(open) i am wrong when chieko slumbers within me / i am right when i listen to her voice in my ear

WHO: Koutarou
WHERE: The woods, streets, convenience stores, fast food stops
WHEN: 11th to 24th
WHAT: Koutarou goes to the woods and gets lost for a week. Then he comes back home and wanders in exhausted misery.
WARNINGS: None at the moment. Possibly the topic of death and mental illness if topics of the real past comes up.


[ Just remembering a name can mess up a lot. "Chieko"... A name that holds so much love...

And remembering it caused a whole lot of pain. Sleeptalking once too many times messes things up.

How could he have ever forgotten her name? Why did he even need to remember now? ]


11-17 || Recollé Woods
[ Koutarou feels both miserable and distracted, and for the first time since he was disowned, he calls in sick even though he isn’t. Back then it was as a student and this time he’s a teacher, and it’s a little different. It’s just as irresponsible, but at least it’s nine years since the last time.

Instead of staying in the city, he goes to the forest. He goes there because of a thing he remembered last month, probably from hearing Hitori’s thoughts in his head. He remembers hearing her voice in nature. Even though she wasn’t around any more.

He brings several sketchbooks along, and food, and he doesn’t care that he gets lost. Eventually he sits by the lake, sometimes visited by an animal. He stays there for days, working and listening, but he can’t hear anything except the nature no matter how hard he listens. Why does that make him want to cry? (He doesn’t notice that his sadness is showing through the speech bubbles. With the words of that thought (likely Japanese), or with images expressing them without letters.) ]


18-24 || Streets
[ Eventually giving up eventually, eventually finding the way out, he aimlessly wanders the streets the evening he finally reaches the city. He continues wandering late into the morning, during the day, during the next evening. The bubble sometimes appearing over his head, showing “眠い

。”, doesn’t bother him. He’s not tired. (He is, but he doesn’t want to sleep. He can’t sleep.) The “毒い

。” doesn’t mean anything either, he isn’t that cold. ]

18-24 || Food
[ Even if he doesn’t go to sleep, he sometimes remembers hunger, and he enters the closest open convenience store or fast food restaurant. If he nods off while still standing, don’t worry. He’ll wake up and continue looking for something to buy. ]

?? | Wildcard
[ So Koutarou has been dumped by his NPC girlfriend. He will miss a couple of classes. And so early in the new term, too, oops. ]
