I stepped out last night just before dawn to the Academy building, and have spent my time in the library, just reading about history and culture.

I left a number of blood packages near you. I know the taste is vile, but keep yourself hydrated, at least.

Are you quite happy with the results of this? More of these so-called hunters are beginning to eye your case with interest.

Me, too.

I don't really trust them much, though, now that I've watched the events unfolding today. The tree that these grotesque things are being left on is a Japanese cherry blossom tree.

... If you ask me why I shall ask you about cupcakes again.
