[Souji is at home and it's too quiet. He ends up talking to Saizou, his pig, for company a lot lately and this time, Saizou steps on the journal as he's talking, picking up bits and pieces of their one-sided conversation.]

--nder...why...--that some ......--ile others go, Saizou?

[The pig grunts and Souji laughs softly, sounding tired and worn.]

Mm...yes, I suppose we'll never know.....--haps....world returns.....--work still left to complete; and leaves ...... --no longer necessary.

[He's quiet for a moment and then lets out a heavy sigh, dismissing his own thoughts.]

No, that's silly. ....--ing me the jour--....

[The microphone picks up the muffled bumps and thumps as Saizou bites the journal and brings it over for Souji. He presses the on button again, unaware that it was already recording. When he addresses everyone, he's much chipper like he always, no trace of his earlier stress.]

I learned a new game so I have a question for everyone~

Would you rather eat nothing but your favorite food forever or never eat your favorite food again?

Also, it has been quite awhile, but anyone who knew my other self, Hijikata-san or Chizuru-chan; they've all returned to their homes.

I work at the Welcome Centre during the midnight shift and teach swordsmanship-- Oh! And I paint rocks. And take care of my pets.

[Souji switches to video and it shows the face of a rather angry looking pig]

See?

[Yes.

Especially him.]

Both. But I think the pie was better. Fruit is delicious.

Which do you like better?

[A bit like here. He's seen many versions of his friends, but they're never the same.

...Yeah, that does suck. He knows (sort of) how she feels.]

It's admirable of you - to find him time and time again.

[Oh, hey. Hi there, pig.]

He looks pretty healthy. What's his name?

I have the time. And he's the only reason I stay on earth...

Well, I don't think I could go back to heaven.. [She doesn't sound too sad about that. It would feel strange to go back after so many years.]

His name is Saizou.

[Souji turns the camera away and leans over the back of his sofa, pointing the camera out the window. After the initial white-out from the change in lighting, the camera reveals a stable out back housing a giant yellow bird.]

And that's Tammy.

[He taps the glass and the bird perks up.]

Say hi, Tammy~

[It warks and calls out:] Tammy!

...That's a pretty big bird. Do you have those in your home?

[Le sigh...]

Pie. For the same reason, I prefer fruit.

What kind of pie, Souji-san?

My... family worked with cats on occasion. I'm usually more of a bird person, but I've become attached to these.

A...giant yellow bird, you say? [Well, this IS Luceti.]

Fine, he's very bright, but also eats things that would kill him. So bright, and yet stupid.

Your devotion is admirable.

[But wait. He doesn't recall hearing anyone by the name of Shuichiro here, does that mean....?]

...You must miss him terribly as well.

[He turns the camera around again and Saizou sticks his face into view.]

Not in my home world, if that's what you mean. Tammy appeared to us one day and we've kept her ever since. Sometimes when it gets too cold I bring her and the other chicken, Fish, inside.

He sounds like some people I know.

[LOLOLOLOL]

Hm...! [ GOOD QUESTION. ~~Quick, Anduin, make something up!~~ ] Fresh fish, breaded and baked with vegetables...

It's been a while since I've had anything like that.

[The hesitation in front of family is odd. He looks at the journal for a moment before responding.]

Is your family still here?

That's a chicken?

Mm...I don't really mind what sort. They're all quite delicious.

Do you have a favorite type of pie?

Well, angels can only fall in love with one person.

[Even though she does remember Patchouli, and feels a bit confused about it.]

I do. But it's alright, since I know he's not missing me.

[~~Excellent choice!~~]

Do you cook yourself? I've been trying to learn, since my housemates returned.

I don't really know.

[He shoos Saizou away and gets up, walking into his bedroom where a small-ish white hen is sitting in a basket. Souji turns the camera toward it.]

But that is. Her name is Fish.

Ah, that would explain it then.

[Although yeah. Patchouli must be a sore spot, if Kohaku remembers - which Souji doesn't know she does. He thinks for a moment and then lets out a soft sigh.]

At least you know when you return it will be as if nothing has changed.

Yeah, that's definitely a chicken. Hi, Fish.

Yes. All I can do is hope he chooses me.

[She'll figure out a way to come to terms with it.]

Exactly. Although I am already home sick.

[The chicken perks up when it hears its name, but it only clucks before it settles again. Souji turns the book away and heads back to the living room and then to the kitchen.]

We also have a fish named Dog, but his owners aren't here anymore.

[He sets the journal down on the counter, facing up at a mid-sized fish tank on the windowsill. He leans over and taps the glass, causing the goldfish inside to swim closer.]

A former housemate got him this nice big tank. It makes him quite happy, I think.

Won't he though? He may not remember his past lives, but there must be a connection.

...Perhaps Kohaku-chan should find a hobby to do here? There is a garden behind the Welcome Center that could use some help tending to. And a flower shop here, as well.
