Dear diary

Kano has been spending more time out and about, more so than usual and has been returning at a later time than when he claims to. Usually telling everyone that he lost track of time on a walk, though he doesn't tell where he walks to or who with. I can only guess where he has gone each night in the last week. There are even times when he has returned and I've been asleep in our bed, I know because I'd wake up with a small note on the side informing me of lunch or breakfast that he made before leaving again. I can't help but feel he's hiding something from us all, and somehow it hurts me to know this more than I feel it should. Like part of me wants to know the reason behind his actions as of late for more personal reasons. I wonder if I should confront him about this as demand to know what's going on, but I don't know if I'm asking for the group or just for me.
