Dear diary

Momo got back in touch with the agency, and they agreed to take her back on, this is good news for the financial side of the den but I often wonder if that's the life that she wanted to return to because she wanted to go back or if she wanted to for our sake. She has been really helpful without going to them and I feel bad that she got back in to secure our financial futures. She listed the den we live in as her residency and it was the common trait to our CV's when it came to applying for work. With those who are able to work, finding it, we're able to at least get the supplies we need to keep the den running as it should be.

Though this means that Momo will be out more often and Hibiya will also be left along more often than not, this alone concerns me since he's still hung up on Hiyori's disappearance. I wonder if he'd be tempted to go looking for her himself, despite our efforts to try and comfort him by telling him to let the police do their job, he still insists that he could find her quicker using his focusing eyes. id agree that our abilities would help, but if our powers haven't been any good at finding her, his especially, then what exactly can be done to find her. The police might some up with a solution that we're not able to see.

Nowadays, I often ask myself if im really as good of a leader as big sister Ayano and what would she have done in this situation. Knowing her, she'd of tried her best to help Hibiya while keeping the peace. I can't even do that much, the proof being the Momo went back to the idol life that she wanted to escape from. Things are just getting harder and harder and the solution to the problem seems to be getting harder and harder to see, not that it was easy to begin with. I don't want Hibiya to lose hope of finding her, but I also don't want him to lose out on the education he is getting, going to school, and getting a better life for himself while he's living with us. I just don't know what I should, or meant, to do when things keep going out of control. What should I do? Or more importantly, what can I do?
