[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 found the archangel I was supposed to, went back and fourth in time, was sent back to heaven, and was forbidden to come back to earth...but I came back against God's will, figured out I was in love with a human not long before he died, and was put to sleep for a hundred years.

...

[Wow, ouch. That. Is a lot more than he expected. Souji realizes that he actually hasn't known too much about Kohaku since the last time she was here, especially since she had forgotten him before. Apparently now she remembers, but...]

...You certainly had a busy few days. Since then it has been many years though, yes? You live as a human with someone?

Almost two hundred years since then, yes. And I suppose I do live like a human, with a few differences from Shuichiro.

But I'm happy with it.

A few differences...?

I still have my magic, and can still fly. I don't eat anything, and just things like that. I even still have my wings, but they don't give off a glow anymore.

Hmm~ [He hums quietly, taking that in. So she's mostly the same, save for the lack of Heaven and the glow... And she seems more mature, older somehow. It makes sense, considering her age now.]

How have you liked living in the human world for so long?

It's interesting. Watching so many things change, and learning more than I ever would in heaven. I don't even faint when I see a dead fish. [Yes, that's a very important thing!]

Although, it can be almost painful to care about a human so much.

[Yeah, that is an important thing, actually! Considering how he remembers her, that's a huge step.

He would comment on those things, but her last statement gives him pause.]

But the pain is worth it, isn't it?

Of course. Just seeing him makes me happy, even though he doesn't remember any of his past lives.

It's...interesting to see the same soul, but get to see a new Shuichiro each time.

[Oh yeah, she's grown up quite a bit!]

[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.

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.]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There is, but there's always a chance he'll find someone else.

I've actually gotten a job at the flower shop! I can't water them since I'm inside, but it's nice to care for all the different plants there. And I also get to help people hear them for the first time.

I will probably find plenty of gardens once Spring is fully here.

Oh! I'm sorry I'm so late in welcoming you, then. I was gone for quite some time.

[And then he's been hermitting since coming home to an empty house.]

I'm glad you're doing well here, though.

Gone? Were you kidnapped?

[Because people just don't disappear!]

Well, I got to stay with two friends until I got all my memories back. So that helped.

I must have been, but I don't recall it at all. It must not have been very bad.

Do you still stay with them? Your friends, I mean.

Well...I suppose that's good.

For now. I was going to find another place to live in a day or two since I've been there long enough.

[He supposes she doesn't need his protection anymore, but...He can't help but be a little selfish.]

My house is open, if you didn't mind living with animals. [He laughs] We've gained a pet or two since you left.

For a little bit of time, or more? [She's actually used to moving around here. But she would really like a place to stay for good.]

I wouldn't mind that at all. I've actually never had a pet. What are they??

...I don't think you remember anymore, but you lived here for a short while before you left again. You were smaller then, but I can set up one of the rooms for you and you can have a place of your own, if you like.

As for pets, there is a goldfish named Dog in the kitchen, and a chicken named Fish who lives in the house sometimes. Oh, and Tammy the big yellow bird out back and of course, Saizou. Do you remember him?

I was told I was here for a little while without my memories, but I don't get small anymore. But thank you. That is really nice.

[Hold on. She has gotten lost with the names and type of animals.] Yes, I remember Saizou, but those are confusing names...but, how big is Tammy?
