Hajime:It’s past midnight when I got home. I could have just gone straight to the precinct and maybe catch an hour or two of sleep…

(T)Strange how I’m nervous meeting a child! I’m in a proper tatami room, but it’s a little strange that there’s a Western-style sofa in here.…

(T)I’m a little stiff from the overnight train – I should have followed my wife’s advice and booked the higher class train car, or one…

(Off game, of course) So I heard that there’s a scent that’s meant to capture you. *laughs* How impossible! So of course those foolish writers…

It’s late at night and I sit on the engawa. It’s a warm night so I opted for a cool sake. I had bought it…

View Post They have another child on the way. I think it is coming this September. Yes Haha-ue. Yagi-san is really huge now and I…

Calm down, Yuubo! I was surprised that I got an answer from Saya-san. It’s hard to get anything out of her… but she’s busy with…

Asuka Saya: “Another message for you ma’am.” Yeesh… My skin crawls everytime that young recruit calls me that Ma’am. “Leave it on the desk.” I…

Kyoto, Yagi Residence My husband has been… strange lately. I prop up on one elbow, and look at him. Sleeping on our futon, he still…

Well that went…. Terribly. I sigh. Makoto has been hiding from me in her treehouse, so I couldn’t get to the bottom of what she…

“Ah it’s good you finally showed yourself.” I look him over. It’s been weeks since we’ve seen each other. “Here help me put this up.”…

I go out to the well. I do need some water to clean up, but I needed to take a deep breath after the events…

I leave Hajime to rest, but the child is stirring (after adhering to its father’s wishes earlier) and I can’t sleep. Instead, I quietly dress…

It’s like in that dream that I keep having, waking up with her in my arms in a dark room with her soundly asleep. Before…

Tsutomu: I sit at the kitchen table just watching Yagi-san. He said to watch her but is that it? We’re quiet and I can’t stand…

Tsutomu: I guess he doesn’t know what happened yesterday, otherwise he’d have reamed me today. Did Tsuyoshi not tell? And how about Yagi-san – she…

Hajime: We sit on the bench that early morning and I hold his injured hand inspecting it. Hide did in fact do a good job…

I’m sleeping well, alone in this big bed, and I’m awoken by a sudden burning coming up in my throat. I sit up, coughing and…

“It’s not a good sign when we find out one of our men is dead by the morning news.” I throw the paper to Kawaji’s…

Hina: “That man Fujita came by again.” I look at my son who is preparing us some tea. “I sent him away.” “You didn’t…” He…

I run after my brother. “Tsutomu-niisan!” I call out. Why did they fight? Maybe he knows about Tsuyoshi-niisan’s plan to take the baby? No… I…

Going around Tokyo yesterday was great! Makoto-chan showed us the ramen place with eggs and they -do- have good ramen but didn’t have the dry…

(OOC – Day can be any day during the week that it needs to be) “Tsurumi-chan,” she said. “Tsurumi-chan, are you listening?” I look up…

Of course you two should think of the children. That’s why I’m speaking to you since this now involves Tsuyoshi. It’s bad enough that rumors…

“Hiko-sensei. I’m bored.” I look around, we’ve spent so much time already in the market and then at the park. I’m running out of ideas.…

Hajime (At the office mid-day): The events from this morning has left me off kilter that I’m finding it hard to put together a side…

“She let -who- in?”“Shhh…” Tamesaburou grabs me and pulls me around the corner. “She didn’t know. I mean, he’s rude, but not the subjects of…

I stand by the side of the house and smoke. It’s the one spot I found where I typically go unnoticed and yet afford the…

Tsuyoshi: I jump up on the futon and look outside. “Ani-ue! You’ve got a nice room here at Yagi-san’s!” I smile at him at look…

Would I have loved her if I didn’t need anything? If my wife was not the inconsiderate or unattentive woman that she turned out to…

Hajime: I need to plan better. Our walk was slow and I took a couple of stops to let her rest. Perhaps I need to…

It was a busy day yesterday as Hide and I prepared the rooms that Namuzawa and Tsuyoshi was staying in. I’m not sure but there…

HHide06:56PMSits down to waitHHajime07:08PMIt’s a non-descript part of town. It’s not our tokyo, something more modern? I don’t bother stopping by the front desk, i…

I’m having coffee. It’s Saturday morning and it didn’t escape me that last night my son and my niece seems to have made themselves scarce.…

(Midori) I feel bad for the way that I left things with Makoto-chan and Tsutomu-kun – the look he gave me wasn’t anger at mistreating…

Kai got really mad at me. He said he’ll be in trouble all week and it’s vacation no less. He’ll have no fun at all.…

Yukiko:It’s Friday and we just dropped off the children to school. Makoto-chan is her usual bubbly self and Tsutomu is quiet as usual but I’m…

So he stayed in bed in all day. I flip through the book he was keeping, a very old book. The truth was that I…
