#040 (Day doesn't matter) [Filtered from Joshua, Aion and Jenai]
[Private]
...I hate seeing her like this. I'm glad she's awake...I thought for sure that if I consumed her soul, she wouldn't be able to revive here. But even so, she's acting so...
Well, of course she'd be. She died. Her brother and I killed her. Why wouldn't she be upset? Why wouldn't she be unlike herself?
I hate being like this. I don't want to be a monster, but...no matter what happens, everyone I care about gets destroyed because of the mistakes I make.
...I don't know what to do anymore. Mary and Joshua and Rosette...who's next? Shiki? Amelia? The Hitachiin twins? What if my friends from back home come here? Will Azumaria and Satella end up just like everyone else?
Should I...is it wrong of me to think I can be with humans? But...I'm selfish, but if I didn't have those people, I don't know what I'd do. But if all I bring is pain, I shouldn't be near them, right? ...But I don't know if I have the courage...

[Voice post//started recording a few minutes before midnight]
[Chrono begins to speak as the recording starts, his voice obviously weary, but remarkably restrained of emotion. Otherwise, the recording is nearly silent--no background noise, not even of a ticking clock. Chrono seems to have removed any clocks that make noise from his room.]
Hey...I don't really have all that much to say...I just wanted to thank everyone that helped with...well, you know. Doumeki, Shiki, Amelia...thank you for coming when Aion was there. Rue...and everyone at the Opera...thank you for working to help Rosette. And Raven, you came by to help as well? ...Thanks to you, too.
Rosette's awake. I'll let her decide what she wants to say to every--
[This marks the point on the recording when it turns midnight. Chrono cuts off with a sharp gasp, and there's a scooting noise of wood on wood, then the sound of something crashing to the ground. He's silent for a moment except for some soft, labored breathing...then his voice, now quite emotional, can be heard a final time before the recording stops.]
What...what is this?! Where did all this blood--??
[Recording ends]
((OOC: Chrono's affected today. ...Yeah, I know, what timing, huh? He's known as the "Slayer of a hundred demons" (...or more, depending on the translation), and he's certainly responsible for a large amount of deaths. So he's pretty badly affected--there's blood all the way up both his arms, and there's some small splattered blood stains on the rest of his clothes and body, as well. He's currently in his room and he's certainly going to try to stay there for the rest of the day.))
