It doesn’t take us very long until we arrive at the stairway that leads down into Shogun’s Castle. Over the double glass doors, there’s a bright neon sign that clearly displays the...
--- Chapter 7, Part 2: Friends With each bump on the old road, the ancient bus rattles and jolts. This thing needs to be shut down soon. Before it implodes in on itself with all these nice people aboard. I’m used to it. I used to ride this thing into the city every weekend when I was a kid. What I’...
--- Chapter 7, Part 1: Friends The bus is late. It’s amazing that the old thing still runs, so I’m not that surprised that it’s late. I’m no stranger to waiting at this bus stop for it. But in the rare occurrence that it does actually get here on time, I make it a habit to always get here early. Yo...
I've been overkilling on post length. Got the notice today. However it was noted that my stuff was "not shit". So that's pretty cool. So part three is basically half of part two and yada yada. The whole story is going through some length and consistency edits. Some stuff I should have done...
...eh? wrong file? Also, boo on the forced chocolate joke. Trying too hard, and not funny without the context. As previously stated, I could not resist. I've already begun to resent myself for putting it in. Stems from a stupid drawing I did of that last scene at lunch the other day. I will probabl...

I apologize in advance for a particular joke within this chapter. I couldn't resist. --- Chapter 6, Part 1: Conve RIN tion The phone next to me goes off. Ughhhh. No. It can't be time to get up yet. I watched two movies with Emi last night and sat against the bottom of her bed for both of them. My ba...
I love the story, especially the fact that there's a cool, relatable, and not-insane bro for Hisao. Well thank you and I'm glad that... Hold on. a cool , relatable, and not-insane bro for Hisao That is totally not the word I would use to describe Katsuo. But thank you! His Mom probably says he's co...
---Chapter 5, Part 3: Dinner and a Movie Hello again, ceiling. I'd love to say that it's nice to see you again, but... well, it's not. I've never particularly enjoyed staring at you last year. I don't particularly enjoy staring at you now. I let out a tiny sigh as I try closing my eyes again. They ...
--- Chapter 5, Part 2: Dinner and a Movie "Soooo." Hisao breaks the uncomfortable silence that grew between the four of us. Emi and I haven't said anything to each other since we emerged from my room. Now, we're sitting directly across from each other, staring at the plates on the floor i...
