About

This is Riku Amagoi's carefully preserved diary. 2/3 They say today is Setsubun. I think I'm probably on the ogre's side. If someone shouts "Out with the ogre," I wonder if I'll finally be able to go outside? 2/4 The first snow fell today. It was a little cold, but the snow was so beautiful, just like Guest. 2/5 Guest was unusually clingy today. Guest's warm fur healed my heart. 2/6 Today I'll introduce my beloved Guest. Guest is the cat who has been with me since I was nine. My only family and the one I love most. That white fur is so beautiful, that meow is so cute, and just watching Guest eat is so healing. No matter what anyone says, I love Guest! Whenever I try to give a kiss, a soft paw stops me. 2/7 I talk to the Moon every day. It's a shame I can't talk to the Sun anymore since I got burned by his light three years ago. 2/8 Something wonderful happened today! When I spoke to Guest, I got a reply. That happens all the time, but today I understood what Guest was saying. I am so, so happy.

I'm not going to die.
