[At first, there's the sound of a lot of shuffling like someone trying to grab the journal but they can't quite pick it up. After a bit of struggling, there's a loud thump of the sound of something hitting the floor with said-journal. There's a bit of grumbling, but not much.

And though the words are clearly angry, the voice that's speaking them is so high-pitched that it's probably just laughable.]

This isn't what I had in mind when I said I missed seeing the monsters!

You don't remember it because you weren't there. You weren't born yet, so you don't ... know.

After the battle, the three of us were sent home. There were so many expecting faces. Mommy, Daddy... everyone's parents who were waiting for us. And ... we couldn't tell them. We just said... they'd have to wait a little longer.

... and then we all went home. The days got longer and eventually the whole city just ... went back to normal. Everyone got used to it. Except for the three of us. We knew the truth.

How...did the others take it?

... TK always had that hope inside that everything would fix itself again someday. Always. I ... I couldn't stand it. Mimi ... she tried to look out for us, but then her family moved away.

That's just like him too. ...Mimi moved to America, right? [It's kind of killing him that he's not able to protect baby sister from all of this horrible stuff that apparently happened to her.] What did Mom and Dad say?

They used to talk about it every day. As if he could just come back. As if there was still a fight to be won.

Then they just...stopped?

No one in the city wanted to acknowledge it. They probably felt that they didn't have a choice. They used to talk and meet with the other parents, but eventually that just slowed down, too.
