[This appears one day from Sakuya's number, onto the network, entirely on accident.

Apparently she was probably trying to do something else, but it came out... this way.]

a quiet,

thick forest



there is nothing



let's meet again

Honestly, the weirdest part is not that there's a random poem(?) now on the network. The weirdest part, for anyone who speaks the language, is she made the stylistic choice to write it all out in katakana instead of... anything more complex.

Anyway, I promise she won't go all tsun and yell about the ~*~screams of her pathos~*~, so approach to ask, maybe?]

[ Even if it does, he lets it slide. It's something he can empathize with, in any case. ]

Do you pursue literature as a hobby, by the by?

[blooming_resonance]

[She wants to say 'no', but the more she thinks about it, the more it becomes true that it has become something of a hobby.] I suppose that is what it has turned into lately. Initially, I was just using it to keep practicing Japanese.

[thirdarrow]

Ah. Were you not born in our fair homeland, or?

[ Or is it just rusty from lack of use? ]

[blooming_resonance]

[Option C:]

Hm. Well, more a combination of imbalances that lead to memory problems. It's difficult for me to keep on top of two languages.

[She'll forget English way, way faster than she's slowly leaking off Japanese though, if she were to return home.]

[thirdarrow]

[ Ah. It must be the effects of her mutation, then. Or some other condition. ]

If you need help revising our language, I can try. My father was quite interested in literature.

[ Apart from history, that was his biggest priority. ]

[blooming_resonance]

[She considers it, and realizes that while she can slow down the regression of her knowledge by studying on her own, it might help to have someone with her.] I think that would be wonderful, actually. I suppose reading more challenging literature would help me keep on top of the kanji I keep forgetting.

[thirdarrow]

[ He isn't too averse to that idea, either. ]

I can recommend you some novels, or other books. I have quite a few. [ Not as much as what he owned before moving here, but. ]

Though I am not often on campus, so you will have to excuse me.

[blooming_resonance]

That's alright. The internet is a wonderful tool for looking things up, as well. So long as I can keep remembering how stroke order works, I can look it up.

[... She hopes she never forgets that. That would be Bad.]

[thirdarrow]

[ That's good, then. ]

What types of books do you prefer?

[blooming_resonance]

Hm. Possibly historical fiction, some mythology, and [She hesitates, but then wonders why? It's kind of normal on a place like Rougetsu Island, though she's come to realize, it's not so normal other places.] Things involving rituals of the dead, especially.

[Sakuya, that's creepy.]

[thirdarrow]

[ Not really. he's seen worse. ]

I can pass you some volumes. My father was quite fond of the first two.

[blooming_resonance]

Oh good. Whenever you have the chance; don't feel pressured in any way. I'm almost constantly in my office in the counseling office.

Do you want to end here or continue with in person? I'm ok with both :D

[thirdarrow]

It's no problem.

I shall see you soon, then.

I don't care either way either, lol.

[blooming_resonance]

Of course. I'll keep the door open.
