90 - false spring
(( Start and leave this song playing as you read, if you'd like. ))

[ Ginko wasn't strutting. He didn't strut. He strolled. He was strolling like normal! It didn't matter that he was strolling with slightly more confidence today. And it also didn't have anything at all to do with materialistic things like what one was wearing.

If you're curious, which he didn't care if you were or not, Ginko was wearing a new long coat, new pants, and a brand-spanking new pair of shoes. Italian. Under the coat was a comfortable new cashmere sweater.

But of course, it's not like he was waiting for people to say something. Nawww. ]

Hope Kyouya doesn't make too much of a fool of himself when I walk into the classroom. ...Well. Maybe I hope he does, actually.

Anybody know why Kyouya is absent today? [Private] *INNER SAD FACE* [/Private]

*Ginko spends the rest of the day looking vaguely disappointed, compared to how he came into work in the morning*

I remembered...a boy and his older sister. Their names were Miharu and Suzu.

The snow was very thick in that area, and I couldn't get through as quickly as I thought, so I went to the first house I came across to ask to stay the night. I'm not sure where their parents were, but the sister seemed used to taking care of things - except when it came to her mischievous younger brother. She couldn't see the strange things that Miharu and I could see. I hadn't meant to stay, but I thought it might be good to teach Miharu a few things about mushi so he didn't get himself into trouble. Aah, what a hyper kid he was. =_W

I...hadn't meant to stay.

After a few weeks, I could tell that mushi were increasing in number around the house, and it would soon be time to go. They both tried to have me stay, but there was nothing I could do.

I promised to come back and visit though, although not in the cold of the winter. "Humans are weak in the winter", I explained.

She hugged my arm.

A part of me wishes I'd hugged back.

...I wish I... ...had told Tanyuu that I...

(( OOC: In the last post, Ginko went and put down several thousand dollars for some new threads! He's really had the same boring style for all his time here at the island, so you guys would probably notice. How exciting. This memory of the "False Spring" episode is a 5% memory regain because I think it's an important one for Ginko; that's 2% left over from Oktoberfest, and 3% from Halloween. If you've come to like my Ginko here at ME, WATCH THIS EPISODE; it is where a good amount of his characterization comes from♥ X3 ))
