That sucked. It’s no fun being kidnapped. Not that I really thought it would be. Worse, I think I’ve finally pushed my luck with my parents for the last time. Sure, I can sneak out over a weekend or two. But going missing for an entire week without a word, eh, it’s too much for them. I wish I could just tell them I got a sometimes demanding after-school Cafe job, but they’re not the coffee type. They’re tourists with a capital T. And while they don’t usually care too much about where I am or what I’m doing, I guess I hit a nerve this time.
Howzit, everyone? Holding up okay, I hope? I heard about the Mrs. Aka situation. I hope #35 is doing okay. Well, I mean, I saw she was doing okay yesterday except for the whole house arrest thing. I don’t know her home situation, but I get it. It seems too simple to say parents don’t understand but… sometimes they really don’t. They can’t. But they still have to balance doing what they think is right, even when it’s wrong because the world outside their home doesn’t care what’s right or wrong. #35 was actually in trouble, after all. I get why they’d want to keep her safe. I’m sure #53 can figure out some sort of way to shill things for her parents, though, right? We’ll figure out something, I’m sure.


Which, also, not fair. I didn’t hit this nerve; Mrs. Aka and her goons did. It’s not like I wanted to disappear for a week. Well, the bad news is my parents are now going to pick me up from school, and I’m to stay in my room until, I don’t know, I rot away. Or turn 18. Whichever comes first, I guess. Luckily, I still have my CaDCom, but there’s not really much point in putting in receipts when I can’t serve coffee all that much. I’ve thought about just sneaking out, and maybe it’ll get easier a month or two out, but we’ve got some seriously hot Nicaraguan coffee that needs to be served before it goes cold.
As for Mr. Trigano, he’s doing better. He’s started to stir a bit more, though he’s still only managing a few hushed fragments at a time. From what he’s said, it sounds like he’s very concerned about his cousins. Of course, I don’t want to push him about the whole House of Seth business. Not right now, anyway. Though, Mrs. Middletown is still out there and likely still hunting for her next “promotion.” Also, Mrs. Pleasant factors in somehow, I’m sure, though she’s been sticking to the Church like a moth to a flame.


That creep Augustine did something to me. Well, did something with me, I guess. It sounds really bad when I phrase it like that, but you know what I mean. He used my “unique vision” without my permission. I don’t know how or why he did it. I don’t really remember any of my time with Mrs. Aka, Miss. Hawthorne, or Augustine. I’m pretty sure Mrs. Umbra had me in some sort of hypnagogic state. Always fun. If I could get back to the Cafe, I’m sure #71 could check me out, but I guess one problem at a time.</span>
I’m hoping Mr. Trigano will be more or less back to his usual self in another week or so. Even if we haven’t been able to talk much, it’s been nice spending time with him again. I hope he’ll feel the same way when he fully wakes up. I think in the worst case he’ll be mad that I wasted time taking care of him when I should have been getting somewhere safe.

Howzit, everyone? Holding up okay, I hope? I heard about the Mrs. Aka situation. I hope #35 is doing okay. Well, I mean, I saw she was doing okay yesterday except for the whole house arrest thing. I don’t know her home situation, but I get it. It seems too simple to say parents don’t understand but… sometimes they really don’t. They can’t. But they still have to balance doing what they think is right, even when it’s wrong because the world outside their home doesn’t care what’s right or wrong. #35 was actually in trouble, after all. I get why they’d want to keep her safe. I’m sure #53 can figure out some sort of way to shill things for her parents, though, right? We’ll figure out something, I’m sure. As for Mr. Trigano, he’s doing better. He’s started to stir a bit more, though he’s still only managing a few hushed fragments at a time. From what he’s said, it sounds like he’s very concerned about his cousins. Of course, I don’t want to push him about the whole House of Seth business. Not right now, anyway. Though, Mrs. Middletown is still out there and likely still hunting for her next “promotion.” Also, Mrs. Pleasant factors in somehow, I’m sure, though she’s been sticking to the Church like a moth to a flame.
