[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.

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.]

This is the part where it gets complicated. Souls? Vampires don't usually have them. Angel's an exception. That's why he's off the dusting-list.

The problem is...well -- some parts of the story are his to tell. That's one of them. He got his soul a long, long time before he met me. He didn't re-lose it until after that, though.

A...a spell. There's a spell. Willow can do it. Has done it.

Oh, he can. He -- he did, here. Last time he was here. A Shift'd do it. And the spell -- the curse -- keeping him a soul?

It can be broken.

The next part of the story is where I broke that curse. Once. Accidentally. [ and she knows, now, that the sex wasn't the problem. it was the happiness. the togetherness. the brief spark of hope or joy that came in the hours after; however, the terror is still there. enough to make even a light touch on the arm inspire guilt. ]

He terrorized us for months. He killed...there was a lot of badness. Things got so bad that even when they didn't seem that bad at all, he had to leave. We couldn't be -- if we could've, maybe things would've changed. But he left. No goodbye. We moved on.

He only moved about two hours away. To Los Angeles. I was born there, you know. We...met up. Now and then. When we needed to. But before I showed up here, I hadn't seen him in over a year.

I guess...[ she puffs a sigh. ] I guess people are just scared of being left alone. Of being not good enough.

...Jack's got a pretty high opinion of me. When he realizes how wrong it is, the fall's gonna be a long one. Lots of distance to cover. So yeah. I'm worried -- but it's not about whether he's good enough.
