Entry 243; Day 3

[misterblackbird]

Despite all the stories I've heard about last week and everything that went on, it still seems to me like the City hasn't really changed. I'm sure there have been a few arrivals and a few departures, but it seems very much like I left it. That's how it always seems to work here: chaos erupts, but everything falls back into place at the end. I

So you managed to not only leave the city, but just at the appropriate time as well. I wish I we had your luck.

And I thought everyone lost their memories when leaving this place.

[misterblackbird]

It seemed like I was returned to the same place and time. I can't imagine that my being gone for a more than a year and a half would be met calmly.

I certainly didn't remember this place when I was at home. I thought it was all a dream. But I remembered everything once I returned here. I put that down to the City's ways.

[seeking_heat]

Haaah, not only to they erase, or at least not make them recognizable, your memories here, but return you to the point in time they seize you. That would explain how there's only a 5-minute gap in our seizing, yet Nii-san lived here for months.

Tohno Akiha, by the way.

[misterblackbird]

I wouldn't give the 'deities' credit enough to control my world or anyone else's world. I would think their controlling our coming and going, controlling our memories of this place, and returning us to the time we left are the most power they have. It's a sort of loophole for their power.

Cain Hargreaves. A pleasure to meet you. Miss Tohno, is it? Are you related to Shiki at all?

[seeking_heat]

Hearing that is nothing short of relieving to me. I certainly wouldn't want them controlling any of our worlds.

Pleasure to meet you, Cain-san. Yes, I'm his younger sister.

[misterblackbird]

If they were to have that power, why would they be so petty and ridiculous in this one world?

I see. For all that we don't wish that others would suffer with us here, I'm sure he's glad to have you with him.

[seeking_heat]

Possibly out of familiarity, if they did have such power.

Haah, I'm unsure of that statement. I've been nothing but a possible hindrance. If he weren't here, I'd have even more problems in this City.

[misterblackbird]

I still refuse to give them that much credit.

As an elder brother myself, I'm inclined to disagree.
