Sorry for the five month disappearance! It has a lot to do with a lack of inspiration, but hopefully my writing improvements compensate for that.

Anyway, I'm going to start these little intervention things every time something important happens. Or whenever I feel like it, whatever. It's kind of a way to get in the mind of the characters! Hopefully you enjoy. :3 The real chapter four will be sometime soon.

Before I get on with my rant, I would like to address something first. Of course, it's about the discussion between Yosuke and I.

I can't help but wonder if the way I went about things was rather harsh. Besides that, I'm even more concerned on whether I just made things worse. Putting him on the spot like that and forcing him to decide... What if I just made things that much more confusing for him? I know him well by now and I know he's rather slow at understanding. Maybe he'll believe what he said, saying he loved Saki. I know that's a lie. Now that he assumes he's confirmed it, he'll believe that loving Chie – or liking, whatever he's doing – is wrong and he'll avoid her. That's going to cause a lot of problems... like we don't have enough in our little group.

Well, I'll stop worrying about that for now. There's something just as important to be concerned about! Yukiko! What if she begins to develop feelings for my dense "brother"?

…

Haha! Okay, that's just stupid to assume. But, regardless, what if she really just starts having fun and forgetting about me? She didn't even say anything after school like... "Oh, Souji, why did it have to be this way? Why wouldn't we raise a plastic baby together?" Horrible impersonation, but you get the point. (By the way, who am I even talking to when I refer to 'you' as I write these? Ah...) It's not like Sachi is a bad person... well, not too bad of a person anyway, but... why do I hesitate writing this down? I just... I really like Yukiko. A lot. Does she even know? I hang out with her after school more than even Yosuke now... I don't know how this even came about. Chie seems to know, though. Funny, since she has no idea Yosuke likes her when it's far more obvious... uh, I think it's more obvious, anyway.

Gah, what am I blabbing on about? I should probably tell Yukiko how I feel soon, before some bastard takes her away from me. Although, I'm really just paranoid because that's not really possible... The closest competitor is Ogasawara and if memory serves right, Yukiko finds him somewhat annoying.

Ah... I'm not usually like this...

Well, anyway, Chie's departure is tomorrow. I've been trying to come up with a plan on getting Yosuke to do something nice for her, but because of me, seems as if that won't happen. She seemed to enjoy her birthday though, so I guess that serves as some sort of compensation. Hopefully she doesn't get too lonely over there.

I should probably sleep. My mind is blank and tomorrow's going to be a long day with Sachi... I'm also pretty ti-

Yes, that cutoff is intentional.
