[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.]

...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.

I think the most important part is that you're at the bottom to catch him after the fall. And knowing you, you're already planning for that. It's really just...you know, trying to figure out how long it'll be before he reaches that conclusion on his own.
