Dear Diary December 30 — Sunday “Dear Diary - it hasn’t been a year, but I wanted to tell you about Tetsu’s first time meeting my parents.” “He wants to make a good impression - I know he wants to ask my father for permission to marry me, but I’ve already said yes - and it’s me who’s getting marrie...

December 29 — Checkout Morning Leaving day was always the same - never enough time; the time one had seemed to have just evaporated away when a day before it felt like forever. There was a flurry of intense cleaning - the washing machine was going, the dishwasher, and the vacuum. Fortunately the ci...

December 28 — Preparing for Departure Morning Hanako and Lilly were spending a quiet moment in their room — Hanako had stopped by in the early morning, after spending the night with Miki, to get a change of clothes. “Hanako?” “Y-yes Lilly?” “You .. haven’t been in our room much. Is everything.. alr...

December 27 — The Morning After Morning Next morning, arms and legs entangled in the sheets, Hanako nestled into the crook of Miki’s arm. “M-Miki, I think we sh-should talk about l-last night ..” “Is everything OK?” Hanako nodded - “More than OK. Are y-you OK?” “Mm-hm,” and Miki kissed Hanako’s nec...

December 26 — Boxing Day Morning Outside the ryokan, the sun rose bright and clear, hovering low on the horizon. It must have turned cold over night as the steam from the hot spring sent up clouds which obscured the sun and filled the courtyard with a dense mist. Rin had finally fallen asleep after...

December 25 — Christmas Day Morning Early risers waited for the sleepers-in to wake before opening presents. While they waited there was tea, sugar cookies, oranges, and all manner of treats for a Christmas morning, and while they were waiting Lilly and Tetsu fell to talking. “Tetsu, how did you ar...

Duly noted - thanks! Something to file under "For next time I'm inspired to self-administer a bastinado" in my memory cabinet 😅 FWIW - while not an ostensible tragedy - our gormless MC Tetsu in `Two Body Problem` certainly took his sweet time in getting Rin to `plight her troth`, as it wer...

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read, your kind words, and for your feedback! A few points — and these are all based on my own experiences / that of those near me, but YMMV. I sincerely hope so at least. Also, your opinions are as valid as mine — I'm only sharing some of the thoughts that ...

Sweetie Phones Home December 16 — Sunday Rin found herself uncharacteristically at odds in the hour between afternoon and evening. Normally a time of beautiful light, clouds had covered the sky and just turned everything grey for the past couple of days which had exhausted the novelty of the situat...

Home Phone for Sweetie December 15 — Saturday Rin’s phone rang - which was surprising in itself, given how few people were likely to want to call her. Even more surprising was that she heard it - Tetsu had cleaned up the pile of dirty laundry under her desk and had found the phone under it. He’d ta...

Winter Break Away December 12 — Wednesday “Hey Rin - I was thinking of renting a cottage for a week over winter break; people will go home for Christmas, but may have a few days here and there to hang out. What do you think?” “I think it could be expensive.” “Let me worry about that for now - I’ll ...

Me and What Army? December 10 — Monday “Miki, am I being an idiot?” “Probably, but give me a bit more detail.” Tetsu lay on the bench, 185 resting comfortably on his rib cage as they chatted. “This thing with Rin - we’re so close now, but how well do I even know her? I feel like I’m in deep - somet...

Afternoons in December December 08 — Saturday “Tetsu?” “Mm?” “How does your project taste?” “Taste?” “You’re sticking your tongue out at it.” “Oh .. I do that when I’m deep in concentration — sometimes my tongue sticks out a bit.” Rin nodded “You looked like Emi at her Emiest, but derpier.”

 “You’...

The Incredible Vanishing Rin November 14 - Wednesday “Tezuka? You mean Kaiyou’s hot girlfriend?” Rin was, almost by definition, abstracted from external influences. She stood outside in the sun and the rain and the snow to capture a light or a colour or a moment; she sat in class, her internal comm...
