Day 11,460
Lovino came by the shop today with his brother. The two browsed the hats but I knew Lovino was coming to check in on me. He also stubbornly stated that he wanted me to come to his restaurant the next time I eat out with Alfred, causing me to say that I'm probably never going to eat with the bloke again. He doubts me, I know he does. Feliciano knows how we get so he's able to ignore us, but today he sided with his brother, saying it would be nice to see me more often. I'm not as friendly with the younger Italian, but he's not a bad chap. He also bought one of the German army hats I have for Ludwig, stating that the other blond lost his old cap somewhere and had been down ever since. I warned him that replacing it won't entirely help, but he merely smiled solemnly as he explained that it was his fault the hat was lost. He was taking responsibility for it and that warmed my heart. It's an excuse to come to my shop but a good one.
After they spent a few hours with me, they left and Alfred came in ten minutes later. The man seems to be coming around a lot more often these days as I've seen him every day since I came back home. I'm not sure why, but I'm not complaining. Today was the day he gave me that thank you gift he talked about before. It's some kind of object that can do something for me so I don't have to do it myself. A replacement vacuum of sorts. A Roomba, I believe he called it? He explained that he unfortunately couldn't make a gift for me at this time, he was busy fixing up things at the factory, so he bought this for me instead. He also insisted that if it needs repairs to go to him. He'll fix it for free. I have no clue where this kindness is really coming from, but I'm not about to bite the hand that offers it.
The American stayed around for a while before leaving. This is the fourth day he's visited and not bought a hat. I have to wonder if he really does come for the hats or if he comes to see me. Oh, Arthur, don't go imagining things. Like that would be something he'd do. No one would go out of their way just to see you like that for no real reason. No one.
Before I forget, I need to remind myself to take better care of my cat. No matter how much I dislike him, Ignatius does need to be taken care of by me. I'm grateful that my neighbor could look after him while I was away, but I can't make a habit of that. I should have asked Lovino or even Kiku, but I suppose that's for the future. I need to do this so my cat doesn't scratch my face when I try to be affectionate. I seriously think he hates me just as much as I dislike him. Why do I bother having him around? Bloody cat.
