Memorial.

The illustration above shows how I doodle about when I typically just wait for the time to take the train up to my training venue. I didn't really have any orientation for the illustration, I started off with Mai and then just progressed along to just draw out the following characters from Mai-Hime.

I wasn't really into who I was drawing so I just roughly made out the characters, so I apologise if Nao doesn't look like Nao and Takumi looking a little more grown up. I was just in a drawing phase, that meant I was just drawing with no sense really, that explains why everyone in the illustration look disappointingly down.

I sigh.

That has apparently been taken off my shoulders.

One of readers who didn't state their name popped in a message in my mail box, asking me whether 'Katashiro' and 'Avant-Danse' is part of the one-shot series. Well, this is the answer Mister Anonymous:

'Katashiro' will not be a one-shot, though I stated it in my fanfiction profile under up coming one-shots. Though it will somewhat be alike 'Phantasm Finality' it will not be a one-shot. It has a reason I will not state.

'Avant-Danse' on the other hand is under a state of dilemma because I have the notion to bring it under a one-shot if I plan not to drag the plot. However, if I take in all the loopholes, I will have it as a series of chapters.

Lastly, 'And I was the concierge' will stay a one-shot, even though it has to be one bloody long one-shot. I will stick to my word on what I had said in the chapters of 'Prologues.'. I will not bring it down into a series! I will not!! For as long it has to take me.

I do not intend to take back my word.

I hadn't have the slightest clue what to do when my two of my friends came up to me and asked me out for a all-singles day on Valentine's day. I looked dumbly at them and at that moment when I was trying to think of an answer, my mind just went into a crash. So in the end, I eventually said yes. I moved along agreeing and insisted I would be buying the drinks.

So here I am, trying to think of what kind of drinks do I need to buy.

Truth be told, I hadn't been asked out on Valentine's day so I'm quite surprised and happy in a way even though I'm celebrating with my friends. Cheers! I'm looking forward to it. Love comes in all sorts of ways, apparently I share it through time.

Time is simply just irreversible.

So I wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day for tomorrow!

I pushed the shopping trolley over to her languidly and gave out a loud sigh. At that, she picked up my reluctance and turned over from where she was browsing at the cleaning liquids,

'Stop groaning, if you didn't want to come, then you shouldn't have.'

I picked up my heavy head and stared at her, I huffed out noisily,

'What, so you don't want me to spend time with you?'

She gave me a glare and I raised my hands in defeat. She moved back to her browsing and I pushed the trolley behind her and I noticed this on one of the shelves:




The Japanese words read: Hair colour, Apricot brown.

I looked at it and I let out a laugh, she caught it and stood behind me asking,

'What now?', she moved over to look over my shoulder, 'You want me to dye my hair?'

I bit on my laughter and I held my mirth,

'No, not really, I was just thinking how that girl on that cover looks a little like you!'

She gave me a blank stare and smacked me on the back,

'Please. Flatter me in a more appropriate way.'

She moved away from me and I snapped that picture with my phone, she does look like that girl on the cover.

And she was the one that once called me charming.

Geez, and here I thank her for the good times.

Then again,

Cheers!
