I upset Neku, again, because I'm apparently too indecisive and can't realize that the world doesn't think the same way I do, and I don't know what to say to make him feel better about me still liking him. Haruki punched Minato in the face because he got annoyed Minato was asking too many questions probably and he's suddenly being as affectionate as a Suzumiya can get. And now Minamimoto attacked Minato? What the hell do I have to do to fix everything!? I just want everything to go back to normal...well and maybe Minamimoto eliminated, but we'll take care of that.

What does he want anyway? He shot Minato and broke his arm. He's got a bigger plan, but what is it?

UGH.

I know it's been about a week and some of you have already talked to me about this, but um, if you were shot with that gun Rosalie had and we did something you didn't like, feel free to come back to the shop and we'll fix it but you know, I never make people look ugly so...

Tifa, I did finish your blouses whenever you're ready. They're at the shop right now. Speaking of the shop, Kanji, MJ, Rosalie? We should figure out some kind of work schedule you know? I'll be around full-time again in about two weeks but it'd help to have a schedule anyway.

I've figured out...the weather's pretty bipolar here or something.

Oh and um...anybody wondering, I should probably mention that Minato's going to be a little...off for a while.

Whatever you're doing, we'll figure it out and we'll stop you, again.

[Shiki is actually currently sitting in the clinic in Minato's room to make sure he doesn't leave again before he's supposed to like he did last time. Housemates feel free to assume she didn't come home last night. Also, she's assuming that Mitsuru told Aegis/Fina/whoever about Minato's condition so she's not going to bother saying it, if anything so unnecessary people like Minamimoto don't show up or something. Who knows where her brain goes.]

He seems to be doing okay now. He'll wake up on and off, but they've got him on some painkillers for his arm.

Ouch. I've no idea what happened to him, but it still sounds painful.

I know you said you'd be okay, but I went ahead and got you guys coffee and water. Figured it'd be fine, since I wanted some orange juice myself.

It's a long story...you'll have to ask him.

Thanks a lot, we'll probably want some later anyway.

Sounds like it. [bites her lip.] I don't think I wanna pry, though... not unless he wants to tell people about it.

No problem~ I just hope you're a latte fan.

He's not bad about sharing, but you just have to catch him in the right moment.

Well if I'm not, I can be.

Probably. [watches him for a second before taking a nearby chair, bringing it over to where Shiki is, and sits.]

I think you will be! They're my favorite. [finally notices the sketchbook and glances over at it curiously] ... You designing new clothes?

Yeah, I'm getting a jumpstart on my fall collection. Wanna see?

Definitely! It's nice to know the upcoming trends.

I don't know if they're trends, but they're things I want to try anyway. [hands over the sketchbook, right now it's just some longsleeve blouses and jeans but it's a start]

[takes a look at them and smiles] Welll... they still look pretty good. [hands it back over] It looks like something Gwen'd wear, at least.

Gwen?

One of my acquaintances back home. [bites her lip] Gwen and I weren't exactly on good terms for a while... but she's got good taste in clothes.

Well it's not like you've got bad taste yourself, you know.

Thanks. It's just... I dunno, Gwen and I didn't exactly get along that well. ["because we were fighting over the same guy, and she won."]

Dare I even ask? [Nosy Shiki is Nosy]

It's for a stupid reason, really. If it weren't for this one guy, we'd be close friends.

...I've come to realize that guys seem to be the source of all problems.

Isn't that the truth? [sighs] ... But in retrospect, I should've just told him I liked him.

Why didn't you?

It's... complicated. I like him now, but I didn't know it back when he was single? And so he starts dating Gwen right when I realize I like him... and then my ex-boyfriend tells me he loves me... [pauses, going to get a mocha latte]

Nevermind. Explaining it wouldn't take less than a couple of hours.

And now you're here without any of them. Even better.

Yeah... but on the upside? I can reflect on what happened and try not to make the same mistakes.

I guess that's a true statement.
