She's still not here?

As I opened the door to the Ultimate Jeweler's lab, I was once again met with no luck(ironically) as it was still empty without anyone inside it.

It's been 3 days since she sent that message to me about meeting her in her lab for something 'important', but weirdly,  when I opened the door back then, she wasn't in her lab too.

I chalked it all up to her being a no-show like before, but this time it was different.

...these past few days, I haven't seen her anywhere around here. Not at the group breakfasts, and I didn't even see her enter her room at all these past few days.

And that's..how I got here.

Other than her strange, and suddenly disappearance, somehow Hikaru was still sick with his cold. At least I think he was? If I could be honest with you, as someone whose an older brother to two younger siblings, I can definitely tell when someone is faking being sick.

I dunno...it's just the way his symptoms shift around in random ways that it gets hard to believe he was sick. Believe me, I know what good being fake sick is from my twin sisters.

...Am I being selfish for thinking this? I should probably help take care of him, but at the same time I also wanted to have time to find Asumi.

Just..where could she have gone?

I asked everyone here if they've seen her or not, and they all replied with a collective no.

It's like she just...doesn't exist, anymore here.

...My head hurts thinking about all this. Hopefully Hikaru gets well soon, and Asumi turns up, and tells me she's okay or something.

...I should probably help Mitsukuni take a break with taking care of him soon. There's clearly nothing here. It's just my dumb brain being unable to comprehend that maybe some people want to be left alone.

...Maybe I'll even give him a massage if I have the time to thank him. I was always good with them according to Ms. Shibuki.

Though...now that I think about it.

Asumi did know about the room inside the school thing that we visited last night.

And well..

...I checked out the office last night, and...I have no idea how to explain it, but the entrance to it had been walled off.

...This is my fault isn't it? Maybe if I had gotten to her lab sooner, I would've found out what had happened.

Maybe even be able to help her.

But now she's...nowhere to be seen.

Once again...all my fault...

All my fault.

All your fault. All your fault. All your fault.

All your-

"MMMMM!!!!" Suddenly I was snapped out of my not so positive thoughts when I heard someone shriek from inside the library.

Worriedly, I rushed to check it out.

Hurriedly, I opened the library door to see what the commotion was.

Only to be met with the labyrinth of bookshelves that I forgot was this library.

...is it me or did this place change shape from before?
