[passio]

Black-as-can-be cats arrive a-pair,
Up on a rooftop, a plaintive eve,
And on the tips of their pointed tails hung
A wispy crescent-moon, looking hazy.
'O-wah, good evening,'
'O-wah, good evening!'
'O-wah, o-wah, o-wah!'
'O-wah, the man of this household is bedridden.'

A poem by Sakutaro Hagiwara, that I heard once from a friend. It seems things have calmed down since #FFFFFF arrived, but I wonder if that's the end of it.

How is everyone's literary analysis? I think we should be prepared for more mysterious messages, and maybe there's a way to prevent it before it gets bad.

[ dextera himself would probably never go to one of these establishments... but kaoru seems to like them so much that he can't hate the concept entirely. ]

I bet the clothes here could be repurposed, if there are people who know how to sew. Unfortunately, I don't know how to cook either.

Maybe it's something for someone else to take charge on.

i won't say no if someone wants to put in the work but i'm more cut out to be a maid cafe patron than an owner.

i miss things like that though. the people are nice here, but being able to go to a maid cafe on the weekends, going shopping with my friends or even just hanging around the house watching tv...thinking about it makes me a bit homesick.

do you miss anything from home?

[passio]

[ kaoru you have no idea what you set in motion with this maid café thing ]

Not really.

My home was dangerous and not that interesting. I need to go back eventually, but I prefer this town.

[she's so sorry you have no idea...

But that...seems a bit sad.]

i'm sorry. i hope things get better one day.

but it's good that you like it here! it's kind of dreary but everyone here is so nice.

[passio]

I'm trying to make things better, but it's hard. I don't know what "better" looks like.

So this town, even if it's grey, is a good inspiration.

[queenofminiskirts]

i'm sure you'll figure it out!

and there's a lot of good people here so I'm sure the memories you make here will help you.

[passio]

I think that’s true.

You’re one of the good people I’ve met here, Kaoru. Thank you.

[queenofminiskirts]

[She's just blushing a little here. It's how she always responds to compliments like this.]

that's very kind of you to say!

i still have a lot of growing to do but i'm glad if i was able to help you.
