023 -- [Accidental Post]
[Earlier, when looking through his father’s book for the first time in several months, Shikamaru found some pictures he’d never seen before being used as bookmarks. It was… nostalgic, to say the least.
He finds another bookmark to replace them; puts the photos in a drawer to look at later. Because haha, he knows how this works, right? He leaves them out, and somehow his journal accidentally records it. Yeah. Hell no. He’s smarter than that and doesn’t leave his journal anywhere near them. On top of that, he takes it with him when he leaves to assist with a chakra training lesson. Crisis averted!
Guess what he sees when he opens up his journal two hours later.
Where’s the nearest wall. He needs to beat his head softly against it while he attempts to figure out how this happened. Feel free to action it up when he’s back at CH1 too, if you like.]

[The ninja's head lowers slightly.]
We are all in the same position here, Shikamaru-san. And perhaps... I have something of a second opportunity.
Why should I not care?

[He raises a point, a finger.] You didn't seem to the last time I confronted you on it. Even now, it's as if you're not taking full advantage of the hand you've been dealt here.

[Mostly thinking out loud, on his part.]

Especially not at the current time.

...There are other factors at work now, that I didn't expect.
This is all.

What does he want? It should be a simple thing. He sighs.]
Has anyone ever told you you make things needlessly complicated?
[This is his hand in dropping the matter for now, by the way.]
[private because ninja]
[Sorry, Shikamaru. Those are still difficult thoughts.]
