[It's the full moon again!

You know what that means?

It means Sakuya's back up on the network.]

Finals are... rapidly approaching. I know many of you... are probably very stressed. I have some extra... green tea in my office if you need something for a small boost. I am sure you'll all... probably overwork yourselves, and telling you to sleep early and try to relax won't work, so...

The full moon is tonight. If, for only a little while, you find yourself near to panic, take a break from studying to watch it rise. It'll hit its peak around 11:45 tonight.

And do try to get sleep before... tomorrow. Monday is only bad... because people make it that way. So try to make it... as pleasant as possible.

[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.]

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?]

[Well here's a rare sight: Sakuya using the camera on her phone. It's after sundown, but not quite late enough to be curfew, so she's outside for just a bit longer, leaning against a wall, head craned back to look at the sky.]

It's such a calm night. The tides... continue, the seasons change, slowly, and no matter what happens... nothing stops time from continuing. The future is inevitable and it looks murky right now. Many things are changing, and they're mostly... bad. Now.

[She moves her head toward the sky, and shows, for just a moment, the full moon, still huge and low, and very full, before pulling the camera back to herself.]

It's a full moon again. Tonight and... tomorrow.

Does anyone else feel, when you look at it, far calmer? I know it's... obviously not the case for some of you [Hi, Werewolves] but... I've always felt like I was closer to obtaining something when I watch for long enough.

In a week, the moon will have... changed phases. The season will be closer to winter. We'll all... be doing something else.

[She pauses, smiles, and looks down at the camera.] It will be alright. It will take time, but it will be alright.

It's not a waste to take a moment... to do something that brings you peace in a troubled time. Take care of yourselves, so that you may better help others.

It'll get better.
