Dear diary

Still no sign of Marie and Seto can't help but go quiet. His smile isn't seen as much as before and I can understand more than a little. With no word from the police about their search, I can't add Maries disappearance on top of their other search. There might not be any need to worry and she'll be home soon, but Seto still can't help but to wonder the house and look partly lost. I can feel his pain and I do everything in my power to make sure I do what I can to keep the spirits up. Even as I write this, tears are rolling down my face I can't bare it anymore. Things are changing and people are going missing. Even Kano keeps going out, I can only assume that he's helping Seto with the searching. Every time I try and talk to him about it, he just looks to me with his fake smile, telling me not to worry.

To add to this string of bad feelings, Momo didn't get to have a party on her birthday, ironically her birthday falls on valentines days and none of us celebrated it. she doesn't look to bothered, but that doesn't excuse my negligence to an important occasion.

On the subject of birthdays, Ene refuses to tell us when her birthday is and keeps insisting that it's not all that important to know. I think its important for us all to celebrate the day of our births, like we're celebrating being brought into this world for us all to meet and become the family we are right now. We may argue, disagree, say the wrong things, harm Kano, but deep inside there is a care and love that's unmatched. I want everyone back together and return to how things were, even Kano being his annoying self, I want it all back.

I finally have the nerve to go to the police station, alone, and talk to the officers about the search for Hiyori and their search, unfortunately, has been fruitless. They can't find any clue or even a trace of where she might have gone but insist to continue their investigation until something turns up. I now need to find a way to tell everyone about this without them getting overly pessimistic or angry over this, knowing Hibiya, he'd be furious and accuse them of doing nothing. When they're doing all, they can and turning nothing, I imagine it's hard not to try and point blame to the police when you want the missing person to return so badly. My heart goes out to him even more when I think this way.
