[Raven blows onto the journal, then wipes it with his hand, flicking through the pages to find out when the last time he bothered to make an entry with it was. He sighs, has it really been that long? Even thinking about how long he's been in Luceti for any extended period of time is depressing enough for him.]

If I didn't know any better I'd say this thing was startin' ta gather dust.

For those that hadn't noticed yet, Estelle was sent back home a few days ago. I don't know when exactly, but all her things are gone
[He pauses for a moment. House 12 is really quiet now compared to how it used to be. Of course he cared about the princess, he cared about everyone from their world, he's just finding it weird to see them all going home after so long whilst leaving him behind.]

Anyway! She used ta work in the library here and left some stuff regardin' it behind, or ta be more specific, she left a set of instructions on how ta sort the books as well as a set of keys. From the look of it I guess she wanted someone to take the care of the place if she ever got sent home, and considerin' she was working there long before I showed up then it must've meant a lot to her. I can pass the stuff over to anyone who's interested, just let me know! It's not gonna go anywhere by itself.

Oh, and if this old man's memory isn't failin' him again, which it does a lot, she also had a book club goin'. Books aren't really my thing though, if someone wants to start that up again then feel free.

That's about it! I got nothin' else worth sayin', wake me up when it's hot enough for the women to break out the swimsuits.

[Filtered to Zack | He's not even trying with this filter]

Considering Yuri's been gone a while now, have ya got any ideas on what ta do with the guild?

But when he goes home he'll then know how to play and then might fight!

Do kids born in this world ever get ta go "home"?

I'll find a way for them to come home with us. I won't let him be left here alone.

[With Yuri gone, and Judith having no memories, he wonders if Jonah will ever be remembered or ever have the chance to be with his parents. Who knows where the Malnosso took him.]

Would that even be possible?

I'll find a way.

[He pauses for a moment, not saying a word.]

Then I'll help ya find a way too!

Great! The more eyes and ears to figure this stuff out the better!

I wonder what would happen if a kid was born from parents of two different worlds? How could ya make the decision of which world ta send them to?

That would be pretty hard, but maybe one of the parents will want to go to the other's world.

Ya mean like that anchorin' thing that happened? I'm not sure that's a good thing, ya gotta think of the bigger picture! It must have some effect.

I think it could be done safely, we just got to figure out how these shifts work! [Easier said than done, he knows, be he's determined.]

Even the Malnosso can't seem ta get the shifts workin' the way they want, and they have whole labs dedicated ta this stuff! How would we ever be able ta learn half of what they already do?

They'll slip up some day, then we'll have our chance.

They slip up all the time! That's why we end up with such strange experiments in the first place.

[He sounds so defeatist.]

They just haven't slipped up in a way we can take advantage of yet is all!

It must be nice ta be so optimistic! I feel like this place has let me down enough in the past.

Hey! There's always a chance for something good to happen!

Only if- [He stops himself, why was being so down all of a sudden? Maybe having his friends leave was hitting him harder than he thought.]

Ya know what, you're right! Somethin' good is bound to happen! Even if it's just by chance!

There you go! That's the spirit! Things can't stay bad all the time after all!

Exactly! Bad things are just the absence of good things!

That reminds me, we should really go drinkin' again sometime. It's been too long and this old man isn't gettin' any younger!

Oh right! Yes! I should get some wild nights in before the kid shows up!

You can get them after the kid is born too! Nobody wants ta be stuck in a house with a cryin' baby all night!

Yeah, except the parents will probably kill me if I stumble home late at night and wake the kid or let the kid see.

If ya get drunk that badly you can always come and crash at house twelve, it's not as if we don't have room here.

Oh! Perfect! I could maybe slip in when the kid cries at night too! [No, Raven! He'll take advantage of that offer! To include the fridge too!]
