[There's the sudden sound of a bunch of boxes falling to the ground, contents spilling everywhere as the journal's camera points up to the ceiling. It shifts suddenly to focus on a particular pink-haired girl who was unceremoniously dumped into the back room of her shop on top of said boxes.]

Ugh...thanks for the warning, jerks. [She begins to untangle herself from the boxes of ribbons and fabrics, moving the journal closer to speak. For the most part, she seems pretty unharmed.]

Hey...so what day is it anyway? Here's hoping I wasn't gone too long, totally bad for business. [There's a slight beat, suddenly remembering something. You know, her housemate that was alone for like a week.] Haruhi, report. [She works her way out from under the pile of materials and the door to the back room swings open, allowing her to enter the main part of the shop.]

Neku...you better have made it back. That was pretty low of them, keeping us sort of together and then sending you back first. Besides, I was right in the middle of designing a n--

[There's a long pause suddenly as she really takes a look at the shop. She's staring at a row of dresser dummies, counting them in her head.]

All right, which one of you broke into my shop when I was gone?!

The time you're supposed to go isn't always a convenient one.

I chose my own destiny. I can guarantee you it wasn't supposed to be that way.

Choosing your own destiny is a nice fantasy, but life doesn't work like that.

[It does when you choose what moment to run into traffic in Shibuya.] Think whatever you want then.

I generally do.

I know what I did was controlled.

Accidents like that usually sre.

Be happy you went as part of the plan.

If I hadn't? Then what?

Then someone would probably still be pulling pieces of you out of the sewer.

Maybe...I don't really remember a lot about how my death happened.

That's not what I meant.

Then explain it.

God plans accidents, not murders.

...right. ...what do you know about murders anyway? [On a personal level. She gets that Shinigami deal with people who have been murdered, but the phrasing of what Hisoka's said has her a tiny bit suspicious.]

I see a lot of them. It's an embarrassment when they show up early for judgment.

How can it be an embarrassment? It's not like it's their fault.

Try telling that to the people who think everything happens for a reason only to find out they're not on the entry list for the other side.

You mean the eternal optimists. I'm guessing they don't handle it very well.

Yeah. Them.

You don't know many of them, do you? [Eternal optimists seem like they'd bounce back eventually no matter what.]

I see a lot of people in my line of work. I don't bother keeping tabs on the individuals. It's not worth getting attached. [This is a lie.]

Does it work? Telling yourself that to convince yourself otherwise, I mean.

Do you always make incorrect assumptions about people you've only just met?

Do you always counter people's questions when they back you into a corner?

I'm not in a corner.
