- Note; I am writing the following chapters of "Life afterwards" as Chihiro's diary. I am not the creator of Spirited Away, nor are theses diaries real. -

Its been a few weeks since my encounter with Haku. I'm changing as a person and my life differs from anyone else's. My parents think I'm reserved now and cold, I'm just lonely.. that's all. My new school isn't bad, apart from the fact that I have no friends, nor interact with my teachers. My marks are fair, I don't really bother studying anyhow. I wouldn't say that I'm a sad person, I just would have done so much better if I wouldn't have encountered what I did in the past. I can't go anywhere without having hallucinations.. I see Yu-babaa jogging in the park and Haku flying in the sky as a dragon. I can't think properly nor sleep. It isn't normal for a 10 year old to be like this, but somehow I can't help it. There are times where I regret ever talking to Haku as river form, and there are times where I would just love to replay it over. I met a few girls my age, but they all think I'm odd. My neighbour is an 11 year old boy, he always walks me to school, then he acts as if he doesn't know me. Perhaps his mother wants him to walk with me.. or maybe it was just my own mother who asked him so I don't feel left out all the time. Its raining outside, and its quite windy. Everytime I approach water, it feels as if Haku is with me, as if he's swimming around me. When I drink water, it feels as if he's running through my veins, perhaps conversing with my insides.. -sigh-
