So... Gou-chan is gone. Which means I'm now living in a house by myself that I can barely afford without sacrificing something.

So I figured I'd try this first. I have three bedrooms free currently. Which means I can allow three people to move in. The rooms can house two people, so someone who has someone from home or someone they are in a relationship with can have one room if they wanted.

If you want to know more about the place, please let me know and I'll be happy to show you around and for payment wise it would cost you only 2000 red bills a month. If you want to share a room with someone you know it would only be 1000 red bills a month each.

If you are interested let me know. If I don't get anyone by October, I'll probably consider downgrading.

Apart from that, I am here to say I've finished creating a few more candies. I just need the taste testers to try them out before I officially sell them and advertise. But I will say these ideas will be great if I've executed them correctly

[He stopped texting for a moment. He wasn't sure if he should add more, but after a moment he does.]

Due to Gou-chan's departure, the Sametobi S C will still be open. I am trying my best to see if I can take over and keep it running in memory of my friend. I just don't want to see her hard work go down the train... Is that odd?

Nagisa-chan :( Ibuki is sorry to hear your friend left.

I'll come see you soon. Just gotta load up on some things first.

[Like hugs. Because it sounds like he needs those.]

You didn't say where you lived!

What kind of candies did you make?

No, that's perfectly normal. Would you like me to direct any potential newcomers in need of housing your way?

It's fine. It just means she is back home with the others.

That's a good thing for some. Though... Do I need to know what you are loading up on?

I wouldn't give my exact address until someone said they were interested. Seemed logical enough to me.

I would appreciate it. I would be keeping an eye out as well myself.

It's good that it's good for her. But Ibuki is still sorry.

[She knows loneliness sucks.]

You'll find out when I see you.

And when will that be?

Yeah, I get that. What you're offering sounds really good, but what if we don't like the area? Even in newspapers they put a location!

Not long, unless Ibuki manages to get lost.

[But she's actually using a map for once. This is serious business.]

Then I'll wait to see what happens then.

Ah, I see. It's Genessia at least, so it's not like it's Everglade or something.

Right.

[Wait.]

Then Ibuki should probably ask where you are right now.

I can work with that!

So...can I get a tour?

[She did consider getting her own place, so why not?]

Currently at home. The address is 22nd Pine Avenue in Genessia.

If you want a tour, I'll be happy to show you around.

[Now she has a where, Ibuki can point her map in that direction and head there.

There's an Ibuki coming a-knocking. And when Nagisa opens the door, there's an Ibuki launching herself into hug mode.]

Great! When is good for you?

[While Nagisa should have really somewhat expected it. In all honesty, he still didn't. But with the hug came a barking from a golden labrador. Ai-chan didn't understand what was going on and thought barking would be a good idea.]

Ai-chan, it's okay. She's a friend, not some kidnapper or anything.

[Because he assumed that is what she thinks. What do dogs think when they bark anyway?]

Glad to see you made it at least.

Whenever, I still have to sort a few things out for a job, but I've been mostly working from home lately.

[Who knows what dogs think indeed? Either way, the barking gets Ibuki's attention soon enough and then she's moving to crouch in front of Ai because she's translating the barking slightly differently.]

Aww, don't worry Ai-chan. Ibuki won't leave you out.

[And so if she's allowed, she'll reach to pet Ai because she does know better than to go right for the hug.]

[Ai barked slightly, she was more than happy to have pets because they were nice and a form of affection that she liked. Nagisa just left them to it for the time being since he knew that Ai wouldn't really do much of anything.]

Guess Ai-chan is okay with you.

Alright. I'm free on weekends and most nights!

Do you make candies at home?

Sadly no. I design them at home, but most of what I need is at work.

Although I guess there is some candy I can make at home easily.

Well that's good. Ibuki would hate to have to play dodge-dog every time she comes to visit.

[She gives a few more pets before turning her attention back to where it was supposed to be to begin with.]

Anyway, Ibuki is here to help cheer you up as best she can.

You might still have to. She has a habit of getting excited sometimes when someone she knows comes over.

[Which thankfully isn't all that often for the most part. Smiling he was going to make sure he showed he was okay, even though he hated the fact people he cared for kept leaving.]

I don't need cheering up but I'm still glad your here anyway.

Well that's okay. Ibuki does that too.

[Big surprise, Ibuki has something in common with a labrador. Which means she might be visiting more often anyway.]

Well even if you think you don't, Ibuki is here. Being alone is something that should only come in small doses.

You get excitable when meeting people you know?

[he didn't sound very surprised if he had to be honest.]

How small doses?

Well yeah. Because it means I'm going to see my friends and how is that not exciting?

