Blue Diary 3
They did it! Yae and Sae got away!
Father woke me up this morning, he was so angry...they got away. The whole village is looking for them. They took Itsuki to the storehouse, father said they think he had something to do with it. They found him coming into the village from Misono hill. Father said he should have run too, but he wouldn't. He'd never leave Chitose.
This afternoon father let me into the storehouse, to see Itsuki. He has the spare key, but he's not supposed to use it. Apparently Itsuki's been asking for me since they locked him up. Father didn't see any harm in it. I think he wanted me to get some sort of confession out of him, but I'd never tell. I don't know what they'd do to him if they knew he helped them...or me if they knew I helped him...
When I saw Itsuki, he made me promise I'd look after Chitose. He kept on saying she needed someone to look after her...it was strange...like he didn't expect to get out.
I went to see Chitose before it got dark. She was so sad...or was she angry. She wanted to go and see Itsuki, but the priests wouldn't let her. She blames Yae and Sae for all this. She kept saying they shouldn't have run away.
Maybe they shouldn't have? The priests are anxious, the ground shakes more often and there are more butterflies. They think the X is opening, they need to perform another ritual. The Kusabi alone wasn't enough, but...who will perform the ritual if not Yae and Sae?
