After all that I've come to realize, I find myself in this horrendous place that I have not the slightest clue as to where I'm at.

Where is Jin? Where is Raphael? Where is Kazuya-nii?

A lady with purple hair told me that my job is to be a firefighter at a district called Arcadia. But yet, I live in another district called Palamedes, where everything looks like I'm in some sort of Renaissance period even if everything is still technologically advanced.

I'm confused. I have no idea what to do, and I have never felt so alone in my entire life. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm even real.

I didn't think it would come back, but it did.

What I spent 20 years in doing, is now all for naught.

Excuse the "emo-tastic" post, but I felt like it had to be done. Now, I have absolustely no idea what to do.

After having a serious conversation with the only one I had left, there are things I realize that are out of my hands. Still, it gives me much to think about. About things I really do not wish to think about. Something I had spent 20 years on was, all too suddenly, brought back to me. Feelings of confusion, anger, rage, sorrow... Those are feelings I do not want to experience ever again. Those feelings, I'm afraid, seem to be something that I will experience once again in due time.

There's only one problem: I do not want to. I've made myself clear on that already.

I'm trying to move on from the past. Why do I suddenly feel like it's chasing me all over again?

Edit: I think a trip back to Bermuda is in order...

...was quite fun. Thank you, Raphael. I'm not sure where to go from there, however. Also, Amy is such a princess.

I must give everything a thought. This was the last thing I ever expected.

Edit: I also found some very familiar faces here on this campus after this past weekend. Things should get to be a bit interesting now...

I've been too busy grading papers and calculating grades.

I need to see the student "Maxi Shimizu" to my office tomorrow during 3rd period.

That is all.

Raphael, I do hope that you have a suitable wear for the occasion tomorrow night?

I have to say that the first week of school is a little exciting. While students in my accounting class are already struggling with terminology, they show promise. Then again, it's only the first week of school. Unfortunately, being the advisor for FBLA is going to prove to be challenging. The students there are inept of starting their own business at this point and it'd be sad to let them all know that. Then again, they think I don't know anything. Heh. Wait till I show them.

The Human Sexuality class has proven to be quite interesting. Some of the students seem to be very embarrassed to be in this class. While it's a little sad, it's interesting to know what sorts of things these students got themselves into. Trust me. It will be a very educational experience.

For someone who's 32 and complains about not finding someone to date, I don't think he has much to complain about. I'm 48 too old old enough to know that he shouldn't be thinking about things like that. Yes, I'm talking about you, Mr. Sorel.

Time for the balcony to have myself a cig.

Moving here to San Francisco was the best thing I could have ever done. I'm finally away from all those damned.... things.

I decided to use my expertise and pass it on to younger ones because I felt like it's something I can do, and give the young ones something that's actually useful. Because that stupid old man never did. Yes, I'm going to be a teacher and a counselor at this school called South Calibur High School. This ought to be interesting. Those kids would never guess how old I am. So why disclose the information to anyone?

I see a rather familiar face on these journals. Jin, you should go to the school I'll be teaching at. I can keep an eye on you that way.

I need to hurry and settle in. I don't have much time until school starts.
