Ayame's store, and Shigure's house. I'm certain they will be more than glad to take you to the Main House, should you ever wish to pay the rest of us a visit.

Well, if that's the case-- here, I demand you visit sometime, too!

Oh, wait. [takes it back to scribble on it]

This is Kotobuki's apartment, and this is Sempai's, and this is Osaka High, and this--

I travel around a lot and I don't have a place of my own, so just in case you can't find me at my studio~

G-Gojyo-san, how long have you been here?!

(frozen comment)

[sexy-roach.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter. I've got some questions for you, too. And a request.

(frozen comment)

[pictureustogether]

... Yes?

[sexy-roach.livejournal.com]

First. What're you doing about Hokuto? Will you wait till the very last minute to tell 'im about this, too?

(frozen comment)

[pictureustogether]

... Yes.

So you finally gave up on him?

Then why the hell are you leaving?

Gojyo-san.

No, no, it's a perfectly valid question, Hatori-san. And he's in all his right to be protective of Sempai, after all.

I'm leaving, because I have never really liked this place. I love the people here, I've learned a lot from both the good and the bad, but... this is not where I belong. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss doing my job back home, or travelling around.

And Kotobuki needs me. She is a very strong, independent woman, but I'm sure she needs me, just like I need her.

Like I told Hatori-san, I am aware I'm being selfish... but I haven't been, in a long while, and I feel like I need a vacation from this vacation. I don't know if I will ever come back... or if I will remember... but I at least know that I won't lose touch with people like Sohma-san, or Sempai.
