[I: Pesgare, shops, April 3-5, tw: suicide/drowning mentions] [This was a mistake.
Yes, Shuji wants to be of use. And yes, his increased strength makes him able to lift things that have fallen and put them back into place, and if there's something that's covered by debris he can hack the blockage apart with his scythe even with the water resistance.
But it's a terrible idea because Shuji has two memories of drowning himself, and every time it gets even a little harder to breathe - and he knows the air bubble is safe, he's not going to die, he's not - it gets him pale and trembling, his eyes wide and unseeing of whatever's in front of him.]
One more shop, just one more, one more and then I'll go home...
[Someone should really send him home already.]
[II: Respartum, April 6-10] [Water was a bad idea, so maybe fire will work better?
Shuji wishes he had more affinity with spirits since he's one himself, but nope. At least he's not made of paper - that would make this conversation with this fire spirit more frustrating than it already is.]
If we play a fun game for a while, will you go back to your hearth again when you're satisfied? ...What kinds of games are fun for fire spirits...?
[That's directed at you, teammate/knowledgeable-looking person/passerby.]
[III: Bosuma, April 14] [Cherry is pissed off.
First of all, what kind of a task is 'apologize sincerely to three people' when you've forgotten who you are right now? If he doesn't remember what he's done to anyone here, how is he supposed to apologize for it?!
And even if he failed that task, that's no reason to turn him into this - this thing! This hideous thing! With the ugly mask and the black body and the complete lack of style!]
How dare she, when I get my name and face back I'm going to give her a piece of my mind...!
[Cherry's ranting is loud and angry, but of course it doesn't change the expression on his mask any.]
[IV: Magatus, April 16-18] [Bosuma was unpleasant. Magatus is, in some ways, worse.
The mark initially doesn't bother Shuji too much - it's on the back of his neck to start with. Sometimes he forgets it's there. But then it spreads, bringing pain with it, and when he investigates the forest to find a cure...]
Twenty-five and still in college? How embarrassing. His parents must have been tired of dealing with him failing over and over again. Should have just given up after the first time!
[He's wide-eyed, staring at the trees.]
That's just so like him, right? Making other people take care of him.
Shut up...
I bet they're all so tired of him talking about his memories. It's not like he's getting any better. If he really cared about them he'd just-
Shut up!
[He's yelling at some trees. He must really be crazy now.]
[V: Recolle, April 19-30] [You know what, he's just going to stay in Recolle for the rest of the month, thanks.
The mail is kind of a problem, but at least it has people's addresses on it. Shuji knows Recolle enough to deliver mail anywhere if he has that.
He rings someone's doorbell, and when they answer...]
Excuse me, I think this is for you.
[There's a letter in his hand - well, actually, it's bitten down on his hand hard enough to draw ink.
