We're all still a little torn up about losing Brodie. He was a part of this crazy family, you know? It's like losing that drunken uncle who shows up on christmas and reveals to everyone that your brother is gay. As much as that uncle ruined family dinners, it was nice to gather around the christmas tree after he set it on fire with his cigar and sing carols. Poor Riona is the most depressed. She really liked Brodie, said he was like her older brother.
I was telling Celeste all about it. Masuyo was in the living room at the same time and she started crying. I asked her if she was okay. I thought that maybe mentioning it again upset her and was ready to comfort her but...she said no. She wasn't upset about that. No. She was upset because I got phone calls and she didn't. ...Yeah. Real depth to this girl.
Axelle and Enu aren't as torn up as the rest of us. Axelle is just a cool person, she probably just doesn't want to show how upset she is and Enu...well..she's too self-absorbed to care much. But they both had some good ideas. They suggested we all get together and try to do stuff to help us move on. Hm...
I managed to get Riona off the couch long enough to reintroduce her to the easel. She really seems to like painting and it is a great way to get out our emotions. It keeps her happy and out of my hair so it's all good. Plus, she makes me money with her odd little pieces! How can I not love that?
Okay so Enu decided she is a medium. Yeah. She was sleeping on the couch and apparently, she saw Brodie floating around. Like a ghost, right. She said he was reenacting his death, complete with over dramatized choking.
She claims to keep seeing him. I haven't seen him. The only one who has was Demyan and...well...do you trust ninja boy's judgement? Do you? Thought not. I dunno. Enu is the biggest cukoo cukoo here.
Dr. Stein is always having to visit her. This whole ghost incident just made it worse. He has to pop in almost twice a day, just to make sure she doesn't lose it completely. I am starting to feel bad for the poor guy.
I am trying to be understanding. She did see Brodie die. Perhaps it is guilt that's bothering her? In any case, I decided to make us all something special. My granny used to always say pies make everyone happy so...I decided to bake one. I hope everyone likes cherry...
It did the trick, I guess. Everyone has had a bit of a bounce to their step since. Masuyo even decided to watch a movie with me. It was...a weird movie but we both enjoyed it. We even laughed!
Dr. Stein brought over a football the other day. He said physical activity was crucial to recovery. I was shocked when Riona was he first to start up a game. I never took her for the athletic type but..she has a good arm.
Ninja boy isn't as useless as I thought. He actually got accepted into some fancy smancy art club. Granted, he can't actually visit the club 'till his dept to society is paid but...
Oh yeah. Axelle and Shura have been spending alot of time together. It's weird. I mean, they were good friends before but now...they seem alot closer. You know?
My suspicions were confirmed one afternoon when I was reading a magazine the paperboy dropped off. I was flipping through the pages, not paying much attention to Shura and Axelle. Axelle was talking but then it got quiet so I looked up and..SMOOCHVILLE! Hello! Wow. I was suprrised. I didn't say anything though. I just looked back at my magazine.
I guess they go together, huh? Shura is a huge enviornmentalist and...well..Axelle is sorta on the tree hugging side too. She also doesn't mind his odd physique. Yeah. We've all seen it. And she likes it, apparently.
Speaking of odd, some random guy dropped off a present. Dr. Stein confiscated it, of course. He said I can have it back once I get out. So apparently it was for me? Weird. Wonder who that guy was but...YAY, FREE PRESENT!
I'm almost out of this place, you know. My job is really helping with my recovery. I'm almost at the top and once I am, this place is history! I'm gonna move so far away, no one will be able to find me! ...or not. I dunno. This town seems nice. I just want out of this house!
