Flower, Stem and Branch My tools lay out on the desk, next to an empty bowl, and the material I gathered. This makes me feel more at ease than I have in months. On the bed, Emi looks on with curiosity as I start to work. I take my kenzan and set it down in the bowl. Made of brass, it feels so famili...

Tossed and Turned After last night, one thing stands out above all others. Rika is a cover hog. As with yesterday, my medication wakes me up long before my alarm is set. A nice long shower, then I have to consider what to wear. As I am not attending classes, I don’t need to wear my uniforms, my nice...

There is the first half of Act 1. I will post the second half tomorrow. Please feel free to leave feedback.

Take Two The afternoon passes rather quickly. Without much else to do, I wind up sharing girl talk with Emi. She has so many interesting anecdotes about the school and surrounding area. We lose track of time, which means when a knock comes at the door, it’s a surprise to both of us. Behind the door,...

A Light Problem When the pain finally subsides enough, I’m aware that I’m no longer moving. Opening my eyes, I can’t quite make out where I am. I can hear several voices nearby, slightly muffled like they’re behind a door. From the tone I was reminded of when my mother would scold me as a child. But...

Light at the End of the Tunnel A group assignment, again. Mutou really seems to enjoy these. Groups, again. I look over, and Hanako’s desk sits empty. No helping it then. A glance over and I see Misha’s smiling face looking in my direction. “You joining us, Iwacchan?” It was asked as a question, but...

A Fish Out Of Water No More I am wide awake, and it is only 6am. After half an hour of laying there, I give up on any hope for sleep, and start preparing for my first day at the pool. I pack up the suit and a towel into the small carrier sitting to the side on my closet shelf. Then I look through th...

A Lady in Rags Returning to the classroom, it seems I am the first one to arrive. Only the next teacher is there, preparing for the upcoming history class. I move to my seat and get myself ready. I glance over as people walk in, and when Hanako enters through the rear door, she pauses before sitting...

The Unlikely Pair The pounding wakes me from my slumber with a start. Glancing over to my clock, 7:15, 15 minutes before my alarm was to go off. Who the hell is making such a racket this early in the morning? I pull myself out of bed, and stomp my way to the door, still not fully awake. Opening it, ...

Note in Red I have been awake now for nearly 12 hours after a short nights sleep. The drive here was long, but it seems to be worth it. Even the teacher’s droning voice is not enough to break me of this feeling of freedom. I am no longer in that hospital bed. I may be broken, my hopes for a future g...

Act 1: Palette https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuhMM02QcMs title card_Act1_card.png Title Card artwork by BluPhoenix The Princess from the Land of Porcelain Before us, the grand gate of the school, open and welcoming. Getting up at 4 in the morning was surprisingly easy. Getting here before school ...

Prologue: Overhead, the trees rattle like the chimes outside the garden window, preventing the stillness from becoming too overwhelming. During the summer, this place would be filled with couples enjoying the beauty. Now, with snow covering the ground and the trees bare, it is equally as beautiful b...

While fanfic diving, I ran across an incomplete story by Leaty, Mean Time to Breakdown , which took the Iwanako/Hisao confession, and flipped it on its head. Instead of Hisao collapsing due to a heart condition, she had Iwanako collapse. The story idea I found absolutely enthralling, because it allo...

Hmm, you're right, that scene was on Saturday, I misremembered that. Still I don't think that was like Shizune. She does heckle people for being lazy or for breaking the rules. The line “So Hicchan~ We didn’t know you had a girlfriend! So that’s why you resisted our charm and didn't join the counci...

Would she do that for just a friend? Should be pretty obvious that she doesn't consider him 'just a friend'... (Maybe some kind of transition here? Or just leave blank?) I always use "***" but anyway leaving the notes in is the worst option :-) and with the festival tomorrow there’s even ...