[Which is what makes her such a natural mood-maker, when she's so cheerful herself most of the time.]

Well, it depends. We all need time to ourselves but a lot of stuff's more fun with other people, right?

You have a very good point.

[He was always happy when he saw friends anyway.]

Yes. I mean some people like there alone time. I don't unless I'm really upset and it's about something I don't want to talk about, but usually always better with friends.

Right? Otherwise it gets a little lonely and Ibuki doesn't like lonely.

[Not that she can't do alone time but she's an extrovert at heart.]

No one likes feeling alone. I don't think anyway.

[he knew unless he really needed it, he prefered being around others. Feeling alone kind of sucked royally.]

But hey, neither of us is alone right now. We're both have each other and of course Ai-chan should we ever need someone to talk to.

That's totally right!

[And just like that, Ibuki's back to being hyped.]

What do you say we take Ai-chan for a little exercise? Walking is one of Ibuki's guaranteed cures for the blues.

[he paused. Sure, he had been meaning to walk the dog and usually he did this time... He had wanted to finish something first, but he figured he could push that back a bit.]

Sure! I mean she does need a walk.

[At the work walk Ai was already running off and within minutes was back with her lead. She had learn what it mean and knew what was needed.]

Ah, forgot she knows the word.

Aha, Ai-chan is smart! Ibuki will have to watch her words.

[But hey, they're all up for it so Ibuki figures they're onto a good thing.

She leaves Nagisa to get Ai ready, hovering near the door like she's an excitable labrador herself. Once they're set, she's first out of the door, despite that she doesn't even know which way they should head first.]

[He knelt down slightly to put the lead on before letting Ai take the lead until they were out the door. nce he stepped outside he turned to lock the door before being dragged along the route they would normally take.]

Okay, just follow me.

[Ibuki is more than happy just to follow along and let Ai lead with Nagisa steering. This is very much an instance where the journey is much more of an event than the destination, wherever it might be.

And it's nice to be outside. Even that can be a cure for so much that she's happy enough just to bask in it for now.]

[Nagisa just lets Ai leading him to where he knew she was going to go. Toward the park. It was a nice place and always a nice place to go in remembrance. But he had his reasons for such a thing as he looked over slightly.]

Did you know this has the name of every single person who came here like us and left. There are so many names it;s quite unbelieveable.

Huh. I remember you mentioning something like that before.

[Seeing it for real is a little different, though, and Ibuki slows her stride a little. For all her enduring cheer, it's hard to miss the significance of a place like this even for her.]

Hmm. Not sure I'd want to spend too long here though. It could get depressing.

It can be, but I always think of the good times and that for me isn't sad.

[But that was probably just him however as he moved away.]

It's the best way to not get sad.

Hmm, maybe. And I guess...maybe some of them have things to go back to. So that's not so bad.

[It's just hard not to think about the people who don't when she's one of them, at least as far as she knows.]

Exactly. I mean I know what I have to go back to and I knew what my friends had to go back to as well. For some we might never know, but one can't help but think it's for good reason they need to go back.

[Ai tugged slightly, wanting to move on as Nagisa instead goes to let her off the lead for the time being, get her to have a little run around. Chase a ball he had in his pocket and check out other dogs who might be near by.]

Guess that makes the idea of being kicked out less scary, huh?

[Ibuki's getting a little restless herself; she's never been much good at keeping still and the conversation's only making her more fidgety. Which is why she's soon letting herself get distracted by any other dogs nearby or anything else that stops her dwelling on what waits for her if Genessia doesn't stick.]

It does.

[Nagisa soon started to run after Ai to simply see if he was fast enough to catch her without any tricks. Apparently not. However as he tries other dogs soon started to join in, running around and chasing the ball when Nagisa finally stopped running.]

There are more dogs than I was expecting. So many different breeds too. Do you have a favourite?

Ibuki loves all dogs equally.

[Including some of the bigger dogs who seem to have recognised Ibuki as labrador in human guise and have managed to persuade her into tugs of war with the bigger sticks and branches. Which she frequently loses, but she's having fun all the same.]

So you have no favourite breed.

[There were some he wasn't as fond of, but he put that one down to a little dog trying to be a big dog.]

I think that's nice to not have a favourite, but there are some I am not fond of.

Well. It's true some breeds have more troublemakers than others but that's still no reason to think the whole breed is bad, right?

[Even in majority cases, Ibuki likes to hope that someday she'll find the outliers that become more than what their breed dictates.]

it depends on how they are raised, honestly. Any breed can be good with the right owners.

[He found those people disliked were probably the most friendly as well.]
