Papa "Is it lame for your best friend to be your dad? I guess it probably is. That's just how things have always been. He says he sees a lot of mamma in me, but I don't know. I think he and I are the same. As wonderful as that is, it scares me, too. I don't think papa could ever do anything other than work at Kirijo..."
|
Mamma "I remember when she wasn't so serious all of the time. She used to laugh a lot more before papa's promotion. Now, I see her for breakfast and dinner, but otherwise we're both too tired to talk about much of anything together. I think that happier version of her is in there somewhere, though, because she still wears those stupid bunny slippers even though they're totally falling apart. (The only time she sits still long enough for me to draw her is when she reads at breakfast.)

Götz "Poor Götz is really getting old. Today I watched him wander around in the yard for an hour, looking for where he buried the pig's ear that papa bought him yesterday. I had to get it for him, and by then he was too tired to even chew it. He'll probably forget where we left it on the porch by tomorrow afternoon. At least skipping his pig's ear means he won't be gassing the house tonight."

Alecto "I GOT A CAT!!! Well okay, so he isn't really mine. He belongs to a pianist named Miyamoto that I met years ago, and then again recently at a concert (I'm going to get to that part, it's seriously crazy). For some reason his cat was just wandering around. I thought it was going to get trampled on! Anyway, his name is Alecto, he's black, and he's sooooooo cuuuuute! I'm going to sew a hat for him!!!!!!"
|
Seiichi Miyamoto "I guess he isn't actually a psychopathic murderer. Kirijo-sempai says that the real Seiichi has been in the hospital, and it was his Shadow that came to my house to get his cat. I think it's still going to freak me out to see him at the piano during recitals. Sorry I couldn't draw a better doodle of him, but he's pretty much always facing the piano when I see him, so this is how I remember him!"
|
Shadows "Remember my earlier entry, diary? About the You Know Whos? It turns out they're actually called Shadows. There are different kinds of them, but they all seem to look like real people...even though it doesn't sound like they are. There are different kinds of them, but they all have those creepy eyes I mentioned. I'm still having nightmares about them, but at least now I know I'm not crazy. They really do exist. I wish that made me feel better. It definitely doesn't."
|
Mitsuru Kirijo "Yes, THAT Mitsuru Kirijo! Papa sent her to talk to me about the You Know Whos that I told you about before. You wouldn't believe the things she said to me about what's really going on in the Five Cities. Insane things. If they happened in a cartoon, I probably still wouldn't believe them, but you know what? I believed her, anyway. She doesn't have any reason to lie to me, and besides that, she told me some things about my family that I don't dare write down in case mamma is reading this (YOU HAD BETTER NOT BE READING MY DIARY, MAMMA! IF YOU ARE YOU SHOULD PUT IT BACK RIGHT NOW!!!)..."

Shinjiro Aragaki "I feel like such an idiot, carrying on like that in front of Kirijo-sempai, but his was the last face I expected to see when I walked into that hospital room! She says he's her right-hand-man for SEES and all of those things I can't write about here, which makes it extra-sad that he's in some kind of coma. I wish I could help. (I checked his eyes just to be safe, since Kirijo-sempai's are sort of red, and I didn't want to be rude and be like 'hey, are you a Shadow too?' to the daughter of papa's boss. Anyway, they were grey.)"
