Last week was very trying for everyone. I would like to remind everyone that the counselor's office is always open, and I personally am willing to answer calls even after hours by anyone having troubles sleeping because of the events or who want to talk.

We're not just here to help make adjustments to your schedules. If you need an ear, I can guarantee privacy and confidentiality. Please do not be afraid to talk.

- Counselor Haibara

Ah, it's 'ash field'. [Fatal Frame antags and their creepy place name surnames, man.] But I can't change it now, even if I like the other more.

[totallystoned]

I asked because the doctors back home would call us 'haibane'. Still, 'ash field' isn't so terrible. Ash helps things grow, right?

[blooming_resonance]

Haibane? ... Ah. [She doesn't know everyone's personnel files in the school, so she can't recall if she knows or has read anything about this teacher's past, but...]

They called... what my mother and I had... 'Getsuyuu Syndrome'. They thought it was... influenced by the phases of the moon.

[totallystoned]

[There's not much. Mainly because she doesn't remember very much.]

...What happens at a full moon?

[blooming_resonance]

It seemed like... our symptoms became better. Especially mother's. The full moon appeared to... bring her faint memories back and... put her in higher spirits.

[totallystoned]

Is there a connection between the moon and memory? [Reki loves the moon, especially on a cold, cloudless night.]

[blooming_resonance]

They... researched for a long time to see if there was. [In canon there is! ... Not so much here in AUVille.] They couldn't... find any concrete evidence. Not... that I know of.

[totallystoned]

I hope I'm not prying into something painful. There's a lot I don't remember myself.

[blooming_resonance]

Mmm... it's nothing that... is not many years in the past already.

And... regardless... it is not an illness at all. The moon has... nothing to do with it.
