I just realized I've been here over a year...

A year since I've had to stay up all night to deal with ghosts, or worry about ridicule from the town.

A year since I lost Vincent.

I wonder if I've changed at all. Hard to think of anyone staying static in this place.

Feels sort of strange, doesn't it? I've been here long enough that I've started to think of things around here as 'normal.'

We all change. Even if it's just a year, even if nothing much happens, we don't stay the same. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, though.

[spirit_whispers]

It does. I have an odd sense of contentment with this place as well- I find it more pleasant than home in some regards, yet I know I'll have to go back some day.

I suppose it's just hardest to see change in oneself.

[candyswords]

It's odd to think about, but the first few months are the hardest. I've been here for so long now, that I wonder if I could get used to being home again.

[spirit_whispers]

You're probably right, no matter what the person's previous situation was.

Heh, I think you could if it's still home in your mind. And this is all assuming we actually remember our time here.

[candyswords]

I don't know anymore. It is the place where my duty resides and where my friends are, but here seems so much more real to me now. I hadn't been in Kyoto for long before I was brought here anyway.

Which would you consider your home now, Dinah-san?

[spirit_whispers]

Hard to say. I have friends I care deeply for here, and a strange sort of independence. But I have something left to finish back in Bizenghast still, and I've left the last of my family alone.

Ghosts...?

[spirit_whispers]

I've been able to interract with them as long as I can remember. In my own world it led to... I suppose one could liken it to a job. A dangerous and tiring one.

[9ball_wizard]

I see. That's rather admirable, as my experience with ghosts is limited.

[spirit_whispers]

It's a gift that's brought me nothing but trouble. Most of Bizenghast's spirit population seems bent on making my life difficult.
