Lisa-san isn't coming back and there are all sorts of rumors going around. Some say she's dead or she betrayed Seretei. I don't think she did. I don't think she would leave here like that. She wasn't unhappy with her life here. She was following Kyouraku taicho's orders. She might have read books that taicho made comments about, but that's nothing to go turn on your comrades for. She would have said something beforehand to me. Maybe something like being strong and possibly taking care of Kyouraku taicho. Or working hard and growing up to be a strong young woman. Those would be things she would have said before she would leave like this…

I hope Lisa-san is doing well. I hope that someone didn't forget to investigate more about the whole incident and make sure that she isn't somewhere dying slowly and alone. I hope that Lisa-san comes back someday if she is fine. I never got to tell her how much her friendship and guidance meant to me. I want to show her how much impact she's had on me by becoming a strong and independent shinigami woman. If I am honest with myself, she was my only true friend in this division.

Taicho looks so sad. I don't like seeing him that way. Tomorrow is the first of the month again but Lisa-san won't be here to read with me. Maybe I could ask Kyouraku-taicho. He might be too busy, but I want to cheer him up. I wonder if he's as sad as I am. But no one should be this sad alone.

I think I'll bring him a happy adventure story, one like the stories Lisa-san used to read me.
