it's been almost 3 days without another note. i've been learning and researching about "non-phantom spirits" with albedo and sucrose for those 3 days.

this day, we decided to use my laptop as a fresh slate to write down everything we've learned so far.

yet the moment i opened the thing we were going to type everything on, it suddenly wouldn't let me type.

"sorry, i don't know why it's doing this.." i apologize to the people besides me.

it started typing by itself

"my"
"body"
"is"
"where"
"you"
"found"

"ah! it's spelling out the notes!" i say, hoping for another word.

"love."

"well that's a new one..." i say trying to think of where i found "love".

"hey, that's most likely the last one. there's a period." albedo says, making me think even more.

"well.. maybe it means tama? i do love tama very much..?" i ask aloud, "probably not the very much still alive cat, kazuha" albedo tells me.

"you're right.." i mumble.

where i found love?

what do i love?

the inazuma style food place that's in liyue? probably not..

oddly fluffy stuffed animals? also probably not..

wait

could it be...

who do i love?

well, there's tomo.. but i think it means romantic love, not platonic..

ah!

kunikuzushi?

wait.. why would i remember him just now?

he didn't exi-

did he?

wait..

i thought you could only have dreams about people that you've actually seen.. where have i seen him?

ugh...

i look at the computer screen to see that something else has been typed out.

"remember that hole."
"8"

"what would that mea-" i say before remembering everything.

"i know where we need to go!" i shout as i stand up to but my shoes on.

"where?" sucrose asks, also now standing up.

"long story short, when i was 8 i fell into this deep hole that was never patched up, this- this thing was in there with me but it was not alive. it's whats reaching out to us. and it just so happens that when i was in my coma, i was dating this thing." i say getting out of the house to head to the hole.

about an hour and a half of running and walking we arrived.

"its.. it's not patched up!" i say, being slightly happy.

i jump into the hole, and sure as hell i see a bunch of metal parts. i start looking around the giant hole and suddenly i see it. the body of the lover i once dreamed to have.

i run over to the metal body and put my hand on its ice cold cheek.. "hey, we're gonna get you fixed... i promise" i say, not realizing the tear that fell down my cheek.

"i'll carry him, kazuha." albedo offers. "thank you, albedo." i say through a painful smile.
