Week 5, Saturday, Evening

[resortghosts]

[ Knock knock! There's an invisible person at your door - although the journal used to hit the door might look familiar. ]

[rosebridled]

[ Somehow, even knowing about all the ghosts running around, she still half expects it to turn out to be a prank when she opens the door to find no one there. But-- ah, there's a floating journal.

And yes, it is familiar. ]

Nanase-kun?

[resortghosts]

[ Sorry Anthy, there's not going to be much warning besides the movement of the journal before he gives her a hug. It's pretty light, though - she can shake him off and he'll let go, easy. ]

[rosebridled]

Oh...

[ It's weird, but. She'll allow it... ]

Are you all right?

[ Besides being dead and today being terrible anyway ]

[resortghosts]

[ He releases her quickly enough, opening up the journal to a prewritten page:

"The tablets don't work anymore. I don't see anymore staff, not even the chef. If we can't eat, we won't be able to contact anyone anymore. This is probably goodbye." ]

[rosebridled]

[ Oh. That's... a little sad.

... ]

I guess shaved ice probably wouldn't count, would it?

[resortghosts]

[ The journal flips to a fresh page, and he begins writing on it with a pen fetched from an invisible pocket.

"The Sunday after I died, I lost tangibility because I just ate junk food, so..." ]

[rosebridled]

[ Right.... He did say something like that before. ]

Well... I'm sorry we won't be able to talk to you. It shouldn't be forever, though, right?

[resortghosts]

[ "Maybe if we can still get out... The resort is dying, though. And we can't leave it as ghosts. Even when the resort was somewhere, the windows are just a void for us." ]

[rosebridled]

I'm sure everyone will work hard to get all of you out.

[ Especially Akira, after these past two days... ]

In the meantime, maybe we'll find some spare rations in storage...

[ Also, here's Chu-Chu offering two and a half crackers. ]

[resortghosts]

[ Chu-Chu's offering brings a smile they can't see, but he won't reach for them. Instead, he continues to write:

"Just take care. I really am glad you and Chu-Chu made it through safely." ]

[rosebridled]

[ Chu-Chu seems a little deflated by this rejection, but he'll just drown his sorrows in two and a half crackers. ]

Thank you, Nanase-kun. I hope we'll see you again.

[resortghosts]

[ "Hopefully. Just keep working with the others, okay? I don't know if there's anything left for us to do over here, but... if there is, we'll do it. It's hard to just sit around doing nothing." ]
