[There's some shuffling heard before Nagisa speaks up as she tries to set up the journal. Yeaaah she hasn't really been using this thing much lately, seeing as how she is still sick. But today she's actually feeling a little better! And well enough to go ahead and make a post that she's been wanting to make for some time now, regarding a wonderful get well card that Fuuko made for her and had other people sign. So she'll go ahead and do that!]

Hello! Umm... [Wow I just noticed all of her entries start like this...] I wasn't feeling well enough to do so earlier, but I'm feeling a little better today so... I wanted to thank those who signed Fuu-chan's get well card for me... Both those whom I do know, and those whom I don't but would like to! It made me really, really happy! I read them all a-and... yes, thank you all very much!

[There's a small pause for her to think for a moment before she continues.] There are sure a lot of lights outside, aren't there? I can see them from my window but... I really wish I could go outside and see them up close... B-but um, anyway.. Christmas is coming up, isn't it? And my birthday is actually the day right before it -- Christmas Eve -- so I wanted to also invite my friends to join Fuu-chan and Kotomi-chan for that! It'd make me very happy to see you all and um... I-I guess that's it! S-so thank you for listening! [she feels like such an awkward turtle right now.]

...O-oh, also... Those who are going on the draft... ...Please be careful, okay..?

Ohhh.. No, I guess I'm not... But even if I wanted to make it a priority, I'm not really sure how I'd figure something like that out. [Plenty of people must have tried before, and if none of them have found a way, she's sure that she wouldn't have either.]

[hisdarkmark]

You don't think you're smart enough?

[cherishedmiracle]

[..Well...] ...N-no, not really... Especially in comparison to a lot of the other people here.

[hisdarkmark]

And why are you comparing yourself to other people?

[cherishedmiracle]

Well... Rather than meaning it like that, I guess I just mean that it would be much more likely for someone else to figure it out than myself. [Like Draco! He'd probably have a better chance..]

[hisdarkmark]

To be honest I don't know about that likelihood. Nobody's seemed to figure anything out so far, have they?

[cherishedmiracle]

No, I guess not.. I'm sure one day they will though! I hope so... [..except then that would mean not being able to see the people here anymore. So conflicted.]

[hisdarkmark]

Unfortunately, I doubt it's any day soon. We've been here for years and we're not much closer to solving anything.

[cherishedmiracle]

On the bright side, at least that means that we still have more time for us to all be together, right? Before we all have to leave and not be able to see each other anymore..

[hisdarkmark]

I suppose that is a good point, yes. Might be the only bright side, actually.

[cherishedmiracle]

Mm! I'm glad you agree. [At least he likes that much..!] So for now, we'll just have to wait and see what happens, right? And hope that we'll find a way out sometime.

[hisdarkmark]

To be honest? I think it's the waiting part that bothers me.

[cherishedmiracle]

Ahh really? Why is that? [Are you that impatient, Draco--]

[hisdarkmark]

I'm not one for just sitting on my hands and waiting, are you?

[cherishedmiracle]

Well... It is nicer to not have to wait, but if it's necessary, I don't mind it.

[hisdarkmark]

...you're far too nice for your own good, did you know?

[cherishedmiracle]

...E-eh..? What do you mean..?

[hisdarkmark]

I mean you seem like the type to just roll over and accept everything.

[cherishedmiracle]

Since we can't leave Luceti now though, I figured accepting it would be a good idea, so... [otherwise she'd be upset all the time..]

[hisdarkmark]

Only if you're genuinely happy and not just accepting it to avoid the latter.

[cherishedmiracle]

[She smiles.] I am happy though. I got to meet a lot of people here whom I wouldn't be able to back at home. Even if we're stuck here away from home with experiments, meeting those people and having them as friends makes it worthwhile, I think.

[hisdarkmark]

...fair enough. I guess not all of us can be as optimistic.

[cherishedmiracle]

Everyone is different, after all... but as long as you're at least content and happy, then that's okay, right?

[hisdarkmark]

[A slow nod.] That's okay.
