the twenty-fifth.

Looking back at what happened, I am thankful that my... Shadow was recognized as an anomaly and ignored. Such a thing could not have truly been a reflection of myself, for it spoke nonsense and little else, and showed nothing of who I am. No, they were quite right to leave me be. After all, what would a false Shadow have done to protect itself? It's impossible to guess.

I am honestly grateful that they didn't try to interfere. And I am grateful to Nena and Michael for dealing with it quietly and efficiently.



...ah, there was something else. What was it? Oh, that's right.

Karen Minazuki. A word, please.

Nice to see you looking your manly self, Tieria.

...

It's good to see you're back to...normal.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Nice to see you admit that I'm not a woman.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...not wrong, exactly. Or at least, I should hope not. It really depends on you.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Is there something you wanted, then?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Merely to make a statement of intent, as I believe is fitting in this situation. At least, this is what I understand from my limited relationship with popular culture, and knowledge of standard social interactions.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...I'm not certain I understand. What situation?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Pervert!

...what?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Why are you asking about us?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I don't want details of your intimate activities, Karen Minazuki! Who do you think I am?!

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Mostly because your shadow was so feminine it probably sparkled.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Another count against it being mine, then. I have no secret desire to be female.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. There's always going to be one exception to a pattern; whatever that thing was, that was it.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

A reasonable one, please.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Heh. Then you are one special snowflake, Tieria.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Then what are you asking?!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...yes, I suppose I am.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I'm not asking anything! As the closest equivalent to an elder brother that she possesses, it is simply my duty to make sure that any prospective partners treat her with kindness and respect! In fact, from what I can tell, there are even traditional statements in this situation. Namely:

If you hurt my sister, I will make you wish you were never born.
