Entry Log 2 [Video] [Filtered away from Oowada Mondo & Kuwata Leon] [Forward dated to 1 Sept]

[The feed turns on to show a young 'girl' blushing brightly. 'She' shyly averts her eyes and can't quite look at the camera at first then 'she' takes a deep breath and looks into the camera with renewed confidence. 'Her' filters should work after all. This programming prodigy has written the codes 'herself' after all and checked them numerous times. That doesn't stop 'her' from stammering though. This is so embarrassing! But it's been troubling 'her' for a while now and since 'she' has decided to be strong and not run away from anything anymore...]

A-ano... does... does anyone know how one can tell if... if a friendship is perhaps more than just a friendship? How do you tell if you perhaps like someone... more than a friend? How do you know if that person feels the same way or not? I...

[There's a pause... then a frantic...] T-Thank you very much for your kind attention!

((Edit: Forward dated to 1 Sept when filters don't fail... orz))

It doesn't do anything special at all then? Hmmm... I suppose so... but... don't weak people always have to ask for help?

We were trapped in a school where we had to kill each other in order to leave... Mn. I do. If I go back, I'll die.

Better than trying to act tough all the time, if you ask me. Takes real guts to admit you can't handle everything on your own.

[ Man, that little mention though... ]

...Damned if you do, damned if you don't eh? Either here or there... sorry, mate.

Eh? Really? [he's never thought of it this way before!]

[he nods, then shakes his head a bit] It's alright. I rather like it here... despite all the scary things that happen here and the monsters, everyone here's been really nice and no one's made fun of me or bullied me.

Bob's your uncle then. You learn something new every day, eh?

[ Feels good to be able to give someone a little hope in a place like this. ]

Goes to show what I know then. This place is a bleeding hell but I suppose it isn't all that bad if you lot had it worse.

Eh? [He's never heard that expression before.] Mn. I guess so.

[he nods] What's the place you're from like, Knox-san?

[ British slang. Gotta love it. Though he's thinking about Chihiro's question a bit. ]

Kind of normal, really. Show up for work, go out on the field, head back, hand in your report... do it all again tomorrow. Buildings are all shiny, being on the field's a downright mess... but it's home.

Course, I got no room to complain and all.

I see... [giggles a bit] So being a Reaper is really just like any other job?

[ Oh good. At least someone's feeling better. Does a body good to know that. ]

Yeah. Yeah, it pretty much is. Don't think I've asked what you do though... apart from the murdering highschool thing.

Well, I'm still in school but I'm also a computer programmer! I've been working part-time at the company my father works at since elementary school.

[In other words, he's a programming prodigy.]

[ There's a long low whistle from that. ]

Blimey, a lass like you, young as you are already with a job and everything. That's impressive, I'll tell you what. Good on you, then.

[This is so embarrassing...] Well, programming is the only thing I'm good at really...
