Another HiME here. Why is she looking for Kanzaki-senpai? She really sounded like she was ready to kill him. There's something I missed even while I was there. Something important, isn't it?

...It's not important anymore. The Festival can't repeat itself here. I hope things remain calm, for Takumi's sake. None of us asked to be part of such horror, but he especially...deserves a normal life.

It's not my business. I won't make it my business.

[ written even smaller, then quickly crossed out as if she's changed her mind ]

Add Kuga Natsuki to the watch li Not my business.

Your sisters' friend is here, Takumi. But please don't meet with her without my company. Just like with the president, I have my reasons.

And don't think I can't tell that you're up to something. Where have you been?

I know that people are taken from here all the time, even if they can't control when they leave. I'm often hearing people debate back and forth on methods they could try.

But my question is this: How does one ensure that they never leave?

You want to stay?

Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. It's just a question.

[brbfisting.livejournal.com]

Seems like you're intent on staying here.

As for an answer, I don't have one. I haven't been here long.

...would something like that be possible? People say that time flows differently here, and that it returns everyone to the point that they left, but people arrive from different time periods in the same world quite often. But for time to continue on, it would not imply that everyone is returned to their own world at some point?

There are plenty here who are dead, aren't there? It doesn't sound as simple as that.

The dead cannot be kept in a single place for very long. Whether they returned to their world at some point or not, the castle would need to loosen it's hold on them eventually. I do not believe it would have a choice in the matter.

[fsdglkha can...recognize this handwriting from that time they wrote to each other and admin forms and stuff. She kind of knows the "why" behind the question, but do you want to miss your pay for those few moments you get to show up? she is going to make this her business anyway]

Unlikely. Let me know if you do find out.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

Is that a request or an order?

[saikyou-saiaku.livejournal.com]

Which would you prefer?

[dictated back]

If I knew, I'd be doing it. The only trend I know of is that people who are really quiet tend to go a lot more often than people who get themselves involved, make connections with other people, that sort of thing.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

So it has a habit of keeping the people who it deems useful.

I don't know if anyone has ever really found a way.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

It doesn't sound like there are a lot of people trying for that end, though, so it's no surprise if a method hasn't been discovered.
