Things are starting to settle down again and it's... peaceful. I like sitting in the sun on the balcony, now that it's warmer... but I wish there were more plants. All Roy seems to have is a cactus, and- and I think it might be dead. But at least Mr.- I mean, Maes, is out of hospital. He's getting better.
I held his hand yesterday. He was asleep in Roy's chair, and I didn't think he would mind. I wanted to check his soul tree. It's... not very big, but it's strong, and there's a lot of new growth. Suiseiseki would be pleased with it.
...only...
...Suiseiseki has been acting strangely this week. And I'm worried. On Tuesday she got angry when Roy asked her to set the table- but we always do that together for him!- and she shut herself in our bedroom.
She ignored me until bedtime, when she got in next to me and I... I think she wanted to cry. She was okay on Wednesday. Well. She was very quiet, which is strange too, but I think it was because her stomach was hurting. Then- on Thursday-
-she shouted at me. And she has never done that. I mean... I don't... mind, really. I was shocked, more than upset, but...
...she was really withdrawn again yesterday, and kept touching her stomach again though she doesn't look ill. I'm... afraid there's something wrong, and she isn't telling me.
Suiseiseki...?
