the twenty-fifth.

[nonesodangerous]

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.

Mileina Vashti was very worried.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Understandable, I suppose. I'm told the noises were somewhat frightening.

[doomedyouth00.livejournal.com]

Mm. Have you spoken to her?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

A little.

[areyoulovers]

I was very worried, like Mr. Seiei said! I'm so glad you're all right! Oh, and I fed R2-D2 the whole time, don't worry!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry, Mileina.

[areyoulovers]

As long as you're feeling better, that's all right! I mean, it was a bit scary when it was dark and there were noises, but mostly I was hoping you would feel better.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't have to worry about me.

Miha-nii whined about all of his guard shifts!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

He will be compensated.

[trinities]

Will I be, too?

Unless the compensation is a BJ or something, then never mind.

2/2

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

You will also be compensated.

So it was a Shadow of sorts, huh? Just glad to see you doing okay.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I don't know what else to call it. Nothing like that has ever happened to me before, and there were no unusual factors present apart from the fog.

Of course, it certainly differed from the others, but it's possible that there's a reason for that, too.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

It's as good a name as any.

It looks like each Shadow thing was tailored to that specific person.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

That isn't what I meant by different. You say that they were tailored to specific people, and that was visible: they were the so-called true selves, the hidden depths of that person. "Mine" was different in that it wasn't. It had nothing to do with who I am.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Tieria-san? Is something wrong?

[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.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Nice to see you looking your manly self, Tieria.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

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

[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.
