[Private Diary]

[Tomoe Hotaru]

[A tome bound in black leather that Hotaru most frequently keeps in her pillowcase in her bedroom. It has a small catch on it, a traditional diary lock. The key is secured underneath one of her favorite lamps.

Precise, beautiful calligraphy details anything in her day-to-day life that was interesting or of note to her. In the bottom left hand corner of every twenty-fifth page, she inscribes her approximated age to the day for future reference.

Inside the cover, in English script, she has transcribed a number of Yeats poems and curiosities.]

I have no desire to dwell on such things, but I should keep recording them in this book.
