here goes nothing.
I did it. I went downtown to have my photo from the amusement park duplicated. It's funny how that photo booth only printed out a total of only two copies. One for each. I'm no high school girl, but I know that you should get a bunch, right?
When Tohru-kun was glad she found her picture from when we went fishing, it gave me an idea. Akito became extremely distant after we went to the amusement park. That's what Kureno-san noticed. I had I kind of think it might be the case too. She's always been somewhat sentimental. It's just a hunch. Tohru-kun was very happy when she found her lost picture, maybe Akito lost her picture too and maybe she'll become very happy when she receives my package.
After having the picture duplicated, I searched for something else. Something that would complement the picture. I thought that it would be very bare if I just sent her a picture. I mean, where's my taste? And knowing Akito, I didn't want her to completely figure out that I completely knew the problem. I don't want to show like I read her mind, or I was snooping around. Akito might think that she's very obvious. So getting her a picture frame along the photo is not a good idea. That's just like giving her the picture all by itself.
Something else. "Oh, this looks interesting."
When I came home. I went straight to my room. I didn't want to let anybody know. I searched my things and I couldn't find a gift wrap. It was already late when I got home. I knew I had some left. I should've bought gift wrap while I was at it. Better yet, I should've gotten the package wrapped already.
I settled for newspaper. That's right, I wrapped it with newspaper. I know delivery is important, but the content is what's most important.
I left for the Sohma Main Estate around 10:30pm. I hurried. I gave it to Kureno-san and I told him to put it inside Akito's room only after she's asleep. I didn't write my name on it. Akito would know who it's from. After all, only I and Akito know we went to the amusement park, and we're the only people on the picture.

the epiphany
Call me crazy, but I think I know what might be the solution. I'll head straight to downtown first thing in the morning to get it copied.
"You look troubled, Shigure-san."
"Is it? No, I'm just tired. I have this deadline to beat." I was talking about making Akito happy. "How 'bout you, you look cheery as ever, my wonderful Tohru."
"Oh? Me? Um... Uhh..." she got flustered. "Um... it's because I found something important. I mean, you remember when we went fishing, Shigure-san and do you remember when we took a picture with everyone? I lost that picture but I just found it yesterday. I'm telling you, I've thought of giving up, but when I cleaned my room, I found it under my bed mattress." a picture?
The-- the burden has been lifted from me. "Tohru-- can... can I give you a hug?"

am I missing something?
I went for a visit at the main house today. I found out something unexpected.
"Akito-sama doesn't want to come out of her room, Shigure. I tried reasoning her to come out. But she wouldn't listen. Hatori wanted to find out what was wrong as well, but Akito-sama just doesn't want to tell him anything. Hatori-san would also conduct her checkups in her room. It's like she completely shut herself."
"Isn't this normal? I mean she's always stubborn to go out."
"No, Shigure, it's different. She doesn't want to see you as well." When I touched the doorknob I felt an aura that prevented me from turning it.
I know that Akito is withdrawn from the world. She lives like a shut-in, but not because she wants to live as such. It's her health. But after today, I felt like she's become seriously MORE withdrawn from the world and from everyone. What caused this? We had a good time when went to the amusement park. I had fun and I seriously believe that she had fun.
I stayed the whole day in the main estate hoping to get a glimpse of her. I made sure she wouldn't hurt herself. I stayed beside the door. But indeed, she didn't come out of her room. Kureno would put her food inside the room and would leave right away. Kureno said that Akito was still eating. She ate a few, but she was still eating.
I'm worried. Very.
"Ano... Shigure-san, is the food not for your fitting?"
"... Huh? Oh, sorry Tohru-kun. No, it's good. It's good." what do I need to do?

one day in the amusement park
I knew I had to take her out today. After a much consultation to Hatori, he agreed. In fact, Hatori recommended that I should take Akito outside for fresh air. It was a big gamble bringing her to the amusement park. But at the back of my mind, I should take her to somewhere different.
When I say it's a gamble, I mean there might be a lot of people and the risk of me transforming is absolutely present. However, it's a risk I'm willing to take. I don't mean to include Akito with this risk; if I turn, I'll run quickly grab my clothes with my mouth and run away. Make way for the cunning Shigure.
Ordinary parks are boring. You won't find anything in the lakehouse. Camping is a bit unhygienic, so it might pose a problem to Akito's health further. Overseas trips are expensive. Movies are indoors. We always go to the Sohma hotspring. And an amusement park is well... an amusement park; it has this certain charm that brings joy and excitement.
I became a bit concerned when Akito didn't want to go at first. But I teased and teased her until Akito tells me that she'll get changed.
It was really fun at the amusement park. I had a great time. The only thing I could remember is that Akito has this very awkward smile when we tried the photo booth. Today was worth the trouble as I found out that she loves the rides in the amusement park. Not those wild rides, like the roller coaster or that ride where you sit and slowly takes you up the tower and then you rapidly plummet down. So we rode the carousel, the bumpcars, the boat ride and the ferris wheel. I was also relieved to hear that she was hungry during lunchtime.
The ferris wheel was fun. I asked Akito if she wouldn't mind going back to the amusement park with me. Akito said she wants to. And now I'm writing in my room with Miitsuru-chan laying loudly on the couch. What is she doing here again?

sleep it off
I've been going round and round but I haven't been able to figure out how to unstuck myself with my current story. I went for a walk today. It should've been a long walk but it suddenly rained. I forgot to bring an umbrella. I always go for a walk whenever I feel something's bugging me. This time, my work is bugging me. When I got back to my room, Kyo yelled to me that the cable was out. Gasp. I know I paid the most recent bill last week.
Still three hours and nothing's coming to my mind. Tohru-kun gave me a fresh blanket. It's spring after all. Time for a change. Anyway, I've taken a break for three hours. It wasn't really a break because I was still figuring out what to write since then. Now my new fresh blanket is calling me. Whatever. It's time to sleep, I guess.
