June 26, 1885 – Thinking

I didn?EUR(TM)t have anytime at all to stop by Hide?EUR(TM)s place the past few days. That man works like a fiend but I must say he is proficient in what he does. Somehow Saya finds this whole event funny, citing that I?EUR(TM)m starting to sound like one of my subordinates, Chou?EUR? Fortunately aside from the usual teasing, Saya has been cooperative waiting for me at the end of the day to pick her up instead of just flittering around this town by herself. I still haven?EUR(TM)t heard word from Kawaji nor Toshio. Sometimes I wonder if I?EUR(TM)ll just be lost in this place. The question though is do I mind?
Unfortunately?EUR? I still do.
Watching Saya in this small town is relatively easy with Kyo?EUR(TM)s help. It is a bit ?EUR“too- easy that I worry. Something feels so surreal in this place but isn?EUR(TM)t this the ordinary life that I?EUR(TM)ve always?EUR? Dreamed about?
I look up the evening sky, a purple shade, streaked with orange. A normal life. Isn?EUR(TM)t this what it?EUR(TM)s supposed to be?
My hands languidly place a cigarette on my lips. Too comfortable?EUR? This place?EUR? I could easily forget about everything here. Start something new and yet?EUR? I have those in Tokyo, my home. Things that shouldn?EUR(TM)t be forgotten. And what about that transfer I asked Toshio a week ago?
A smirk dances on my lips as I exhale. I cannot lie idly?EUR?
Saya comes out and I crush the cigarette under my boot. She comes out with a smile?EUR? and I wonder if the charm of this place has taken her over too?EUR?
What a wonderful dream?EUR? to some.
