Closure

It was needed. For many years I was laid asleep, occasionally waking to see the world pass by. Too fast in some regards. Watching the…

Enter Tsutomu

Saitou: We finally get to our destination and I can see Eiji waving at us as we are let off the carriage. So he really…

Leaving Aizu

There wasn?EUR(TM)t much time left. The train to Tokyo was leaving in less than an hour. Thankfully I managed to procure us a carriage and…

A Lone Wolf

I decided not to hire a rickshaw even if Kanbee?EUR(TM)s house is quite the distance from where I need to return. It is not a…

Speaking of Speaking, Kanbee is Speaking

I decline Kanbee?EUR(TM)s invitation for lunch, it is way past that after all. Besides, I need to be alone. ?EURoeIt?EUR(TM)s not my place Goro, but…

No Excuses and Letting Go

Tsuyoshi and I leave and I smoke my cigarette furiously. He?EUR(TM)s quiet so unlike earlier but I suppose my disposition has affected him somewhat. I…

Broken Ties – January 1886

Tsuyoshi is one for good rides it seems. He?EUR(TM)s more interested in the sights and keeps pointing things out to me as if he thinks…

Stealing Time Upstairs

I told her I’d move this along. I look around and see everyone busy preparing breakfast. Tsuyoshi steps up to the kitchen counter standing on…

Late Night with Tsutomu

Tsutomu’s quiet. Normally he’d be asking me to tell him about my travels or at least what I did for the day. Back then, he…

He Finally Returns

I had the ahou try to fix the place after she’s been so negligent of warning emails. *sighs* Of course the ahou did a half…

Complainer

Can I tell you I miss you? It?EUR(TM)s only been a week but maybe, just maybe… *stops and lights a cigarette* I never thought making…

Little green apples

Though I wish I was not tied to such an unreliable fool, I also can?EUR(TM)t deny that I find her ?EURoememories?EUR? useful. Though I can’t…

Old things not left behind

Ah it took me a while to get in here. It’s been that -long-. *sighs and lights up a cigarette, pacing around for a minute*…

Good morning…

I’m told I’m being left behind. Heh… Well we didn’t have a restful night last time and the morning might not have been perfect. Maybe…

A drink with an old friend

“Come on Goro! Don’t tell me you’ve mellowed over the years.” He chuckles and hands me another drink. I shouldn’t be drinking so much but…

Agenda

Saitou: That afternoon, I ask Hide to take care of dinner after Ojii-san mentioned that Akane would not be dropping by. At the very least…

A rip in time…

I look at the pocket watch that she gave me and remember how odd time has been lately. But I was given an opportunity that…

The letter left at the table late last night

To my dearest Hide, Today is a special day isn’t it? I seem to keep missing it. I’m sorry. Do you know what my most…

Who stole it first?

Will you get mad if I told you… I don’t remember our first kiss? Did you kiss me first or did I steal one first?…

A Ghost Wandering the Streets of Tokyo

When days stretches on like this I worry. It doesn’t matter what the reason was… All that mattered was that I was away. I remember…

The Market

We walk quietly back to the market. Hide wanted to get some ingredients for tomorrows breakfast. I puff softly on my cigarette, once in a…

Tsuyoshi-kun

We don’t walk very far but we do turn to a less travelled road where Tsuyoshi is apparently a patron. “Chichi, my friends and I…

Walking around Aizu

As soon as we leave the house, I light a cigarette. I’m quiet as we walk contemplating what to do and what to say. What…

A Long Train Ride

I must’ve taken out this pocketwatch much more today than I’ve ever had since owning it. We won’t get there until after midnight and finding…

Time to go on a trip

I hear the cock crow and it’s still dark outside. It must only be 4AM but I haven’t prepared anything for this trip but I…

Too Early for Morning

I just couldn’t sleep… That’s what I tell myself. It’s not that I’m not sleepy, I am but I can’t stand sharing a room with…

Hopefully this works…

I made the ahou work today. *chuckles* But now that this is done… I’m going to retire for the night. Goodnight princess.

Evening before leaving for Aizu

“Frankly, I’m surprised Fujita-kun. After I’ve finally agreed to let you back on the case, here you are asking for a temporary leave. But… I…

In the middle of nowhere

It’s been a while since I’ve been to this place, I think to myself as I place the log into the fireplace. Throwing a lighted…

Precinct before lunch

“So what do you think Fujita?” “My time would be better spent -elsewhere-.” I sigh and blow a smoke up in the air. With a…

All about children

Everyone was exhausted from last night’s activity it seems. Hide did not even stir as I rummaged through the closet looking for a uniform to…

The Entrance to the Futaba School

I’m expecting only one prospective transfer student today… What was her name again? Ah yes! Yagi Makoto. Preparing the papers her mother needs to fill…

Monday Morning

It’ll be a busy day with Makoto and then guests later. I straighten out my uniform one last time in front of the mirror and…

Well into the 2nd week of July… Summertime

I sit wondering if she?EUR(TM)ll be by tonight, knowing fully well that she might not since she ?EUR“is- traveling. Is this what it?EUR(TM)s like for…

Nothing really

Ah well… The ahou is distracted at the moment so I thought I’d leave you this. I hope you are doing well. Take care.
