are misspelt (she's still learning how to spell english properly okay) and it's written really small like someone was hesitating to write it in the first place

Don't tell me you're worried about this, Meiling.

[lotusgatekeeper]

... How did you know?! Did you see me writing this? Where are you?

[Voice/Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

You told me you weren't very good at writing, and in the past you've always seemed kind of self-conscious about being cute. I figured this might've stemmed from the shopping trip you took with Charle.

...So I took a wild guess. Man, that would've been awkward if I was wrong. But I'm down in my room.

[Voice/Filtered]

[lotusgatekeeper]

I guess that's kind of it... I was excited while buying all of those cute clothes but I still haven't worn any of them.

But... er... there's something else too.

[Voice/Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

Huh? What's the matter?

[Voice/Filtered]

[lotusgatekeeper]

Aha, um, last week someone's... sister told me that someone might have feelings for me.. So I... I said it was impossible. But I haven't been able to get it off of my mind since then. Pretty dumb, right?

[Voice/Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

No, not really. It can feel like a pretty big deal if someone suggests that. I mean, you start wondering if you feel the same way, and how to deal with it, whether you do or don't.

It can be a pretty big weight on your mind.

[A weight he's had quite a bit of experience with.]

[Voice/Filtered]

[lotusgatekeeper]

Yeah... that's exactly it. But I still thought it might be impossible so I thought I should ask...

Maybe I should have gotten someone to write for me. I'm still not very good at it.

[Voice/Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

[He pauses for a moment.]

Well. If you want an answer to your question?

[Another slight pause, but only to take a breath.]

Absolutely. You shouldn't worry about being boyish in how you act or look. That's who you are. Never be afraid of that.

And of course boyish girls can end up being cute. You remember when I said you were cute? You may have been in Sakuya's dress, but... I was talking about you, not the clothes. And I haven't changed my mind about that just because you're wearing your other clothes again.

[...There's that sincere, simple honesty out of him again.]

[lotusgatekeeper]

Well if you think so I guess it's possible for someone else to think so too, right? It's still weird to think about but I guess I'll have to accept it.

... Thanks, Adell.

Ah! But you know... I don't even know if his sister was right. She didn't seem to understand him much at all.

[Voice/Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

Well, sisters can be wrong. Guess you'll have to wait and see if this guy takes any initiative.

[Voice/Filtered]

[lotusgatekeeper]

Yeah, I hope I see him again. I haven't since all of that crazy people switching stuff was going on.

[Voice/Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

Yeah, that was kind of nuts and I'm glad it's over. I suspect I'm not the only one.

[Voice/Filtered]

[lotusgatekeeper]

Yeah... I couldn't tell who anyone was.

[Voice/Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

Me either. Or anyone else. Did you know Patchouli threw a book at me when I was Rozalin? She's got quite an arm when she wants to.

[Voice/Filtered]

[lotusgatekeeper]

Haha! That's my Patchouli! I'll have to ask her about that!
