Hi. [The journal feed starts unceremoniously.] Noticed the village is getting back into the swing of things. Either that or those who are sulking are doing so more quietly. Good luck with that, whichever.

But hey. I'm looking for a lighter that I misplaced. Anyone comes across it, lemme know. Thanks.

[Through the afternoon and evening, Shikamaru can be found in various places around the village: digging through things in shops, searching through grass and shrubs and so on. He hasn't been around the village much in the last two days, busy elsewhere with his deer.

Now it almost seems like he's making up for it. One minute you might walk past him digging through the trash behind a building, only to go in to find he's inside already (probably asking if the place has a lost and found). Someone's busy.]

If it does, then almost everyone you've ever met is a bad person too. Do you think that way when you think about them?

Then you can't say the same about yourself. ...it may not be nice to think about, but it's a trait we humans have.

[ She's quiet for a while, just walking and kicking her feet - because yes, she's still helping to look - but Ikki does eventually speak back up again. ]

[More quiet than it would usually be for her.]

It's not bad. Just... sad. And something we can overcome.

You're a good kid, Ikki.

[ Any level of quiet is unusual for her, really. ]

Thanks! ...Um, really, though. Thank you for talking to me about all that.

Any time.
