[There's a bit of a static feed as the journal turns on, and Shiki doesn't say anything for a moment. She's busy reading over everything from the last few days, but she finally decides to talk to the village at large.]

So. Hypothetical question. ...how long is too long to wait? For people, for objects, for anything. Give me your thoughts on this.

[Filtered to Angel]

Have you figured out your answer yet?

It's fall now, isn't it? I should get back to decorating. So another question...favorite thing about Halloween? Decoration-wise, holiday-wise, anything. This is pretty important.

[Important in the sense that when she's done addressing the journal, she's busy flitting about her shop. She's been spending the last few days rearranging all of the furniture and putting up new shelves and such with Haruhi's help. And now. There are fake maple leaves all over the walls. And outside. Along with some cut-out paper pumpkins strung along the walls. Villagers are free to find her outside on the porch of All Passions staplegunning things to the building and such.]

Fine, I will. Are you here for any other reason than to harass me? I already have enough to deal with.

You felt like loneliness.

...then I guess you felt it right.

.. Don't you have friends to be with?

I'm not going to bother them just because I'm sad. [Which is kind of a huge lie, seeing how she's practically clinging to Haruhi these days.]

If they'd consider it a bother, then they're terrible friends.

They might not consider it a bother, but I would. Doesn't that make sense?

It sounds like someone's raised you with a bit of common decency after all.

Are all of your compliments purposefully backwards?

Who said I was complimenting you?

I did. It sounded like one, so I'm making it one.

Then take it as you would. Shall we throw a party?

I'd seriously consider it. This is the kind of thing worth celebrating.

Don't put too much effort into it. Wouldn't want you breaking a nail.

They're not my nails, so it doesn't matter.

[Well that got weird fast. Thanks, Misaki.]

Look. You need people around. So go be around people.

[Yeah it happens.]

I'll go be around other people later. When it's not because you've told me to.

Because acting childish is a terrific first step.

It's not childish, I'm just done doing things because other people have made me do them.

Fine. I'll walk away, and you can wait half an hour before you go running off to do what makes the most sense. Will that prove your point?

Maybe. I just don't want to feel possessed again, that's all.

[That's.. Kind of a trigger word for him, actually.]

When were you possessed before?

...when I was in the Game. I was possessed and I tried to kill my friends.

Possessed by what? You remember it? [BUSINESS FACE IS GO.]

It's not still inside you, is it?

No it's not still inside me. It was like mind control because of this pin we had in the game. I didn't have my Player pin at the time, so I ended up attacking Neku and Beat.
