It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm afraid things are really quite busy here, and unfortunately our liaison has been compromised. Well...so have a lot of people, actually.

Are you still yourself if you're not the self you were? It's the kind of conversation we've had a lot of times, around here. I've always only been myself, but if I woke up tomorrow as someone else, would I still be me even if I wasn't?

I think rather than worrying about that the best thing I can do is focus on trying to sort things out as best I can. I'm a little worried, actually, but I think I can manage to give everyone a shot even if I can't fix things on my own or even with everyone's help.

But you can help! Or at least I think it will help if you think about what it means to be "you". It's okay if that answer changes or doesn't. Just hold onto that concept and don't let it go. And maybe tell other people what you think it means? Not like I'm saying you have to talk about that. I think usually you all just talk about anything, and I think that is also a good way to hold onto who you are and who you want to be. Sometimes I think it'd be fun, all those parties or little plans. I've never spent much time outside of these walls, did you know?

I don't have time to really ramble, though. Those of you who know what I mean, we're doing our best. Those of you who don't, you do your best too. Pay attention to the things you tell yourself, and I'll try to fix what I can fix.

Please take care.

i'm not sure if it's really greed just...
mm, well, it's been a few years now, but, when people pass away, it leaves you wishing you had spent more time with them.
so i guess it's perspective.

oh, keisan! no, really, work would be great...!
they've been cutting my hours at one of my other jobs, so that would be really helpful. (ᗒᗊᗕ)
though, if you're really struggling i wouldn't mind volunteering to help either.
just put me wherever you need me, okay? ~ ♫

I THOUGHT I ANSWERED THIS

[ Who died? ]

It is all perspective.
But with every regret that we come to face, it means that we can change the future.
After all, the past is the past.
No matter how long we stare at it, it will not change.
The only thing that you can change is what you do from now on.
So if you regret not spending time with others, spend time with those you care for now, hm?

I somehow wonder if that would not be better for you than working at my shop.
But if you need the money, you need the money.
Quite the troublesome situation that you are in, Niichan.
But I'll help as much as I can.

i guess that even applies to our other lives, huh?
the past is the past...

[ Is it optimistic? ]

It does, I suppose.

Is that so?
Well, I'm glad that the layers have combined so that you are once more reunited with them.
Certainly, I am sure that they missed you greatly.

i'm not sure about that, but i definitely missed them!!
it was so weird hearing my siblings and not being able to see them.
no one even really knew i was gone, either, which was a little disturbing...

That is.

I would have thought your mother would have been more than a little upset about you missing. At the very least because she could not drag you to church as I do Mizuki Sena.

Ah. ]


I see. I'm sorry.

But she would rather you be happy, too. And well, take some time to be greedy before you start to work for me, hm?
